Answer:
Because a molecule, by definition, has a valence of zero
(neutral charge, stable). Also by definition, an ion has a positive
or negative charge or valence and is not stable.
Explanation:
Answer:
The products are: KCl03 and H20.
Explanation:
The reaction between HC03 (chloric acid) and KOH (potassium hydroxide) is:
HC03 + KOH ----> KCl03 (KCl03 and H20) + H20 (water)
<em></em>
<em>The reaction is of the double displacement type (in this case parts of the reagents are exchanged, producing two generating new compounds).</em>
Q or the Reaction Quotient is the interaction between the reactants and products in a given chemical reaction. The value of Q should be compared to the value of K (which is the value of the reaction at equilibrium) in order to determine which way the reaction should move to achieve equilibrium.If Q is already equal to K, then this indicates that the reaction is in equilibrium. If Q>K, then the reactants are converted to products; If Q<K, then the products are converted to reactants. Either way, the reaction proceeds to move towards equilibrium after some time.
