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

Chemistry
1 answer:
hichkok12 [17]4 years ago

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.

Please Help! It says fill in the blanks to complete the Punnett square below to show the results of a cross between a homozygous
makkiz [27]

Answer:

Genotypes: Homozygous (GG)=50%, Heterozygous (Gg)=50%.

Phenotypes: Homozygous gray (GG)=50%, Heterozygous gray (Gg)=50% or just Gray=100%

Explanation:

Hello,

The Punnett square for this cross turns into:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&G&g\\G&GG&Gg\\G&GG&Gg\end{array}\right]

It means that the genotypes and phenotypes are:

Genotypes: Homozygous (GG)=50%, Heterozygous (Gg)=50%.

Phenotypes: Homozygous gray (GG)=50%, Heterozygous gray (Gg)=50% or just Gray=100%

Best regards.

10) In order to make spaghetti cook faster, a chef adds salt to water. How many moles of salt would he need to add to 1.0 kg wat
Vadim26 [7]
The answer is 4.9 moles.
Solution: 
Using the equation for boiling point elevation Δt,
     Δt = i Kb m 
we can rearrange the expression to solve for the molality m of the solution:
     m = Δt / i Kb 

Since we know that pure water boils at 100 °C, and the Ebullioscopic constant Kb for water is 0.512 °C·kg/mol, 
     m = (105°C - 100°C) / (2 * 0.512 °C·kg/mol)
         = 4.883 mol/kg 

From the molality m of the solution of salt added in a kilogram of water, we can now find the number of moles of salt: 
     m = number of moles / 1.0kg
     number of moles = m*1.0kg 
                                  = (4.883 mol/kg) * (1.0kg)
                                  = 4.9 moles

Answer:

Oxidation

Explanation:

Mg loses 2e- for it to gain it's stability hence the reaction above is oxidation

note: Oxidation is the loss of electrons while reduction is the gain of electrons
