Because the calcium ion donates two electrons to achieve the stable state. So the layer of electrons decrease form 4 layers(2,8,8,2) to 3 layers(2,8,8). Thus, the radius of a calcium ion is smaller than a calcium atom.

How does water move on its own concentration gradient?
kifflom [539]
Are you speaking of a density gradient, in which a more concentrated solution moves below a less concentrated solution?

In that case, the more concentrated solution has the greater density, and it will gradually sink below the less concentrated solution. 

In the same way, a stone will sink in water, which is less dense than the stone.

a 360mg sample of sugar (molar mass of 180 g/mol) is dissolved in enough water to produce 200mL of solution. after the sugar is
Pie
360 mg / 1000    => 0.36 g

molar mass => 180 /mol

number of moles:

mass of solute / molar mass

0.36 / 180 => 0.002 moles

Volume solution = 200 mL / 1000 => 0.2 L

M = n / V

M = 0.002 / 0.2

M = 0.01 mol/L

hope this helps!

maks197457 [2]

the answer to your question is

M1V1=M2V2

V2=750-150=600 ml

0.75M*750 ml = M2*600

M2=0.75*750/600 ≈ 9.38 M
