Question

Use the solubility rules to determine if:

Answer 1

Answer:

A reaction is said to occur if there is a formation of an insoluble solid or a precipitate(s) or a liquid (l) or a gas(g).

If both the reactants and products are in aqueous state, No reaction takes place.

$2 \mathrm{NaCl}(a q)+M g B r_{2}(a q)>M g C l_{2}(a q)+2 \mathrm{NaBr}(a q)(\mathrm{NO} \text { REACTION })$

All chlorides and Bromides are soluble except that of Ag, Hg and Pb.

Hence, No reaction takes place since all the reactants and products are in aqueous states.

${KOH}(a q)+{NaCl}(a q)>K C l(a q)+{NaOH}(a q)(\mathrm{NO} \text { REACTION })$

Salts  of Group IA are soluble. Hence No reaction takes place

$M g S(a q)+2 {NaOH}(a q)>M g(O H)_{2}(s)+N a_{2} S(a q)$

(REACTION TAKES PLACE)

All hydroxides are insoluble except that of Group IA, ammonium ion and  Group IIA down from Calcium.

Hence Reaction takes place with the formation of $Mg(OH)_2$ precipitate
