Answer:

The formation of magnesium carbonate in the form of a precipitate and sodium sulfate as a byproduct takes place.

Explanation:

When a drop of sodium carbonate is mixed with the magnesium sulfate, the formation of MgCO3, magnesium carbonate as a precipitate, and Na2SO4, sodium sulfate as a byproduct takes place. One can separate magnesium carbonate from the sodium sulfate by using the process of filtration. The chemical reaction that takes place in the process is:

MgSO4 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) ⇒ MgCO3 (s) + Na2SO4 (aq)

A separation process in which the formation of solid takes place in a solution after undergoing a chemical reaction is termed as precipitation. The precipitate is the name given to the solid substance that gets produced in the reaction. The precipitate formed can be withdrawn from the solution with the help of a physical separation procedure like filtration.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

6 oxygens on the product side

Explanation:

1) balance the equation:

C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O

2) calculate the number of oxygens on the product side

2CO2=4

2H2O=2

A voltaic cell has a zinc anode and a copper cathode. They are connected by a wire but no salt bridge. What can you predict will

Allisa [31]

The prediction is that B. The electrons will flow to the zinc anode where a negative charge will build up and eventually halt the reaction.

This is known as a chemical element, of the periodic table, that is essential to life and is one of the most widely used metals. Zinc is of considerable commercial importance.

Without the salt bridge, positive and negative charges will build up around the electrodes causing the reaction to stop.

Hence, we know that the purpose of the salt bridge is to keep the solutions electrically neutral and allow the free flow of ions from one cell to another.

What is the net charge of C

sashaice [31]

Explanation:

Sorry, I don't know, but I can tell you that when an atom, or a body, has the same amount of positive charges (protons) and negative charges (electrons), it is said to be electrically neutral. ... The net charge corresponds to the algebraic sum of all the charges that a body possesses.
