Answer:
- C. it is a strong acid since the blue litmus paper turns red and the pH is 1.7
Explanation:
As per table gastric juice has pH of 1.7 which is the strong acid. If you remember, 0-7 range determines acids and litmus paper confirms that by turning red.
So correct choice is C.
The oxidation half reaction of the reaction given above would be: Ca → Ca + 2e−. Oxidation is the loss of electrons of an element while its counterpart is called the reduction which gains the electrons that has been lost. Hope this answers the question.
Answer:
Ionic equation:
Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)
Balanced chemical equation:
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)
Ionic equation:
Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)
Net ionic equation:
OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) → H₂O(l)
The Cl⁻(aq) and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.
Spectator ions:
These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.
Answer:
it's an indicator that a chemical reaction occurred.
