Answer:

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) -> 2AgCl(s)

Silver nitrate and calcium chloride will react in a double displacement reaction (which has to produce a precipitate, a gas, or water to have a reaction).

This reaction will produce a silver chloride precipitate and a solution of calcium nitrate.

The reaction will be 2AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) -> 2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq)

To write a net ionic equation:

1. Write the balanced molecular equation.

  2AgNO3 + CaCl2 -> 2AgCl(ppt) + Ca(NO3)2

2. Write the balanced complete ionic equation.

To write the complete ionic equation:

- Start with a balanced molecular equation.

2AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2(aq) -> 2AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq)

- Break all soluble strong electrolytes (compounds with (aq) beside them) into their ions

      indicate the correct formula and charge of each ion

      indicate the correct number of each ion

      write (aq) after each ion

- Bring down all compounds with (s), (l), or (g) unchanged.

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2NO³⁻(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) -> 2AgCl(s) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2NO³⁻(aq)

3. Cross out the spectator ions that are present. Spectator ions are ions that are present in the reaction mixture but do not participate in it. You can recognize spectator ions by looking for ions that are present on both sides of the equation.

4. Write the "leftovers" as the net ionic equation.

<em>2Ag⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) -> 2AgCl(s)</em>

<span>I believe that the pattern that would be expected is both 14 N and 15 N, this is because the DNA was replicated in a conservative manner. Semi conservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand, while Conservative replication would leave the two original template DNA strands together in a double helix and would produce a copy composed of two new strands containing all of the new DNA base pairs</span>

You water three sunflower plants with salt water. Each plant receives a different concentration of salt solutions. A fourth plan
Kruka [31]

Answer:

The fourth plant that receives pure water is the control group.

Explanation:

The election of a control group is essential in an experiment. Its principal purpose is to allow the discrimination of the results obtained by the treatment in the study, in this case, <em>the different concentrations of salty water that each plant receives</em>. The control group provides a reference point. It must be selected from the same population of the treatment groups. Both groups must be similar in every variable that might influence the results, <u>except for the study treatment.</u>
