For each ionic compound formula, identify the main group to group 17 (VIIA).

Group17 (VIIA) is the primary group to which X belongs in each ionic combination with the formula CaX2. X is undoubtedly an electron acceptor. It is capable of taking an electron. We determine that X must be in the oxidation state -1 by looking at the chemical formula. The neutral ionic compound's total number of oxidation states is zero. Since calcium has an oxidation state of +2, we must identify the element that contains an anion with an oxidation state of -1. The halogens have a strong propensity to pick up an electron and create an anion. X belongs to group17 (VIIA) as a result.

We have that every gas satisfies the fundamental gas equation, PV=nRT where P is the Pressure, V is the volume of the gas, n are the moles of the gas, R is a universal constant and T is the Temperature in Kelvin. We have that PV/T=nR and during our process, the moles of the gas do not change (no argon enters or escapes our sample). See attached.
