Prepare 2 test tubes with approximately 5 ml of dilute Cu(II) chloride solution in each
Prepare 1 test tube with 5 ml sodium carbonate solution
Prepare 1 test tube with 5 ml sodium sulphate solution
Carefully pour the sodium carbonate solution into one of the test tubes containing copper(II) chloride and observe what happens
Carefully pour the sodium sulphate solution into the second test tube containing copper(II) chloride and observe what happens
Results:
A light blue precipitate forms when sodium carbonate reacts with copper(II) chloride
No precipitate forms when sodium sulphate reacts with copper(II) chloride
It is important to understand what happened in the previous demonstration. We will look at what happens in each reaction, step by step.
Reaction 1: Sodium carbonate reacts with copper(II) chloride.
When these compounds react, a number of ions are present in solution: Cu
2+ , Cl
, Na
+ and CO
32
.
Because there are lots of ions in solution, they will collide with each other and may recombine in different ways. The product that forms may be insoluble, in which case a precipitate will form, or the product will be soluble, in which case the ions will go back into solution. Let's see how the ions in this example could have combined with each other:
Cu
2+ + CO
32
CuCO
3 Cu
2+ + 2Cl
CuCl
2 Na
+ + Cl
NaCl
Na
+ + CO
32
Na
2 CO
3 You can automatically exclude the reactions where sodium carbonate and copper(II) chloride are the products because these were the initial reactants. You also know that sodium chloride (NaCl) is soluble in water, so the remaining product (copper carbonate) must be the one that is insoluble. It is also possible to look up which salts are soluble and which are insoluble. If you do this, you will find that most carbonates are insoluble, therefore the precipitate that forms in this reaction must be CuCO
. The reaction that has taken place between the ions in solution is as follows:
2Na
+ + CO
32
+ Cu
2+ + 2Cl
CuCO
3 + 2Na
+ + 2Cl
Reaction 2: Sodium sulphate reacts with copper(II) chloride.
The ions that are present in solution are Cu
2+ , Cl
, Na
+ and SO
4 .
The ions collide with each other and may recombine in different ways. The possible combinations of the ions are as follows:
Cu
2+ + SO
42
CuSO
4 Cu
2+ + 2Cl
CuCl
2 Na
+ + Cl
NaCl
Na
+ + SO
42
Na
2 SO
4 If we look up which of these salts are soluble and which are insoluble, we see that most chlorides and most sulphates are soluble. This is why no precipitate forms in this second reaction. Even when the ions recombine, they immediately separate and go back into solution. The reaction that has taken place between the ions in solution is as follows:
2Na
+ + SO
42
+ Cu
2+ + 2Cl
2Na
+ + SO
42
+ Cu
2+ + 2Cl

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
