Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the reactants and products

The reactants given are calcium iodide (\(\mathrm{CaI}_{2}\)) and mercury(II) nitrate (\(\mathrm{Hg}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}\)). Both are in aqueous form.

Step 2: Determine the products of the reaction

This is a double displacement reaction where the cations and anions of the reactants switch places. The products will be calcium nitrate (\(\mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}\)) and mercury(II) iodide (\(\mathrm{HgI}_{2}\)).

Step 3: Write the unbalanced molecular equation

The unbalanced molecular equation for the reaction is: \[ \mathrm{CaI}_{2}(aq) + \mathrm{Hg}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(aq) \rightarrow \mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(aq) + \mathrm{HgI}_{2}(s) \]

Step 4: Balance the molecular equation

To balance the equation, ensure the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. The balanced equation is: \[ \mathrm{CaI}_{2}(aq) + \mathrm{Hg}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(aq) \rightarrow \mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(aq) + \mathrm{HgI}_{2}(s) \] In this case, the equation is already balanced as written.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\mathrm{CaI}_{2}(aq) + \mathrm{Hg}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(aq) \rightarrow \mathrm{Ca}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(aq) + \mathrm{HgI}_{2}(s)} \]

Determine whether the claim stated below represents the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis. If a hypothesis test is performed, how should you interpret a decision that (a) rejects the null hypothesis or (b) fails to reject the null hypothesis? A scientist claims that the mean incubation period for the eggs of a species of bird is at least 33 days. Does the claim represent the null hypothesis or the alternative hypothesis? Since the claim contains a statement of equality, it represents the null hypothesis (a) How should you interpret a decision that rejects the null hypothesis? There is sufficient evidence to reject the claim that the mean incubation period for the eggs of a species of bird is at least 33 days. (b) How should you interpret a decision that fails to reject the null hypothesis? There is evidence to the claim that the mean incubation period for the eggs of a species of bird is at least 33 days.
