CaCO3 + 2KCL ⇒ CaCl2 + K2CO3
It is balanced as so based on the charges given on the periodic table and polyatomic ions.
Calcium has the charge of 2 but CO3 also shares the same charge, thus cancelling that out.
Potassium has a charge of 1 while Chlorine also shares a charge of 1, also cancelling it out.
Thus, if it performs a double replacement reaction, they would take these charges to the new elements that do not cancel out their charges.
Therefore, we need the coefficient of 2 in front of Potassium Chloride in order to balance the equation as on the products side of the equation, Potassium and Chlorine both have a subscript of 2.
Hope this helps!
Evaporation is the change from a liquid to gas
Answer:-
Phosphorus
Explanation:-
In the third period among the elements given, phosphorus is at the most right side among them in the periodic table.
We know that as we go from left to right in the periodic table, the atomic size decreases due to the increase in nuclear charge.
Hence phosphorus is the smallest among them
