Write the balanced equation for the process when CuCl2 (aq) and Na2CO3(aq) are mixed

CuCl2 (aq) and
Na2CO3(aq)


CuCl2 (aq) + Na2CO3(aq)
--->


this solution would be a double replacement, in
order to do this right you much know the charges of each
element:


Cu (+2) Cl(-1) (aq) + Na (+1) CO3(-2)
(aq)


now you proceed to replace all the cations: (make sure
to remember the charges)


CuCO3 (the charges cancel out
because they both have a charge of
2)


NaCl


so 


CuCl2
(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) ---> CuCO3 + NaCl


now balance out
the equation:


CuCl2 (aq) + Na2CO3(aq) ---> CuCO3 +
2NaCl

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
