Question

Write balanced complete ionic equation for

CaS(aq) + CaCl2 (aq) –> CdS(s) + CaCl2 (aq).

Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ca²⁺(aq) + S²⁺(aq) + Cd²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq) —> CdS (s) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq)

Explanation:

CaS (aq) + CdCl₂ (aq) –> CdS (s) + CaCl₂ (aq)

The complete ionic equation for the above reaction can be obtained as illustrated below:

In solution:

CaS (aq) —> Ca²⁺(aq) + S²⁺(aq)

CdCl₂ (aq) —> Cd²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq)

CaS (aq) + CdCl₂ (aq) –>

Ca²⁺(aq) + S²⁺(aq) + Cd²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq) —> CdS (s) + Ca²⁺(aq) + 2Cl¯(aq)
