Question

Write a balance chemical equation for the addition of aqueous calcium chloride and lithium nitrate solutions. show the total ionic and net ionic equations

Answer 1

Balance equation

CaCl2(aq) + 2LiNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2LiCl(aq) .

The total ionic equation, the net charge is usually equal to zero.

Ca2+ + 2Cl- + 2Li+ + 2NO3- → 2LiCl + Ca2+ + 2NO3-

Net ionic equation

2Cl- + 2Li+ → 2LiCl

Step-by-step explanation:

Reactant are

Calcium chloride = CaCl2(aq)

Lithium nitrate = LiNO3(aq)

The chemical reaction can be represented as

CaCl2(aq) + LiNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + LiCl(aq) .

This reaction is an example of a double replacement reaction.

CaCl2(aq) + 2LiNO3(aq) → Ca(NO3)2(aq) + 2LiCl(aq) .

The equation is balanced .

The total ionic equation can be computed

The ionic charge of CaCl2 in solution is

CaCl2(aq) → Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)

ionic charge of LiNO3 in solution is

LiNO3(aq) → Li+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

The total ionic equation, the net charge is usually equal to zero.

Ca2+ + 2Cl- + 2Li+ + 2NO3- → 2LiCl + Ca2+ + 2NO3-

Net ionic equation

2Cl- + 2Li+ → 2LiCl

Answer 2

Answer : When we add the aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and lithium nitrate solutions the following reactions occur:


`CaCl _(2) + 2LiNO_(3) ----\ \textgreater \ 2LiCl + Ca(NO_(3)) _(2)`

This is a example of displacement reaction.

The total ionic equation of the reaction is :-


`Ca ^(+2) _((aq.))+2CL^(-) _((aq.)) +2Ag ^(+) _((aq.))+2NO _(3) ^(-) _((aq.))----\ \textgreater \`
`2 LiCl_((s))+ Ca ^(+2) _((aq.)) + 2NO _(3) ^(-) _((aq.))`

And the net ionic equation for
`2Cl ^(-) _((aq.)) + 2 Li^(+) _((aq.)) -----\ \textgreater \ 2LiCl _((s))` this reaction can be given by
