Answer:
1. Mg (s) + 2Na+(aq) → 2Na(s) + Mg²⁺(aq)
2. 2K(s) + Cd²⁺(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + Cd(s)
Explanation:
The net ionic equation of a reaction express only the chemical species that are involved in the reaction:
1. Mg (s) + Na2CrO4 (aq) → 2Na + MgCrO4(aq)
The ionic equation:
Mg (s) + 2Na+(aq) + CrO4²⁻ (aq) → 2Na + Mg²⁺ + CrO4²⁻(aq)
Subtracting the ions that don't change:
<h3>Mg (s) + 2Na+(aq) → 2Na + Mg²⁺</h3>
2. 2K(s) + Cd(NO3)2(aq) → 2KNO3(aq) + Cd(s)
The ionic equation:
2K(s) + Cd²⁺(aq) + 2NO3⁻(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO3⁻(aq) + Cd(s)
Subtracting the ions that don't change:
<h3>2K(s) + Cd²⁺(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + Cd(s)</h3>
The

C</span>₂H₄ +
O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O<span>
To balance the equation, both side have same
number of elements. Here,</span>
In left hand
side has
in right hand side has
4 H atoms
2 H
atoms
2 C atoms 1 C
atom
<span>
2 O atoms 3 O
atoms
First, we have to balance number of C atoms and number of H atoms in both side.
To balance C atoms, '2' should be added before CO</span>₂ and to balance H atoms, '2' should be added
before H₂<span>O.
Then number of oxygen atoms is </span>2 x 2 + 2 = 6 in right hand side. So, 3 should be
added before O₂<span> in left hand side.
After balancing the equation should be,</span>
C₂H₄<span> + 3O</span>₂<span> → 2CO</span>₂<span> + 2H</span>₂O
Answer: Polar Easterlies
Explanation: Winds flow from high pressure areas to low pressure areas. They originate in the north and south pole creating high pressure zones which generates an outflow. This outflow is then directed from east to west and hence the term used to describe these winds is Polar Easterlies.
