Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Ca(NO₃)₂ + KI → CaI + K(NO₃)₂

This equation is incorrect.

When Ca⁺⁺ reacts with I⁻, final product is CaI₂

And when K⁺ react with NO₃⁻, final product is KNO₃

Hence the equation will be,

Ca(NO₃)₂ + KI → CaI₂ + KNO₃

Now we have to balance this equation.

Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2KI → CaI₂ + KNO₃

Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2KI → CaI₂ + 2KNO₃

2). Ca(NO₃)₂ + KOH → CaOH + K(NO₃)₂

This equation is incorrect,

Since the reaction of Ca⁺⁺ with OH⁻ gives the final product Ca(OH)₂

And final product of K⁺ and NO₃⁻ is KNO₃

Therefore, the equation will be,

Ca(NO₃)₂ + KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + KNO₃

Now we will balance this equation by changing the coefficients of the molecules until the number of atoms on both the sides become equal.

Ca(NO₃)₂ + KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2KNO₃

Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2KOH → Ca(OH)₂ + 2KNO₃

3). Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CaC₂O₄ + 2Na(NO₃)₂

This equation is incorrect,

Since the reaction of Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ gives the final product NaNO₃.

Therefore, the correct equation will be,

Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂C₂O₄ → CaC₂O₄ + 2NaNO₃

This equation is in the balanced form.
