Why must there be two chlorine atoms for every one calcium atom

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nady [450]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There must be two Chlorine atoms for every one Calcium atom in order to fulfill Chlorine's octet rule and pair Calcium's unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

Calcium has two unpaired electrons in its Lewis dot structure, while Chlorine has one unpaired electron.

<em>So why can't we just make a double bond for </em><em>one</em><em> Chlorine?</em>

Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so once it shares electrons with Calcium, the octet rule is accomplished, and no more pairs can be made.

How many molecules of H2O are equivalent to 97.2g H2O
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

3.25×10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of H₂O = 97.2 g

Number of molecule of H₂O =?

From Avogadro's hypothesis, we understood that:

1 mole of H₂O = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Next, we shall determine the mass of 1 mole of H₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of H₂O = (2×1) + 16

= 2 + 16

= 18 g

Thus,

18 g of H₂O = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Finally, we shall determine the number of molecules in 97.2 g of H₂O. This can be obtained as follow:

18 g of H₂O = 6.02×10²³ molecules

Therefore,

97.2 g of H₂O = 97.2 × 6.02×10²³ / 18

97.2 g of H₂O = 3.25×10²⁴ molecules

Thus, 97.2 g of H₂O contains 3.25×10²⁴ molecules.

Which is larger percent error 1 cm in a meter or 1 g in a kilogram
Ulleksa [173]
<span>1 meter = 100 cm 

so 1cm is 1/100 *100 = 1% error. 


1 kilogram = 1000g 

so 1g is 1/1000 * 100 = 0.1% error. 

as 1%>0.1%, the 1cm in a meter is the greater error</span><span>

A balloon inflated in a room at 27 degrees celsius has a volume of 8.00 L.the balloon is then heated to a temperature of 78 degr
dangina [55]
This problem is being solved using Ideal Gas Equation.
                                                   PV  =  nRT
Data Given:
                  Initial Temperature = T₁ = 27 °C = 300 K
                  Initial Pressure      =  P₁ = constant
                  Initial Volume         = V₁ = 8 L
                   Final Temperature = T₂ = 78 °C = 351 K
                  Final Pressure      =  P₂ = constant
                  Final Volume         = V₂ = ?
As,
Gas constant R and Pressures are constant, so, Ideal gas equation can be written as,
                                          V₁ / T₁  =  V₂ / T₂
Solving for V₂,
                                           V₂  =  (V₁ × T₂) ÷ T₁
Putting Values,
                                           V₂  =  (8 L × 351 K) ÷ 300 K

                                           V₂  =  9.38 L
