Identify the reactants and products in the given chemical equations.
For equation b, NaCl(aq) + Hg2(C2H3O2)2(aq) →, determine if a double displacement reaction occurs by checking the solubility of the potential products: NaC2H3O2 and Hg2Cl2.
Use solubility rules to check if any of the products in equation b are insoluble. If one is insoluble, it will precipitate, indicating a reaction occurs.
For equation c, (NH4)2SO4(aq) + SrCl2(aq) →, predict the products by swapping the cations and anions to form NH4Cl and SrSO4.
Check the solubility of the products in equation c using solubility rules. If SrSO4 is insoluble, it will precipitate, indicating a reaction occurs.
