Answer:

It has 2 valence electrons

It is a metal.

Explanation:

Calcium is a chemical element with the symbol Ca and atomic number 20. As an alkaline earth metal.

In chemistry, a metal is an element that readily forms positive ions (cations) by losing electrons.

Calcium belongs to group 2 and would give up it's two valence electrons in reactions.

The electronic configuration is given as;

Ca : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 or [Ar] 4s²

Valence electron represents the outermost electrons.

The correct options are;

It has 2 valence electrons

It is a metal.

The solubility of lead(ii) chloride is 0.45 g/100 ml of solution. what is the ksp of pbcl2? 4.9 × 10-2 1.7 × 10-5 8.5 × 10-6 4.2
Artyom0805 [142]
Answer:
1.7 * 10^-5

Explanation:
1- get the number of moles of PbCl2:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 0.45 / 278.1 = 1.618 * 10^-3 moles

2- get the concentration of Pb2+:
molarity = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in liters
molarity = (1.618 * 10^-3) / (0.1) = 0.0162 M

3- getting concentration of Cl-:
<span>PbCl2(s) <==> Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq) 
</span>We can note that:
For a certain amount of Pb2+ formed, twice this amount of Cl- is formed.
This means that:
for 0.0162 M of Pb2+, 2*0.0168 = 0.0324 M of Cl- is formed

4- getting Ksp:
Ksp = [Pb2+][Cl-]²
Ksp = (0.0162)*(0.0324)²
Ksp = 1.7 * 10^-5

Hope this helps :)
