Answer:

Explanation:

If the reaction is really exothermic (and it is) then the water would spatter all over the place. It would boil off if the container could hold it. It would also react according to the following reaction.

You are talking about a reaction like

2K + 2HOH = 2KOH + H2

Answer:

Ca(OH)2 will not precipitate because Q<Ksp

Explanation:

Ksp for Ca(OH)2 has already been stated in the question as 8.0 x 10-8mol2dm-6

The value of the reaction quotient depends heavily on the concentration of the reactants. As the initial concentration of the calcium carbide decreases considerably, the reaction quotient decreases until Q<Ksp hence the Ca(OH)2 will not precipitate from solution.

The reaction equation is:

CaC₂(s) + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

From

Ca(OH)2= Ca2+ + 2OH-

Concentration of solution= 0.064×1/64= 1×10-3

Since [Ca2+] = 1×10-3

[OH-]= (2×10-3)^2= 4×10^-6

Hence Q= 4×10^-9

This is less than the Ksp hence the answer.

Alice added sodium chloride to water and stirred the water for several minutes. Alice is most likely trying to demonstrate that
SashulF [63]

Answer is: 2. can dissolve.

Ionic compounds separates into particles (ions) in water because of their ionic bond.

For example sodium chloride is ionic compound and strong electrolyte and dissociates in water on hydrated sodium cations and chlorine anions:

NaCl(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

Ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions).

PLEASE HELP!!!!! And thanks in advance
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce. The circulatory system picks up oxygen in the lungs and drops it off in the tissues, then performs the reverse service for carbon dioxide.
