What is the net ionic equation for 2AgNO3 + 2NaOH = Ag2O + 2NaNO3 + H2O

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + H₂O (l)

Explanation:

Step 1: RxN

2AgNO₃ + 2NaOH → Ag₂O + 2NaNO₃ + H₂O

Step 2: Define states of matter

2AgNO₃ (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + 2NaNO₃ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Step 3: Total Ionic Equation

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2NO₃⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l)

Step 4: Cancel out spectator ions

2Ag⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → Ag₂O (s) + H₂O (l)

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.
