This equation describes the chemical reaction process between calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) and sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3), resulting in sodium nitrate (Na2NO3) and calcium thiosulfate (CaS2O3).
- Reaction conditions
The specific conditions for the reaction to occur may vary based on different factors such as temperature, pressure, and the presence of catalysts. However, under standard conditions (room temperature, 1 atm pressure), this reaction can still take place.
- Reaction process
In this reaction, the calcium ion (Ca2+) in calcium nitrate will react with the thiosulfate ion (S2O32-) in sodium thiosulfate to form calcium thiosulfate. Simultaneously, the nitrate ion (NO3-) from calcium nitrate will combine with the sodium ion (Na+) from sodium thiosulfate to produce sodium nitrate.
- Phenomena occurrence
The chemical reaction between calcium nitrate and sodium thiosulfate usually does not cause any special phenomena except for changes in the color of the solution when the reaction products are formed. Calcium thiosulfate may create a pale or white color in the solution.
