Write a complete, balanced equation for this double displacement reaction between sodium hydroxide and nickel(ii) chloride. (hint: the solid is a compound of ni2+ ions and hydroxide ions.) write the complete molecular equation rather than the net ionic equation.

Chemical formula of sodium hydroxide = NaOH

Chemical formula of Nickel (II) Chloride = NiCl₂

The product is a solid compound of Ni²⁺ ions and hydroxide ions.

So the compound formed is Nickel (II) Hydroxide.

Chemical formula of Nickel (II) Hydroxide = Ni(OH)₂.

Since a double displacement reaction occurs, the other product should be NaCl.

The balanced chemical molecular equation for the reaction is thus

NiCl₂ + NaOH → Ni(OH)₂ + NaCl.

In 1663, Charles II was king of England. He gave the land south of Virginia to eight proprietors. These men founded the Carolina colony. They named it after the king's father, Charles I.
