Answer 1

Part a

The balanced reaction

2 CsOH(aq) + H₂SO₄(aq) = Cs₂SO₄(aq) + 2 H₂O(l)

Molecular ionic reaction

2Cs+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + SO4(-2)(aq) = 2Cs+(aq) + SO4(-2)(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Part b

Net ionic reaction

2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) = 2H2O(l)

Part c

The balanced reaction

Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2CH3COOH(aq) = (CH3COO)2Ca(aq) + 2H2O (l)

Molecular ionic reaction

Ca2+(aq) + 2OH - (aq) + 2CH3COO- (aq) + 2H+(aq) = 2CH3COO- (aq) + Ca2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Part d

Net ionic reaction

2OH-(aq) + 2H+(aq) = 2H2O(l)
