The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.
Answer:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
Explanation:
When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.
Answer:
The answer is 0.023 moles of phosphorus
Explanation:
The 15-15-15 fertilizer is a fertilizer of great versatility, made with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which makes it one of the fertilizers most used for fertilizer in the sowing plant, thus covering the crop requirements from planting. .
This fertilizer consists of 14.25% phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). Therefore, we have to remove 14.25% at 10 grams of 15-15-15 fertilizer to calculate the moles of phosphorus. As follows:
Grams of P2O5 = 10 g x 0.1425 = 1.425 g
We calculate the molecular weight of phosphorus. We use the periodic table:
Phosphorus molecular weight = 2 x 30.97 = 61.94 g/mol
Now we calculate the moles of phosphorus in the fertilizer:
Phosphorus moles = 1,425 g/61.94 g/mol = 0.023 moles
The 3d sublevel is not filled until after the 4s sublevel, because the 3d sublevel has more energy than the 4s sublevel, and less energy than the 4p sublevel. (:
Answer:
Sulphur
Explanation:
Sulphur(S) is the Sixteenth element of the periodic table and it has an electronic configuration of 2,8,6. This means it has six electrons in its outermost shell( valence electrons).
Sulphur has sixteen(16) protons which is equal to the atomic number which is also sixteen. Sulphur ends with the letter ‘r’. All the descriptions of the element are satisfied and it validates Sulphur.
