Gwar [14]

Answer:

NaCl neutral

Na₂SO₄ basic

NaHCO₃ basic

K₃PO₄ basic

Na₃C₆H₅O₇ basic

CaCl₂ neutral

Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water.

Oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water

Explanation:

<em>Identify each item as being acidic, basic, or neutral when dissolved in water. If a particular ingredient does make an acidic or basic solution, describe how this occurs.</em>

<em />

NaCl

When NaCl is dissolved in water the resulting solution is neutral.

Na₂SO₄

When Na₂SO₄ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the SO₄²⁻ ion.

SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HSO₄⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

NaHCO₃

When NaHCO₃ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the HCO₃⁻ ion.

HCO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂CO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

K₃PO₄

When K₃PO₄ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the PO₄³⁻ ion.

PO₄³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HPO₄²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Na₃C₆H₅O₇ (sodium citrate)

When Na₃C₆H₅O₇ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is basic due to the basic hydrolysis of the C₆H₅O₇³⁻ ion.

C₆H₅O₇³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ C₆H₆O₇²⁻(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

CaCl₂

When CaCl₂ is dissolved in water the resulting solution is neutral.

Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water according to the following equation:

Na₂C₂O₄(aq) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq)

Oxalic acid (C₂H₂O₄) dissolves and dissociates in water according to the following equation:

C₂H₂O₄(aq) ⇄ C₂HO₄⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)

Which notation represents the largest atomic radius?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Calcium(Ca)

Explanation:

  • Atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom the outermost energy shell or energy level.
  • The atomic radii of metals are greater than the ionic radii since metals form ions by losing electrons.
  • Calcium atom has a larger atomic radius compared to magnesium atom because it has more energy levels. Calcium atoms have four energy levels while magnesium atoms have three energy levels.

stealth61 [152]
If the refrigerator has no room to cool the meat that you've just cooked, then you should clear it with other stuff or food that has not been consumed for days. There might be some goods that are not good for consumption anymore even though it has been placed in the ref for a couple of days. Hope this answers your question.
