What might you expect to observe from this double-displacement reaction: CoCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) ---> CoSO4 + 2NaCl?

To decide the outcome of this reaction, we need to know the state of the products, as in if they are solid, liquid, gaseous, aqueous, etc. The proper reaction is as follows:

CoCl₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) → CoSO₄ (aq) + 2NaCl (aq)

If we were to look up the species CoSO₄ and NaCl, we would find that both of these species are also aqueous. Therefore, neither CoSO₄ or NaCl will precipitate from the solution, so we can ignore options A and B. Neither species formed is gaseous either, therefore, it cannot be option C. That leaves us with option D as the answer.

D is the correct answer because the product of the double displacement is the formation of two more aqueous species which will remain dissociated in the aqueous solution leading to no chemical reaction overall.

In your own words, explain how/why precipitates form. Also explain what spectator ions are.
Andrej [43]

A precipitate is a product of a reaction that is insoluble in the reaction medium (usually water).

Why?

One of the signs that a reaction happened is that a precipitate forms. Let's take the reaction between Silver Nitrate (AgNO₃) and Sodium Chloride (NaCl) as an example:

AgNO₃(aq) + NaCl(aq) → AgCl(s)↓ + NaNO₃(aq)

In this reaction, Silver Chloride (AgCl) is an insoluble product of the reaction, and precipitates out of the reaction medium

If we write down the ionic equation, we find out the following:

Ag⁺ + NO₃⁻ + Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → AgCl(s) + Na⁺ + NO₃⁻

The ions that appear at both sides of the arrow are called spectator ions, since they are not directly involved in the process of the reaction, making the net ionic equation to be:

Ag⁺ + NO₃⁻ → AgCl(s)

Have a nice day!

Use the chart to determine which type of bond is formed between potassium (K) and chlorine (Cl).
iris [78.8K]
Potassium and Chloride forms an ionic bond.
(K+) + (Cl-) = KCl

Potassium is under Group IA (Alkali Metal), wherein elements under this group can easily lose electrons.

Chlorine is under Group VII (Halogens), in which these elements can gain electrons easily.

The inner shell electrons on potassium will merge with the outer shell of electrons of chlorine to make potassium chloride.
