Problem
A student combines 50.0 mL of 0.20 M calcium chloride solution with 50.0 mL of 0.20 M sodium sulfate solution in a beaker at 25 °C. The mixture is stirred and allowed to stand for several minutes until the observable change is complete.
(a) Identify the macroscopic evidence that a chemical reaction has occurred when the two solutions are mixed.
(b) Write the balanced molecular equation for the reaction that occurs, including physical states.
(c) Write the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction.
(d) Calculate the maximum mass of the solid product that could be collected, assuming 100 % yield.
