Answer 1

The first equation has incorrect full ionic and net ionic equations. The second equation is correct in all aspects.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first equation, the balanced equation is correct. However, the full ionic equation and net ionic equation are not correct.

The correct full ionic equation for the first equation is:

Ca2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + 2Ni2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) → Ca2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) + 2Ni(OH)2(s)

The correct net ionic equation for the first equation is:

2OH-(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) → 2Cl-(aq) + 2OH-(aq)

In the second equation, all the equations including the balanced equation, full ionic equation, and net ionic equation are correct.
