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.

Which statement best describes the effect of color on energy absorption and reflection? 1. Light colors reflect more and absorb
fredd [130]
The statement which best described the effect of color on energy absorption and reflection is this: LIGHT COLORS REFLECT MORE AND ABSORB LESS THAN DARK COLORS. Black color absorbs all incident radiations while white color reflects all incident radiations; all other colors fall in the midst of these two colors.

How many liters of hydrogen gas I needed to react with CS2 to produce 2.5 L of CH4 At STP
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

9.8 L

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • 4H₂(g) + CS₂(g) → CH₄(g)+ 2H₂S(g)

At STP, 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L.

We <u>calculate how many moles are there in 2.5 L of CH₄ at STP</u>:

  • 2.5 L ÷ 22.4 L/mol = 0.11 mol CH₄

Then we <u>convert CH₄ moles into H₂ moles</u>, using the<em> stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction</em>:

  • 0.11 mol CH₄ * \frac{4molH_2}{1molCH_4} = 0.44 mol H₂

Finally we <u>calculate the volume that 0.44 moles of H₂ would occupy at STP</u>:

  • 0.44 mol * 22.4 L/mol = 9.8 L

Question 23 (1 point)
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

d = 1.53 g/mL

Object will sink into water

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of object = 14.8 g

Initial volume of water = 25.0 mL

Final volume after adding object = 34.7 mL

Density of object = ?

Density of water = 1.00 g/mL

Solution:

Volume of object = Total volume - volume of water

Volume of object = 34.7 mL - 25.0 mL

Volume of object = 9.7 mL

Density of object;

d = mass/volume

d = 14.8 g /  9.7 mL

d = 1.53 g/mL

The density of water is 1.00 g/mL which means object is heavier than water thus object will sink into the water. The object with density less than water are float in it.
