C. Developing effective methods of food preservation

Explanation:

The development of effective methods of food preservation is a much more smaller and manageable problem that contributes to the complex problem.

The percentage of food rotting is not as a result of lack of an effective preservation technique as highlighted in the passage. It is due to the long distances of agricultural area from where the farms are located.

  • To cut the loss, efficient and rapid transportation techniques needs to be put in place to carry the fruits and vegetables to the area where they are needed.
  • This is the most complex problem that if solved can peg back food rot.
  • Additional measures should be put in place to preserve the food.

II. Ionic Equations
mario62 [17]

Answer:

Complete ionic: \begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}.

Net ionic: \begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}.

Explanation:

Start by identifying species that exist as ions. In general, such species include:

  • Soluble salts.
  • Strong acids and strong bases.

All four species in this particular question are salts. However, only three of them are generally soluble in water: \rm AgNO_3, \rm CaCl_2, and \rm Ca(NO_3)_2. These three salts will exist as ions:

  • Each \rm AgNO_3\, (aq) formula unit will exist as one \rm Ag^{+} ion and one \rm {NO_3}^{-} ion.
  • Each \rm CaCl_2 formula unit will exist as one \rm Ca^{2+} ion and two \rm Cl^{-} ions (note the subscript in the formula \rm CaCl_2\!.)
  • Each \rm Ca(NO_3)_2 formula unit will exist as one \rm Ca^{2+} and two \rm {NO_3}^{-} ions.

On the other hand, \rm AgCl is generally insoluble in water. This salt will not form ions.

Rewrite the original chemical equation to get the corresponding ionic equation. In this question, rewrite \rm AgNO_3, \rm CaCl_2, and \rm Ca(NO_3)_2 (three soluble salts) as the corresponding ions.

Pay attention to the coefficient of each species. For example, indeed each \rm AgNO_3\, (aq) formula unit will exist as only one \rm Ag^{+} ion and one \rm {NO_3}^{-} ion. However, because the coefficient of \rm AgNO_3\, (aq)\! in the original equation is two, \!\rm AgNO_3\, (aq) alone should correspond to two \rm Ag^{+}\! ions and two \rm {NO_3}^{-}\! ions.

Do not rewrite the salt \rm AgCl because it is insoluble.

\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}.

Eliminate ions that are present on both sides of this ionic equation. In this question, such ions include one unit of \rm Ca^{2+} and two units of \rm {NO_3}^{-}. Doing so will give:

\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}.

Simplify the coefficients:

\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}.
