D
CO2
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the reactants and products in the given chemical reaction: NiSO4 + K2CO3 → NiCO3 + K2SO4.
Recognize that this is a double displacement (metathesis) reaction where the cations and anions exchange partners.
Write the ions involved: NiSO4 dissociates into Ni^{2+} and SO4^{2-}, and K2CO3 dissociates into 2 K^{+} and CO3^{2-}.
Exchange the anions between the cations to form the products: Ni^{2+} pairs with CO3^{2-} to form NiCO3, and K^{+} pairs with SO4^{2-} to form K2SO4.
Conclude that NiCO3 is one of the products formed in this reaction, confirming it as the correct answer.
