Convert each compound name into its chemical formula, then balance the equation. 1. aluminum chloride + calcium hydroxide  aluminum hydroxide + calcium chloride

2AlCl3 + 3Ca(OH)2 --> 2Al(OH)3 + 3CaCl2

Explanation:

aluminum chloride + calcium hydroxide --> aluminum hydroxide + calcium chloride

AlCl3 + Ca(OH)2 --> Al(OH)3 + CaCl2

Note: Al forms an ion of charge +3, Cl forms ion of charge -1, OH forms ion of -1, and Ca forms ions of charge +2. So when you combine 2 of these into ions, (must be one positive, one negative for ionic compounds), make sure the net charge at the end =0.

For example, Al ions have a charge of +3, so it needs 3 Cl- ions to eliminate the negative charge, so aluminium chloride is AlCl3.

Now balance the equation. make sure both sides have the equal no. of ions.

start with Cl. the reactant side has 3 Cl ions, while the product side has 2. So, the lowest common multiple is 6. Multiply AlCl3 by 2, and CaCl2 by 3 to get 6 Cl ions on each side.

2AlCl3 + Ca(OH)2 --> Al(OH)3 + 3CaCl2

Now the reactant side has 2 Al ions. So, multiply the Al(OH)3 on the product side by 2 to balance out Al ions.

2AlCl3 + Ca(OH)2 --> 2Al(OH)3 + 3CaCl2

Finally, the product side has 6 OH- ions, so multiply 3 on Ca(OH)2 from the reactant side to balance out the OH- ions.

2AlCl3 + 3Ca(OH)2 --> 2Al(OH)3 + 3CaCl2

Recount the ions to make sure it is correctly balanced! :)

water   molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.

they are made of gases.

they have a spherical shape.

they make energy through fusion.
