AP Writing Equation Question
For each of the following three reactions, write a balanced equation for the reaction in part (i) and answer the question about the reaction in part (ii). In part (i), coefficients should be in terms of lowest whole numbers. Assume that solutions are aqueous unless otherwise indicated. Represent substances in solutions as ions if the substances are extensively ionized. Omit formulas for any ions or molecules that are unchanged by the reaction. You may use the empty space at the bottom of the next page for scratch work, but only equations that are written in the answer boxes provided will be scored.
(c) A 100 mL sample of 1 M strontium chloride
solution is mixed with a 100 mL sample of 1 M sodium carbonate solution,
resulting in the formation of a precipitate.
(i) Balanced
equation:
(ii) Describe what will occur if the precipitate is dried and a few drops of 1 M hydrochloric acid are added. Explain.
