Answer:

Option C. Na⁺(aq) and Cl¯(aq)

Explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained the following:

Na₂SO₄(aq) + CaCl₂(aq) —> CaSO₄(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

Ionic Equation:

2Na⁺(aq) + SO₄²¯(aq) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq) —> CaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq)

From the ionic equation above, we can see that Na⁺(aq) and Cl¯(aq) are present on both side of the equation.

Therefore, Na⁺(aq) and Cl¯(aq) are the spectator ions because they did not participate directly in the reaction.

If I added 50 grams of salt to water and evaporated the solution with a hot plate, what amount of salt would be left behind?

hjlf

Any salt, even though it reacts with water, will precipitate out completely when the water is completely evaporated. If you start with 50 grams of salt, you will end up with 50 grams of salt.

Aluminum metal reacts with bromine, a red-brown liquid with a noxious odor. The reaction is vigorous and produces aluminum bromi

GuDViN [60]

Answer: The mass of bromine reacted is 160.6 grams.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium = 18.1 g

Molar mass of aluminium = 27 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of aluminium}=\frac{18.1g}{27g/mol}=0.670mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of aluminium and bromide follows:

$2Al+3Br_2\rightarrow 2AlBr_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium reacts with 3 moles of bromine gas

So, 0.670 moles of aluminium will react with = $\frac{3}{2}\times 0.670=1.005mol$ of bromine gas.

Now, calculating the mass of bromine gas, we use equation 1:

Moles of bromine gas = 1.005 moles

Molar mass of bromine gas = 159.81 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.005mol=\frac{\text{Mass of bromine}}{159.81g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of bromine}=(1.005mol\times 159.81g/mol)=160.6g$

Hence, the mass of bromine reacted is 160.6 grams.

Describe and explain the stages of making copper chloride crystals and acid.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Add excess copper carbonate to hydrochloric acid in a beaker, stirring until there is no further reaction. Filter the mixture to remove the remaining copper carbonate, then heat the remaining solution to the point of crystallisation. Leave the solution to cool and collect the crystals formed by filtration.
