Loss of an electron is oxidation!
Answer:
C a B r 2 ( a q ) + N a 2 S O 4 ( a q ) ⟶ 2 N a B r ( a q ) + C a S O 4 ( s )
Explanation:
A precipitation reaction is a type of displacement reaction which a precipitate forms. The precipitate would be in the solid state, different from the other products so it can be separated or removed from the reaction.
C a 2 + ( a q ) + S O 4 2 − ( a q ) ⟶ C a S O 4 ( s )
This is wrong because C a S O 4 is the the only product formed.
C a B r 2 ( a q ) + N a 2 S O 4 ( a q ) ⟶ 2 N a B r ( a q ) + C a S O 4 ( s )
This is the correct option, The precipitate is C a S O 4.
C a 2 + ( a q ) + 2 B r − ( a q ) + 2 N a + ( a q ) + S O 4 2 − ( a q ) ⟶ 2 N a + ( a q ) + 2 B r − ( a q ) + C a S O 4 ( s )
This is the ionic equation for the precipitation reaction
Ca<span>2+</span> is less electro-positive than Mg2+. Therefore, CaO is less ionic than MgO. and in turn means that the O in CaO is more like O<span>2<span>– will react with H in H2O more so than O2- of MgO, because it is more ionic means O is strongly bonded to Mg compare to Ca</span></span>
