(a) ions in a certain volume of .20M NaCl (aq) are represented in the box above on the left. in the box above on the right, draw
a particulate diagram that represents the ions in the same volume of .10 M CaCl2 (aq).

Answer:
- The first picture attached is the diagram that accompanies the question.
- The<u> second picture attached</u> is the diagram with the answer.
Explanation:
In the box on the left there are 8 Cl⁻ ions and 8 Na⁺ ions.
The dissociaton equation for NaCl(aq) is:
- NaCl (aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + Cl⁻(aq)
The dissociation equation for CaCl₂ (aq) is:
- CaCl₂ (aq) → Ca²⁺ (aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)
A 0.10MCaCl₂ (aq) solution will have half the number of CaCl₂ units as the number of NaCl units in a 0.20M NaCl (aq) solution.
Thus, while the 0.20M NaCl (aq) solution yields 8 ions of Na⁺ and 8 ions of Cl⁻, the 0.10MCaCl₂ (aq) solution will yield 4 ions of Ca²⁺ (half because the concentration if half) and 8 ions of Cl⁻ (first take half and then multiply by 2 because the dissociation reaction).
Thus, your drawing must show 4 dots representing Ca²⁺ ions and 8 dots representing Cl⁻ ions in the box on the right.

The answer should be <span>balance electrically
</span><span>Chemical reactions that form ions should have a balanced charge. The example of the reaction is HCl. When forming ions, the equation should be:
HCl => </span>
+ 
In this case, the hydrogen has one plus charge and chlorine has one negative charge. The resultant should be zero, so it's balanced.
