Answer:
When plastics decomposed, they produce methane gas, which contributes to global warming (not questioning beliefs on the matter). Plastic debris also is an issue affecting the ecology of an environment and can cause issues for the affected organisms. But the greenhouse gases released from biodegradable plastics is likely a greater concern.
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>
Yeas, the reaction is balanced
