Answer: B. Ca2+ + 2e- ---------> Ca

Explanation:

Reduction involves the gaining of electrons as well as a decrease in the oxidation state of the atom or ion.

In this case; Ca2+ gains two electrons and the oxidation state is reduced from +2 to 0.

Ca2+ + 2e- ---------> Ca

Write the balanced NET IONIC equation for the reaction that occurs when perchloric acid and calcium hypochlorite are combined. I

Elanso [62]

Answer:

$H^+(aq)+(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow HClO{(aq)}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since perchloric acid is HClO4 and is a strong acid and calcium hypochlorite is Ca(ClO)2, the undergoing molecular chemical reaction turns out:

$2HClO_4{(aq)}+Ca(ClO)_2{(aq)}\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}+Ca(ClO_4)_2{(aq)}$

Thus, since the resulting hypochlorous acid is weak, it does not fully ionize, so it remains unionized, however, we can write the ions for the other species:

$2H^++2(ClO_4)^-+Ca^{2+}+2(ClO)^-\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}+Ca^{2+}+2(ClO_4)^-$

Now, we can cancel out the spectator ions, calcium and perchlorate, to obtain:

$2H^+(aq)+2(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow 2HClO{(aq)}\\\\H^+(aq)+(ClO)^-(aq)\rightarrow HClO{(aq)}$

Best regards!
