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.

When sodium carbonate is dissolved in water, the equation is Na_2CO_3 (s) --- > 2Na^+ (aq) + CO_3^{2-} (aq).

When carbon dioxide is placed in water, aqueous carbon dioxide is formed:  CO_2 (g) --- > CO_2(aq)

<h3>Dissolution of compounds in water</h3>

Some compounds are water-soluble, some are just partially soluble, while others are insoluble in water. Some soluble or partially soluble substances dissociate in water into their component ions. These substances are said to be ionic.

Sodium carbonate, like every other sodium salt, is soluble in water. It dissolves in water to form an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate.

While in solution, sodium carbonate dissociates into its component ions according to the following equation:

Na_2CO_3 (s) --- > 2Na^+ (aq) + CO_3^{2-} (aq)

Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, does not dissociate in water. Instead, it dissolves in water where most of it remains as aqueous carbon dioxide in equilibrium with a small amount of hydronium ion and hydrogen carbonate ion.

Since the hydronium and hydrogen carbonate ions formed are so minute, the equation of the reaction can be written as: CO_2 (g) --- > CO_2(aq)
