<span><span>K_2</span>C<span>O_3</span>(aq)+Ca(N<span>O_3</span><span>)_2</span>(aq)→ ?</span>
If we break these two reactants up into their respective ions, we get...<span><span>
K^+ </span>+ C<span>O^2_3 </span>+ C<span>a^<span>2+ </span></span>+ N<span>O_−3</span></span>
If we combine the anion of one reactant with the cation of the other and vice-versa, we get...<span>
CaC<span>O_3 </span>+ KN<span>O_3</span></span>

Now we need to ask ourselves if either of these is soluble in water. Based on solubility rules, we know that all nitrates are soluble, so the potassium nitrate is. Alternatively, we know that all carbonates are insoluble except those of sodium, potassium, and ammonium; therefore, this calcium carbonate is insoluble. This is good. It means we have a driving force for the reaction! That driving force is that a precipitate will form. In such a case, a precipitation reaction will occur, and the total equation will be...<span><span>
K_2</span>C<span>O_3</span>(aq) + Ca(N<span>O_3</span><span>)_2</span>(aq) → CaC<span>O_3</span>(s) + 2KN<span>O_3</span>(aq)</span>

To determine the net ionic equation, we need to remove all ions that appear on both sides of the equation in aqueous solution -- these ions are called spectator ions, and do not actually undergo any chemical reaction. To determine the net ionic equation, let's first rewrite the equation in terms of ions...
2K^+(aq) + CO_3^{2-}(aq) + Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2NO_3^{-}(aq) → Ca^{2+}(s) + CO_3^{2-}(s) + 2K^+(aq) + 2NO_3^-(aq)

The species that appear in aqueous solution on both sides of the equation (spectator ions) are... <span>
2K^+,NO_3^-</span>
If we remove these spectator ions from the total equation, we will get the net ionic equation...
CO_3^{2-}(aq) + Ca^{2+}(aq) <span>→</span> CaCO_3(s)

PolarNik [594]

Explanation:

The grey powder of silver ( I ) oxide i.e.  Ag₂O  breaks down to give a metal called the silver metal and an odorless , colorless gas , which is the oxygen gas .

The balanced chemical reaction is as follows -

Silver oxide ----->  Silver + oxygen

Ag₂O   ------>   Ag  (s)  +  O₂  (g)

The balanced reaction is -

2 Ag₂O (s)  ------>  4 Ag  (s)  +  O₂  (g)

What happens when burning matchstick is held near the nitrogen gas jar​
NARA [144]

Answer:

The oxygen produced is collected in the gas jar by downward displacement of water. When we insert the glowing matchstick in the jar containing the oxygen gas ,it burns with a bright light which proves that gas is oxygen because oxygen is supporter of combustion.

What is the [H+] concentration of a solution with a pH of 3.78
lianna [129]

Answer:

[H+] = 1.66 x 10^{-4}

Explanation:

To find the [H+] concentration of a solution, we can use the formula:

[H+] = 10^{-pH}

Let's plug in the pH.

[H+] = 10^{-3.78}

Evaluate the exponent.

[H+] = 1.66 x 10^{-4}

Hope this helps!

Which is an example of practical pursuit of alchemy
Oduvanchick [21]
A practical pursuit of alchemy was the development of metallurgy practices. As alchemists always tried to turn various metals into other things, metalworking techniques were developed even though their experiments were often unsuccessful.
