Please help! Thanks :D

1. Write a balanced chemical equation for each double replacement reaction that occurs.
Note: Compounds with Na+, K+, and/or NO3− are soluble.



2. Why was there no reaction in some of the wells? (See Introduction.)


3. How could you tell a Ca(NO3)2 solution from a Zn(NO3)2 solution?


4. How could you tell a Cu(NO3)2 solution from a Ni(NO3)2 solution?

Species shown in bold are precipitates.

  • Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
  • Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CaC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
  • Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KI → CuI₂ + 2 KI
  • Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Cu(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
  • Cu(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CuC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
  • Ni(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Ni(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
  • Ni(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → NiC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃
  • Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2 KOH → Zn(OH)₂ + 2 KNO₃
  • Zn(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → ZnC₂O₄ + 2 NaNO₃

A double replacement reaction takes place only if it reduces in the concentration of ions in the solution. For example, the reaction between Ca(NO₃)₂ and KOH produces Ca(OH)₂. Ca(OH)₂ barely dissolves. The reaction has removed Ca²⁺ and OH⁻ ions from the solution.

Some of the reactions lead to neither precipitates nor gases. They will not take place since they are not energetically favored.

Compare the first and last row:

Both Ca(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ react with KOH. However, between the two precipitates formed, Ca(OH)₂ is more soluble than Zn(OH)₂.

As a result, add the same amount of KOH to two Ca(NO₃)₂ and Zn(NO₃)₂ of equal concentration. The solution that end up with more precipitate shall belong to Zn(NO₃)₂.

Compare the second and third row:

Cu(NO₃)₂ reacts with KI, but Ni(NO₃)₂ does not. Thus, add equal amount of KI to the two unknowns. The solution that forms precipitate shall belong to Cu(NO₃)₂.
