Answer:
Does a reaction occur when aqueous solutions of copper(II) nitrate and calcium chloride are combined?
Explanation:
The given reaction is an example of a chemical double displacement reaction.
The mutual interchange of the ions takes place.
The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:
[tex]Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+CaCl_2(aq) -> Ca(NO_3)_2(aq)+CuCl_2(aq)[/tex]
All the products formed are also highly soluble.
So, all the ions are spectator ions.
Hence, all will cancel with each other and ions remain in the net ionic equation and hence, the reaction does not take place.
