For the following reaction in aqueous solution, identify all those species that will be spectator ions. Select all that apply.

uranmaximum [27]

The reaction is incorrect. The correct reaction is: Na₂SO₄ + Hg(NO₃)₂ → HgSO₄ + 2NaNO₃. The options are:

A. Hg₂SO₄

B. Na₂SO₄

C. Na⁺

D. NO₃⁻

E. SO₄⁻²

F. Hg₂(NO₃)₂

G. NaNO₃

H. Hg⁺²

Answer:

C, D, E, H

Explanation:

The ions are formed after dissociation of the compound in the solution. When they're negatively charged, they're called anions, when they're negatively charged, they're called cations. If the ion is presented on both sides of the reaction, it is called a spectator ion.

Thus, the reaction given:

Na₂SO₄ + Hg(NO₃)₂ → HgSO₄ + 2NaNO₃

So, let's do the dissociation.

Na₂SO₄ is formed by the ions Na⁺ and SO₄⁻²;

Hg(NO₃)₂ is formed by the ions Hg⁺² and NO₃⁻;

HgSO₄ is formed by the ions Hg⁺² and SO₄⁻²;

NaNO₃ is formed by the ions Na⁺ and NO₃⁻.

Thus, the spectator ions are Na⁺, SO₄⁻², Hg⁺², and NO₃⁻.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:Free radical mono-halogenation of an alkane is typically conducted using bromine versus chlorine because the bromine radical is less reactive and therefore more selective.

Explanation: Halogenation occurs when a halogen replaces one or more hydrogen atoms in an organic compound ie chlorine or bromine with the reactivity of the halogens decreasing in the order of F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2

Since fluorine reacts explosively making it is difficult to control, and iodine is unreactive. Free radical mono-halogenation of an alkane is typically conducted using bromine versus chlorine with Chlorination ie chlorine radical being more reactive and not selective and the Bromination of alkanes ie bromine radical occurring similarly but slower and less reactive but more selective which is due to the fact that a bromine atom is less reactive in the hydrogen abstraction than a chlorine atom evidence in the higher bond energy of H-Cl than H-Br.
