What are the products in the following double-displacement reaction?
CaCl2 + Na2CO3 

A. 

CaCO3 + 2NaCl

B. 

Na2 + CaCO3 + Cl2

C. 

CaO3 + 2NaCl + C

D. 

CaO3 + Na2CCl2

E. 

CaO2 + 2NaCl(CO)

Respuesta :

The answer is A: CaCO3 + 2NaCl

Answer:

The products in the following double displacement reaction is [tex]CaCO_{3}+2NaCl[/tex]

Explanation:

Ina double displacement reaction, cations and anions of two ionic species exchange their partners, forming new compounds.

Here ([tex]Ca^{2+}and Cl^{-}[/tex]) and ([tex]Na^{+}and CO_{3}^{2-}[/tex]) are two different ionic pairs. Reaction between these two pairs resulting exchange of ionic species between them. Hence [tex]CaCO_{3}and NaCl[/tex] are formed as products of the given reaction.

[tex]CaCl_{2}+Na_{2}CO_{3}\rightarrow CaCO_{3}+2NaCl[/tex]
