What is the correct notation for a calcium ion whose outershell is a full octet?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>Ca^(2+). Calcium is an alkaline earth metal with an atomic number of 20. Its electronic configuration is (2, 8, 8, 2). From the electronic configuration it would be observed that calcium has two valence electrons. Calcium shares these two electrons with non metals like sulphur in an ionic bond to obtain an outer shell which is full octet. Let me use Sulphur. When calcium gives out its two valence electrons its electronic configuration becomes (2, 8, 8) thereby obtaining a stable out shell and the calcium ion becomes Ca^(2+). The sulphur also obtains a stable octet because it has 6 valence electron initially.</span>

Use the equation 2cu+o2=2cuo to find how many miles of copper react to form 3.64 mil cuo

Firlakuza [10]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

3.64 moles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

From the equation;

2Cu + O2 → 2CuO

Mole ratio of Cu : CuO = 2: 2 equivalent to 1: 1

Moles of CuO = 3.64 Moles

Therefore;

moles of Cu will be ;

3.64 × 1 = 3.64 moles

Moles of Cu = <u>3.64 moles </u>

NItrogen in air reacts at high temperature to form NO2 according to the reaction:

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

Structures for the reactants and products are given in an aimage ;

Number of double bonds in oxygen gas molecule = 1

Number of double bonds in nitro dioxide gas molecule = 1

Number of single bond in in nitro dioxide gas molecule = 1

Number of triple bonds in nitrogen gas molecule = 1

$N_2+2O_2\rightarrow 2NO_2,\Delta H=?$

$\Delta H=[2 mol\times \Delta H_{f,NO_2}]-[1 mol\times \Delta H_{f,N_2}-2 mol\times \Delta H_{f,O_2}]$

$\Delta H_{f,NO_2}=33.18 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{f,N_2}=0$ (pure element)

$\Delta H_{f,O_2}=0$ (pure element )

$\Delta H=2 mol\times 33.18 kJ/mol=66.36kJ=15.86 kcal$

The enthalpy of the given reaction is 15.86 kcal.

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is moving out of the living things.

Explanation:

The food materials eaten by living things contain carbon in the form of complex organic matter. When living things feed, they ingest this complex organic material into their bodies.

During the process of digestion, this complex organic material is broken down to give glucose. Glucose is the energy molecule in living things. Excess glucose in the body is stored as glycogen.

During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to release carbon dioxide. Hence, at night when the giraffe has stopped eating, cellular respiration continues to occur and carbon dioxide is released, that is, carbon dioxide continues to move out of living things at night.
