Complete and balance the molecular equation for the reaction of aqueous sodium carbonate, Na 2 CO 3 Na2CO3 , and aqueous nickel(

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: The net ionic equation is written below.

Explanation:

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of sodium carbonate and nickel (II) chloride is given as:

$Na_2CO_3(aq.)+NiCl_2(aq.)\rightarrow 2NaCl(aq.)+NiCO_3(s)$

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

$2Na^{+}(aq.)+CO_3^{2-}(aq.)+Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2Cl^{-}(aq.)\rightarrow NiCO_3(s)+2Na^+(aq.)+2Cl^-(aq.)$

As, sodium and chloride ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

$Ni^{2+}(aq.)+CO_3^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow NiCO_3(s)$

Hence, the net ionic equation is written above.

If cells in the process of dividing are subjected to colchicine, a drug that interferes with the formation of the spindle appara

Orlov [11]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) anaphase

B) prophase

C) telophase

D) metaphase

E) interphase

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

Colchicine is a drug obtained from the Colchicum autumnale which is a poisonous European flowering plant. The drug is used to treat joint swelling and gout.

Colchicine shows its effect during the cell division cycle especially during the division of nuclear content. When the cell is in metaphase and is preparing for the anaphase, the colchicine inhibits the polymerisation of the microtubules. The inhibition of microtubules inhibits the assembly of the mitotic spindle as a result of this the DNA do not move into new daughter cells.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.
