1. Salt is KNO₃<span>
<span>This is a </span>strong acid - strong base<span> <span>reaction. </span></span>HNO</span>₃ is the strong acid<span> <span>and </span></span>KOH is the strong
base<span>. </span><span>
H</span>⁺<span> in the HNO₃<span>
and </span></span>OH⁻<span> <span>of the KOH pair up and make </span></span>H₂O(l)<span>. </span><span>
NO</span>₃⁻<span> <span>and </span></span>K⁺<span> <span>pair up to make </span></span>KNO₃ salt<span>. </span><span>
<span>When writing chemical formulas </span>positive ion comes first<span> <span>and second
is negative ion. The charges should be switched. Since </span></span>positive ion has +1 and negative
ion has -1<span> <span>after
the switching off charges </span>the </span>product should be KNO</span>₃.<span>
Balance
equation is </span><span>
HNO</span>₃<span>(aq) + KOH(aq) → H</span>₂O(l) + KNO<span>₃(aq)</span><span>
<span>
2. Salt is Ca(NO</span></span>₃)₂<span>
</span>This is a strong acid - strong
base<span> reaction. </span>HNO₃ is the strong acid<span> and </span>Ca(OH)₂ is the strong base<span>. </span><span>
<span>
H</span></span>⁺<span> in the HNO₃ and </span>OH⁻<span> of the Ca(OH)₂
pair up and make </span>H₂O(l)<span>. </span><span>
Ca²⁺
and </span>NO₃⁻<span> pair up to make </span>Ca(NO₃)₂ salt<span>. </span><span>
<span>
</span><span>Positive ion is </span>Ca²⁺<span>
which has </span></span>+2 charge<span> and negative ion is</span> NO₃⁻<span> <span>which has </span></span>-1 charge<span>. From switching the charges </span>Ca²⁺ gets 1<span> <span>while </span></span>NO₃⁻ gets 2.<span> Hence, the salt should be </span>Ca(NO₃)₂.<span>
Balanced equation
is
</span>2HNO₃<span>(aq) + Ca(OH)</span>₂<span>(aq) → 2H</span>₂O(l) + Ca(NO<span>₃)₂(aq)</span><span>
<span>
3. Salt is CaCl</span></span>₂<span>
This is a strong acid - strong base<span> reaction. </span>HCl is the
strong acid<span> and </span>Ca(OH)</span>₂ is the strong base<span>. </span><span>
<span>
H</span></span>⁺<span> in the HCl and </span>OH⁻<span> of the Ca(OH)₂
pair up and make </span>H₂O(l)<span>. </span><span>
Ca²⁺
and </span>Cl⁻<span> pair up to make </span>CaCl₂ salt<span>. </span><span>
<span>
</span><span>Positive ion is </span>Ca²⁺
which has </span>+2
charge<span> and negative ion is</span> Cl⁻<span> which has </span>-1
charge<span>. By switching the charges </span>Ca²⁺ gets 1<span> while </span>NO₃⁻ gets 2.<span> Hence, the salt should be </span>CaCl₂.<span>
Balance
equation is
</span><span>2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)</span>₂<span>(aq) → 2H</span>₂O(l) + CaCl₂<span>(aq)
4. Salt is KCl<span>
</span>This is a strong acid - strong base<span> reaction. </span>HCl is the
strong acid<span> and </span>KOH is
the strong base<span>. </span>
<span>
H</span></span>⁺<span> in the HCl and </span>OH⁻<span> of the KOH pair up and make </span>H₂O(l)<span>. </span><span>
K</span><span>⁺ and </span>Cl⁻<span> pair up to make </span>KCl salt<span>. </span><span>
<span>
</span><span>Positive ion is K</span></span><span>⁺ which has </span>+1
charge<span> and negative ion is</span> Cl⁻<span> which has </span>-1
charge<span>. By switching the charges </span>K⁺ gets 1<span> and </span>Cl⁻ also gets 1.<span> Hence, the salt should be </span>KCl.<span>
Balance
equation is
</span><span>HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → H</span>₂<span>O(l) + KCl(aq)</span>

<u>Answer:</u>
<u>For A:</u> The equation is
<u>For B:</u> The equation is
<u>For C:</u> The equation is
<u>Explanation:</u>
Alpha decay process is the process in which nucleus of an atom disintegrates into two particles. The first one which is the alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. This is also known as helium nucleus. The second particle is the daughter nuclei which is the original nucleus minus the alpha particle released.
Beta decay process is defined as the process the neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle. In this process, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei gets increased by a factor of 1 but the mass number remains the same.
<u>For A:</u> Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle
The nuclear equation for this process follows:
<u>For B:</u> Plutonium-239 emits an alpha particle
The nuclear equation for this process follows:
<u>For C:</u> Thorium-239 emits a beta particle
The nuclear equation for this process follows:
