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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nady [450]3 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.

Explain why 1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

The quantity of heat required to vapourize 1 mole of a substance depends on the kind of intermolecular forces between the molecules of the substance. Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces compared to the stronger hydrogen bonding in ethanol. Therefore,  1 mole of diethyl ether requires less heat to  vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.

Intermolecular forces hold the molecules a substance together in a given state of matter. The properties of a substance such as boiling point, melting point etc are dependent on the nature of intermolecular forces holding the molecules of the substance.

Diethyl ether molecules are held together by weak dispersion forces while molecules of ethanol are held together by hydrogen bonds.

Since hydrogen bonds are much stronger than dispersion forces, a greater quantity of heat is required to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds in ethanol in order to vapourize them than is required to vapourize diethyl ether.

Therefore, owing to stronger intermolecular forces between molecules of ethanol, less heat is required to vapourize than is required to vapourize 1 mole of  ethanol.

As a real gas deviates from ideal gas behavior, the particles _____
Alik [6]

Answer:

Have some attraction towards each other

Explanation:

Gases deviate from the ideal gas behavior because their molecules have forces of attraction between them. At high pressure, the molecules of gases are very close to each other so the molecular interactions start operating and these molecules do not strike the walls of the container with full impact.

Hope this helps :-)

Travka [436]
Answer
147.06N
Explanation:
MA=Load/Effort
6.8=1000/x
