Question

Write the precipitation reaction for calcium chloride in aqueous solution: Use the pull-down menus to specify the state of each reactant and product. CaCl2 + Is calcium chloride considered soluble or not soluble ? ... ... A. Soluble ... B. Not soluble

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is known that like dissolves like. So, water being a polar solvent is able to dissolve ionic compounds in it.

For example,
`CaCl_(2)` is an ionic compound as it's atoms contain a metal and a non-metal.

Therefore, the bond present present in it is an ionic bond. Hence, when it is dissolved in water then its reaction equation is as follows.

`CaCl_(2)(s) \rightarrow Ca^(2+)(aq) + 2Cl^(-)(aq)`

Thus, we can conclude that
`CaCl_(2)` is soluble.
