Which of the following statements are true for the reaction?

Question

Ca(OH)2(aq) + HCl(aq) -->




a) Water is a product

b) When balanced the coefficient of HCl(aq) is 2

c) Only ions appear in the net ionic equation

d) OH-(aq) does not appear in the net ionic equation

e) Cl -(aq) does not appear in the net ionic equation

Answer 1

The balanced equation is Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2(HCl)(aq) --> CaCl2(s, I think) + 2(H2O). The net ionic equation is Ca2+ + 2Cl- + 2H+ + 2OH- --> CaCl2 + 2H2O. So the true statements are: a and b.

Answer 2

a

Answer 3

e
