Question

Use the equation editor or "Insert Chemistry - WIRIS editor" to write the balanced molecular chemical equation for the reaction of aqueous 0.34 M copper (II) nitrate, with 0.70 M potassium carbonate. You may need to consult Appendix E to determine the states of each reactant and product. Assume any insoluble products are completely insoluble.

Answer 1

The balanced molecular equation for the reaction :

`Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+K_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow CuCO_3(s)+2KNO_3(aq)`

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction between copper(II) nitrate and potassium carbonate gives solid precipitate of copper(II) carbonate and aqueous solution of potassium nitrate.

`Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+K_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow CuCO_3(s)+2KNO_3(aq)`

According to reaction, 1 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 1 mole of potassium carbonate to give 1 mole of copper(II) carbonate and 2 moles of potassium nitrate,
