Write the formula for calcium chloride. Explain how you determined this formula

1 answer:

7 0

Calcium forms an ion with a positive 2 charge and chlorine forms an ion with a negative one charg, so the formula is <span>CaC<span>l2</span></span>

Group 1 metals and group 2 metals form positive ions by losing 1 and 2 electrons respectively. Non-metals in group 17 gain 1, group 16 gain 2 and group 15 gain 3. Elements which lose electrons form positive ions while elements that gain electrons form negative ions.

To write a formula, you must balance charges so the overall charge is zero. A simple way to do this is to swap the # of the ion's charge and make it the subscript of the other ion. However, leave off the number 1 and reduce to lowest whole number ratio.

Explain why the catalyst is used as a very fine powder and larger pieces of iron are not used.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

<h2><u>Reason:</u></h2>

Catalyst is used as a very fine powder and larger pieces of iron are not used. This is because the surface area of catalyst needs to be large so that more of the surface is exposed to the substrate and more of the substrate is catalyzed.

<h2><u>Important Info:</u></h2>

=> Larger Pieces of Iron has a smaller surface area than the fine particles.

=> Larger the surface area of catalysts/enzymes , more will be the reaction rate and vice versa.

Hope this helped!

Solve the ideal gas law equation for pressure.

posledela

Answer:

$p=\frac{nRT}{V}$

Explanation:

The ideal gas law equation is an equation that relates some of the quantities that describe a gas: pressure, volume and temperature.

The equation is:

$pV=nRT$

where

p is the pressure of the gas

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles of the gas

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature of the gas (must be expressed in Kelvin)

Here we want to solve the equation isolating p, the pressure of the gas.

We can do that simply by dividing both terms by the volume, V. We find:

$p=\frac{nRT}{V}$

So, we see that:

- The pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas

- The pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas

Jolene wants to experiment with sugar cubes. Which of the following causes a sugar cube to only change physically, not chemicall

Ugo [173]

If you cut the cube and keep all the pieces you are causing only physical change
