Answer:

Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) => Cu(OH)2(s)

Explanation:

Use of aqueous sodium hydroxide is a precipitation reaction to test for anions or cations. Aqueous sodium hydroxide in a precipitate test forms a insoluble precipitates along with some colors characteristics.

Aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) when mixed with copper(II) (Cu2+) forms a blue precipitate. The formula is as follows:

Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) => Cu(OH)2(s)

lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

Fertilizers are chemically synthesized plant nutrients.

Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) are macronutrients and are required in large amounts by plants. So, farmers use fertilizers in order to supply these nutrients. NPK 15:15:15 , NPK 20:20:20, NPK 15:30:15 are examples of fertilizers used to supply N, P, K to crops.

Answer:

4) transferred from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another atom

Explanation:

Electrons are located outside of the nucleus which contains the protons and the neutrons.

For bonds to form, valence electrons located in the outermost shell electrons are involved. These are the valence electrons. These outer shell electrons can be shared or transferred between two combining atoms to form stable atoms.

In ionic bonds, the electrons are transferred from one specie to another. The atom that loses the electrons becomes positively charged and the receiving atom becomes negatively charged. This is the crux of ionic bonds.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Two moles of HC2H3O2 react with one mole of Ca(OH)2 to produce one mole of calcium acetate and two moles of water.

Explanation:

HC2H3O2 is Acetic acid that can also be represented as (CH3COOH).

when Ca(OH)2 reacts with Acetic acid the product formed will be Calcium acetate and water

Chemically the reaction can be represented as

2CH 3 COOH + Ca(OH) 2 → Ca(CH 3 COO) 2 + 2H 2 O

Two moles of CH3COOH react with one mole of Ca(OH)2 to produce one mole of Ca(CH3COO)2 and two moles of H2O.

Predict the most likely bond type for the following.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The three major types of bond are ionic, polar covalent, and covalent bonds. Ionic occurs majorly between metals and non-metals, which allows sharing of electrons to form an ionic compound. Whereas covalent bonding calls for complete transfer of electrons between atoms. Polar covalent bonds have unequaly shared electron-pair between two atoms.

Explanation:

a. Cu (Copper)- ionic bonding 

b. KCl (Potassium Chloride) - ionic bonding 

c. Si (Silicon) - covalent bonding 

d. CdTe (Cadmium Telluride) - polar covalent bonding 

e. ZnTe (Zinc Telluride)- polar covalent bonding
