Question

Write a balance chemical equation for the addition of aqueous calcium chloride and lithium nitrate solutions. show the total ionic and net ionic equations

Answer 1

Answer : When we add the aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and lithium nitrate solutions the following reactions occur:

$CaCl _{2} + 2LiNO_{3} ----\ \textgreater \ 2LiCl + Ca(NO_{3}) _{2}$

This is a example of displacement reaction.

The total  ionic equation of the reaction is :-

$Ca ^{+2} _{(aq.)}+2CL^{-} _{(aq.)} +2Ag ^{+} _{(aq.)}+2NO _{3} ^{-} _{(aq.)}----\ \textgreater$$2 LiCl_{(s)}+ Ca ^{+2} _{(aq.)} + 2NO _{3} ^{-} _{(aq.)}$

And the net ionic equation for$2Cl ^{-} _{(aq.)} + 2 Li^{+} _{(aq.)} -----\ \textgreater \ 2LiCl _{(s)}$ this reaction can be given by

Answer 2

Answer:

Balance equation

CaCl2(aq) + 2LiNO3(aq)  → Ca(NO3)2(aq)  + 2LiCl(aq) .

The total ionic equation, the net charge is usually equal to zero.

Ca2+  + 2Cl-  +  2Li+  + 2NO3-  →   2LiCl   +  Ca2+   +  2NO3-

Net ionic equation

2Cl-  + 2Li+  → 2LiCl

Explanation:

Reactant are

Calcium chloride = CaCl2(aq)

Lithium nitrate = LiNO3(aq)

The chemical reaction can be represented as

CaCl2(aq)  + LiNO3(aq)  → Ca(NO3)2(aq)  + LiCl(aq) .

This reaction is an example of a double replacement reaction.

CaCl2(aq) + 2LiNO3(aq)  → Ca(NO3)2(aq)  + 2LiCl(aq) .

The equation is balanced .

The total ionic equation can be computed

The ionic charge of CaCl2 in solution is

CaCl2(aq) → Ca2+(aq)  +  2Cl-(aq)

ionic charge of LiNO3 in solution is

LiNO3(aq) → Li+(aq)   +   NO3-(aq)

The total ionic equation, the net charge is usually equal to zero.

Ca2+  +  2Cl-  +  2Li+  + 2NO3-  →   2LiCl   +  Ca2+   +  2NO3-

Net ionic equation

2Cl-  + 2Li+ → 2LiCl
