Answer:
Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)
Explanation:
In chemistry, the net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction whereas you write only the ions that are involved in the reaction.
When calcium chloride, CaCl₂ reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce Ca(OH)₂ the only ions involved in the reaction are Ca²⁺ and OH⁻, thus, the balanced net ionic equation is:
<em>Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)</em>
<em>Cl⁻ and Na⁺ are not involved in the reaction and you don't have to write them.</em>
Uses of isotopes:
In agriculture,
C-14 is used to trace the path of photosynthesis.
In medicine,
Iodine -131 is used in the treatment of
goiter
<u>Answer:</u> Group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.
If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions. <u>For Example:</u> Fluorine is a Group 17 element which gains 1 electron to form
ions.
If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations. <u>For Example:</u> Sodium is a Group 1 element which looses 1 electron to form
ions.
Hence, group 1 ions are known as cations and Group 17 ions are known as anions.
