<span>Ca(NO3)2 + Na2CO3 = CaCO3 + 2NaNO3
Yes a precipitate of Calcium Carbonate is formed since it is insoluble in water.
Mol Wt of Calcium Nitrate is 164. And that of Calcium Carbonate is 100.
One mole of Calcium Nitrate produces one mole of Calcium Carbonate.
i.e. 164 gms will produce 100gms of precipitate
So, 1.74gms of Calcium Carbonate will be obtained from 2.85gms Calcium Nitrate present in the original solution.</span>
Unfortunately you did not specify the electronic configuration in the question, however since one of the answers must be a halogen, i took the liberty to attach an image with the configuration (both the simple numeric and spdf form) for all the halogen and all you have to do is match the electronic configuration you have in your question to the one in the table attached and you can then deduce the answer.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form Thorium-234 as daughter product.
Explanation:
Alpha decay is indicative of loss of the equivalents of a helium particle emission. The reaction equation for this reaction is shown below:
→ 
I hope this explanation is clear and explanatory.
