I am pretty sure it is the first one. Since it is definitely not the second or last one.
Hope this helped!
The complete question is:
An aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate is allowed to react with an aqueous solution of calcium nitrate.
The net ionic equation contains which of the following species (when balanced in standard form)?
a. 2NO3-(aq)
b. Ca2+(aq)
Answer:
b. Ca2+(aq)
Ca2+ (aq) + SO4^2-(aq) --------------> CaSO4(s)
Explanation:
The overall ionic equation is:
Ca2+(aq) + 2NO3-(aq) + 2NH4+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) ---------------> CaSO4(s) + 2NH4NO3(aq)
The NO3- and NH4+ are spectator ions as they do not participate in the formation of the precipitate CaSO4.
The net ionic equation is:
Ca2+ (aq) + SO4^2-(aq) --------------> CaSO4(s)
The spectator ions form the soluble ammonium trioxonitrate V
Answer:
A. Soaps react with ions in hard water to create a precipitate.
B. Soaps are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic.
D. Soaps should be weakly alkaline in solution.
Explanation:
A. Hard water contains <u>magnesium and calcium minerals</u> like calcium and magnesium carbonates, sulfates and bicarbonates. As soon as these minerals come in contact with soap their ions like Mg²⁺ & Ca²⁺ form precipitates.
B. Soap are both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. They reason why they exhibit both the properties is really important for their functionality. The hydrophobic part of soap makes interaction with oil/dust particles while the hydrophilic part makes interaction with water. When the cloth is rinsed the dirt/soap particles are removed from the dirty clothes thereby making them clean.
C. Soaps have alkaline pH i.e. more than 7 that is why they have bitter taste.
