Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4). Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → CaSO₄ + 2Na(NO₃)₂

This question is incorrect.

Since, the final product by reacting Na⁺⁺ and NO₃⁻⁻ is NaNO₃

Correct equation will be,

Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → CaSO₄ + 2NaNO₃

This equation is in the balanced form.

5). Ni(NO₃)₂ + KI → NiI + 2K(NO₃)₂

Correct equation will be,

Ni(NO₃)₂ + KI → NiI₂ + 2KNO₃

[Since final product by reacting Ni⁺⁺ and I⁻ is NiI₂]

Balanced form of this equation will be,

Ni(NO₃)₂ + 2KI → NiI₂ + 2KNO₃

6). Ni(NO₃)₂ + KOH → NiOH + K(NO₃)₂

Correct form of the equation will be

Ni(NO₃)₂ + KOH → Ni(OH)₂ + KNO₃

[Since reaction of Ni⁺⁺ and OH⁻ gives Ni(OH)₂ and the reaction of K⁺ and NO₃⁻ gives KNO₃]

Now balancing this equation,

Ni(NO₃)₂ + KOH → Ni(OH)₂ + 2KNO₃

Ni(NO₃)₂ + 2KOH → Ni(OH)₂ + 2KNO₃
