Give a theoretical reason why lithium and oxygen combine in the ratio 2:1

1 answer:

4 0

Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table and thus can only form one bond with another atom (its ion is Li+)

Oxygen can form two bonds (as in the dioxygen O2).

Hence if you conbine Li and O it has to be Li2O.

The Chemistry Cafe was out of bread. The cook went next door to the bakery and bought a loaf of bread which has 33 slices. Then,

maria [59]

In the question, we are told that there are;

A loaf containing 33 slices
A loaf containing 33 slices A package of cheese containing 15 slices

We also know that he is making a sandwich that has 2 pieces of both cheese and bread.

Hence;

Total number of bread and cheese = 33 + 15.

Each loaf should have two pieces of each bread and the cheeses make a total of four pieces.

Therefore he can make = 33 + 15/4 = 12 sandwiches.

The edge length of the unit cell of KCl (NaCl-like structure, FCC) is 6.28 Å. Assuming anion-cation contact along the cell edge,

Mila [183]

Answer:

1.33 Å

Explanation:

Given that the edge length , a of the KCl which forms the FCC lattice = 6.28 Å

Also,

For the FCC lattice in which the anion-cation contact along the cell edge , the ratio of the radius of the cation to that of anion is 0.731.

Thus,

$\frac {r^+}{r^-}=0.731$ .................1

Also, the sum of the radius of the cation and the anion in FCC is equal to half of the edge length.

Thus,

$r^++r^-=\frac {a}{2}$ ...................2

Given that:

$Cl^-\ (r^-) = 1.82\ \dot{A}$

To find,

$K^+\ (r^+) = ? \dot{A}$

Using 1 and 2 , we get:

$1.731\ r^+=0.731\times \frac {6.28}{2}$

Size of the potassium ion = 1.33 Å

The chemical reaction in which solid calcium oxide is treated liquid water is an example of what: A) decomposition B)combustion

laiz [17]

Answer:

The chemical reaction in which solid calcium oxide is treated liquid water is an example of Synthesis reaction. Hence, the answer is (D) Synthesis.

Explanation:

The formula of Calcium Oxide is CaO.

The formula of liquid water is H₂O.

Calcium Oxide reacts with water and forms Calcium Hydroxide. The Chemical equation is shown below.

CaO + H₂O --> Ca(OH)₂.

This is a Synthesis reaction because Ca(OH)₂ is synthesized by using Calcium Oxide and water.

The product of this reaction is calcium hydroxide, also known as slaked lime.

Thus, when calcium oxide reacts with water, slaked lime is produced.

Calcium oxide is also known as lime and is most commonly used for many purposes. It can be used for pH correction of water or for its disinfection (with excess lime).

The mass of a large order of french fries is about 170 G what is its approximate weight in pounds

kap26 [50]

Answer:

0.374 Pound Approximately

Solution:

Gram and Pound are related as,

1 Gram = 0.0022 Pound (approximately)

As we are given with 170 g of French Fries, so it can be converted into pounds as,

1 Gram = 0.0022 Pound

So,

170 Grams = X Pounds

Solving for X,

X = (170 Gram × 0.0022 Pounds) ÷ 1 Gram

X = 0.374 Pound Approximately
