Answer:

4 atoms of Chlorine

Explanation:

This is actually easy to explain,

First we have here a type of nomenclature. This one is the sistematic nomenclature, and begins by naming the number of atoms that one element has, beggining for the non metal first, and then the metal or the non metal acting like a metal. In this case, the Carbon is acting like a metal.

The number of atoms are named by a prefix of the number. Each number has a determined prefix. Here are some of them:

one = 1 = mono

two = 2 = bi or di

three = 3 = tri

Four = 4 = tetra

Five = 5 = penta

Six = 6 = Hexa

So tetrachloride, means that we have 4 atoms of chlorine in the molecule and the molecule is this one: CCl4

Typical "hard" water contains about 2.0 x 10–3 mol of Ca2+ per liter. Calculate the maximum concentration of fluoride ion that c

malfutka [58]

Answer:

$[F^-]_{max}=4x10{-3}\frac{molF^-}{L}$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the described situation, we infer that calcium reacts with fluoride ions to yield insoluble calcium fluoride as shown below:

$Ca^{+2}(aq)+2F^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons CaF_2(s)$

Which is typically an equilibrium reaction, since calcium fluoride is able to come back to the ions. In such a way, since the maximum amount is computed via stoichiometry, we can see a 1:2 mole ratio between the ions, therefore, the required maximum amount of fluoride ions in the "hard" water (assuming no other ions) turns out:

$[F^-]_{max}=2.0x10^{-3}\frac{molCa^{2+}}{L}*\frac{2molF^-}{1molCa^{2+}} \\$

$[F^-]_{max}=4x10{-3}\frac{molF^-}{L}$

Best regards.

How many mL are 2.3 mol of CO2 at STP?

kupik [55]

Answer:

0.052mL

Explanation:

1mole of a gas occupy 22.4L.

Therefore, 1 mole of CO2 will also occupy 22.4L.

If 1mole of CO2 occupies 22.4L,

Then 2.3moles of CO2 will occupy = 2.3 x 22.4 = 51.52L

coverting this volume to mL, we simply divide by 1000 as shown below:

51.52/1000 = 0.05152mL = 0.052mL

Identify the standard metal cations in the active components of soaps

rjkz [21]

Answer is: standard metal cations are sodium cation (Na⁺), potassium cation (K⁺), magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) and calcium cation (Ca²⁺).
Soap is a salt of a fatty acid. When soap have sodium and potassim cations, that is toilet soap and when soap have magnesium and calcium cations, that soap is called metallic soap.
