Question

Aqueous calcium chloride reacts with aqueous potassium carbonate in a double-displacement reaction. Write a balanced equation to describe this reaction. Include states of matter in your answer. Click in the answer box to open the symbol palett

Answer 1

Answer: $CaCl_2(aq)+K_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq)+CaCO_3(s)$

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

The balanced reaction between aqueous calcium chloride reacts with aqueous potassium carbonate is shown as:

$CaCl_2(aq)+K_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2KCl(aq)+CaCO_3(s)$
