Complete the equation for the dissociation of CdCl 2 ( aq ) . CdCl2(aq). Omit water from the equation because it is understood to be present. equation: CdCl 2 ( aq ) ⟶

The answer to your question is         CdCl₂  ⇒   Cd⁺²  +  2Cl⁻¹      

Explanation:

Data

Reactant = CdCl₂ (aq)

Process

1.- Determine the products of this reaction

The products will be the elements that form part of this compound (Cadmium and chlorine).

2.- Write the dissociation reaction

                      CdCl₂  ⇒   Cd⁺²  +  Cl⁻¹

3.- Balance the reaction

                      CdCl₂  ⇒   Cd⁺²  +  Cl⁻¹      

            Reactants    Elements     Products

                    1                 Cd                 1

                    2                 Cl                  1

The reaction is unbalanced

                     CdCl₂  ⇒   Cd⁺²  +  2Cl⁻¹      

            Reactants    Elements     Products

                    1                 Cd                 1

                    2                 Cl                  2

c) should be the answer.
