Answer:

Here's what I think  

Explanation:

They wanted you to understand that, to a geologist, the stripes on the rock are like the pages of an encyclopedia of information.

You start reading and getting information from page 1 of an encyclopedia, then go on to the next page, and so on.

In the same way, the lowest layer of stripes is the oldest and gives information on the earliest geological period. The layer above it gives you information on the next period, and so on.

Enter the net ionic equation for this reaction. Express your answer as a net ionic equation. Identify all of the phases in your
Lisa [10]

Answer:

2H+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2HCl(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq) → 2H2O(l)+CaCl2(aq)

This equation is balanced, we do not have the change any coefficients.

Step 2: The netionic equation

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will.

2H+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

After canceling those spectator ions in both side, look like this:

2H+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → 2H2O(l)
