The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Aqueous solutions of Na_{2}CO_{3} and Ca(NO_{3})_{2}, 0.10 M each, are combined. A white precipitate is observed in the container after mixing. he precipitate is filtered andcarefully rinsed with distilled water to remove other ions. A sample of the precipitate is added to 100 mL of 0.1 M NaCl. A second sample of the precipitate is then added to 100 mL of 0.1 M HCl. What would be observed in each case?

                 Observation upon                                         Observation upon

(A)     additional precipitates forms                        no visible reaction occurs

(B)     no visible reaction occurs                            gas is produced and some                                                                                        precipitate dissolves

(C)     no visible reaction occurs                             no visible reaction occurs

(D)     additional precipitates forms                       gas is produced and some

                                                                                    precipitate dissolves

Answer: (B) No visible reaction occurs; Gas is produced and some precipitate dissolves

Explanation: When aqueous solutions of Na_{2}CO_{3} and Ca(NO_{3})_{2} are combined, it reacts according to the following balanced equation:

Na_{2}CO_{3}+Ca(NO_{3})_{2} → CaCO_{3}_{(s)}+2NaNO_{3}_{(aq)}

forming calcium carbonate (CaCO_{3}), which, as it is insoluble in water, precipitates as a solid of the color white. This process is <u>Precipitation</u> and this reaction is a <u>Precipitation</u> <u>Reaction</u>.

When calcium carbonate reacts with NaCl it produces:

CaCO_{3}+2NaCl → CaCl_{2}+Na_{2}CO_{3}

Now, calcium chloride is an inorganic compound very soluble in water, so, in this reaction, there are no precipitate and <u>no visible reaction occurs</u>.

When CaCO_{3} reacts with hydrochloridric acid, the balanced reaction is

CaCO_{3}+2HCl → CaCl_{2}+H_{2}CO_{3}

which, also produces calcium chloride and carbonic acid.

Both are soluble in water but, when carbonic acid is in an "aqueous state", carbonic acid, it dissociates, forming carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, <u>gas is produced and some precipitate dissolves</u>.

In conclusion, sentence B is the correct alternative.

A pharmaceutical company claimed that experiments showed that its drug could effectively reduce the growth of cancer cells by 35
BaLLatris [955]

Answer :  The labs were unable to reproduce the pharmaceutical company’s data.

Explanation : Any scientific claim must have reproducible experimental data. In this case, when the pharmaceutical company has the claim of reducing the cancer growth cells by 35% then by using the same manufacturing procedure for the drug and lab should be able to get this result. But they failed to match up with the results which clearly indicates that the labs were not able to produce the same results and hence they concluded that the pharmaceutical company's claims were invalid.

Depending on the reaction, we could monitor the progress towards equilibrium by observing __________.
Alex Ar [27]

Depending on the reaction, we could monitor the progress towards equilibrium by observing the concentration of the reactant and the product are equal with time.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

Equilibrium is a stage of reaction in which the rate of forwarding reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction and equilibrium is stable at the reversible state of mode.

The concentration of reactant and product must also be equal or the same as the time then only it can be an equilibrium reaction.

Therefore equilibrium depends on the reaction, the concentration of the reactant and the product are equal with time.

How does a Camel prevent the loss of water from their body?​
Schach [20]

Camels lose less water through their urine and feces than many other mammals. Their kidneys concentrate water heavily, leading to salty urine. The intestines also reabsorb water from intestinal material as it is digested, so dry feces are produced.

Scientist can use trees to look at climates of the past. How? What information can they gather and how do they gather it? Explai
andrezito [222]

Explanation:

Scientist use trees a whole lot to look at climate of the past by examining tree rings.

These are layers of cambium in each successive years formed. They have an annual growth pattern and are known as tree rings.

Tree rings can be used to decipher the age of a tree.

  • These three rings can be used to interpret climatic patterns.
  • During a wet climate, the tree rings are more robust and bigger.
  • In a dry climate, the rings are thinner.
  • These alternating patterns can be used to decipher the climatic signatures in a tree.
  • Sometimes, it is possible to evaluate some certain isotopes that are useful in climatic studies.

The strength of an acid is affected by the polarity of the bond connected to the acidic hydrogen. The more highly polarized this
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxyacids are acid containing oxygen; they are also known as acid-alcohol or acid-phenol. As said earlier, the strength of these acids increases with increases in the polarity of these compounds. So, what makes the polarity is as a result of the electronegative substituents attached to it. Halogen family possesses the highest electronegativity in the periodic table, and electronegativity decreases down the group.

The ranking of the oxyacids in order of decreasing acid strength from strongest to weakest acid is:

HClO3 > . HClO2 > HClO > HBrO
