Compare and contrast comets and meteors. What are the impacts each might have on Earth?

1 answer:

7 0

Comets are objects in the space that is composed mainly of dust and ice. While approaching the sun, a tail grows. Comets have nucleus which represents the hard rock object. As it nears the sun, it heats up the comet causing it to vaporize. Meteors, on the other hand, are what we call "shooting stars". They are interplanetary dusts that burn up as it approaches the Earth's atmosphere.

Answer:

1. AgNO₃ (aq) + NaCl (aq) ----> NaNO₃ (aq) + AgCl (s)

2. Li₂SO₄ (aq) + BaCl₂ (aq) ----> 2 LiCl (aq) + BaSO₄ (s)

3. 2 NaOH (aq) + MgCl₂ (aq) ----> 2 NaCl (aq) + Mg(OH)₂ (s)

Explanation:

The reaction involving the mixing of two soluble solutions to produce a precipitate is known as a precipitation reaction.

A precipitation reaction is double-replacement reaction (a reaction that exchanges the cations or the anions of two ionic compounds) in which one product is a solid precipitate.

Precipitation reactions at useful in the identification of various ions present in a solution. In order to predict the reactions that will produce a precipitate, solubility rules as given in the solubility table below can be used.

From the tables, the reactions that will produce a precipitate, as well as their balanced molecular equations are as follows:

1. AgNO₃ (aq) + NaCl (aq) ----> NaNO₃ (aq) + AgCl (s)

2. Li₂SO₄ (aq) + BaCl₂ (aq) ----> 2 LiCl (aq) + BaSO₄ (s)

3. 2 NaOH (aq) + MgCl₂ (aq) ----> 2 NaCl (aq) + Mg(OH)₂ (s)
