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

Chemistry
1 answer:

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.

1. Names

I.   CH₃-CH₂-COOH              = 49. propanoic acid

II.  CH₃-CH₂-OH                    = 46. ethanol

III. CH₃-COO-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃ = 47. propyl ethanoate

IV. H-O-CH₂-CH₂-CH₃         = 48. propan-1-ol

V.  H-COO-CH₃                    = 51. methyl methanoate

VI. CH₃-COOH                      = 50. ethanoic acid

2. Precursors

52. methyl propionate  ⇒ methanol + propanoic acid

53.   ethyl methanoate ⇒    ethanol + methanoic acid

An aerospace engineer is designing a rocket to have three stages. Which is
valina [46]

Answer:

<em>A not reasonable explanation for an aerospace engineer designs a rocket to have three stages is</em>:

  • <u><em>A. To simplify the design of the rocket</em></u>

Explanation:

A <em>three stages rocket</em> permits to separate the fuel compartments. The rocket must be launched with a huge amount of fuel to last the entire travel. Then the initial mass of the rocket and the fuel is considerably large.

As the rocket flies, part of the fuel is consumed and so some compartements may be separated and removed decreasing the mass of the rocket as it flies (<em>option D. </em>is a reasonable explanation), so the rocket only carries the necessary mass (<em>statement B</em>. is a reasonable explanation).

As the rocket moves away from Earth, the gravitational force decreases and, in the space, the amount of thrust needed is lesser, which the aerospace engineers take into account for the design (choice C. is a reasonable explanation).

The only <em>not reasonable explanation to design a three stage rocket</em> is to <em>simplify the design of the rocket</em>: designing a rocket with three modules each with different features, functions, and the detachment mechanisms brings lot of complex problems to solve. So, o<em>ption A. </em>is the correct answer.
