Question

complete and balance the following molecular equation. cu(oh)2(s) + hclo4(aq)→ express your answer as a balanced chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. part d write the net ionic equation for it. express your answer as a balanced net ionic equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. a chemical reaction does not occur for this question.

Explanation:

Step1: Write the molecular equation

$Cu(OH)_2(s)+2HClO_4(aq)
ightarrow Cu(ClO_4)_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l)$

Step2: Write the total - ionic equation

$Cu(OH)_2(s)+2H^+(aq)+2ClO_4^-(aq)
ightarrow Cu^{2 +}(aq)+2ClO_4^-(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

Step3: Write the net - ionic equation

$Cu(OH)_2(s)+2H^+(aq)
ightarrow Cu^{2 +}(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

Answer:

Molecular equation: $Cu(OH)_2(s)+2HClO_4(aq)
ightarrow Cu(ClO_4)_2(aq) + 2H_2O(l)$
Net - ionic equation: $Cu(OH)_2(s)+2H^+(aq)
ightarrow Cu^{2 +}(aq)+2H_2O(l)$
