Why is calcium oxide CaO, and not CaO2?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Mandarinka [93]3 years ago

The Calcium ion is an Alkaline earth metal and wants to give up the 2 s orbital elections and become a +2 cation.

Oxygen has six valence electrons and is looking to gain two electrons to complete the octet (8) electron count in the valence shell making it a -2 anion.

When the charges of the Calcium +2 and the Oxygen -2 are equal and opposite, the ions for an electrical attraction. (Remember Paula Abdul told us "Opposites Attract")

This one to one ratio of charges makes the formula CaO

Ca’s charge is 2+ and O’s charge is 2-. When you cross the charges it would be Ca2O2 and you would simplify to Ca1O1 and the ones are implied so just CaO

What happens when you combine ammonia and formaldehyde?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

The mechanism for the formation of hexamethylenetetraamine predicts the formation of aminomethanol from the addition of ammonia to formaldehyde. This molecule subsequently undergoes unimolecular decomposition to form methanimine and water.

Consider the reaction: 2 H2O (g)--&gt;2 H2 (g) + O2 (g). ΔH=483.6 Kj/mol. If 2 moles of H2O (g) are converted H2(g) and O2(g) ag
denis-greek [22]
DE = dH - PdV 

<span>2 H2O(g) → 2 H2(g) + O2(g) </span>

<span>You can see that there are 2 moles of gas in the reactants and 3 moles of gas in the products. </span>

<span>1 moles of ideal gas occupies the same volume as 1 mole of any other ideal gas under the same conditions of temp and pressure. </span>

<span>Since it is done under constant temp and pressure that means the volume change will be equal to the volume of 1 mole of gas </span>

<span>2 moles reacts to form 3 moles </span>

<span>The gas equation is </span>

<span>PV = nRT </span>
<span>P = pressure </span>
<span>V = volume (unknown) </span>
<span>n = moles (1) </span>
<span>R = gas constant = 8.314 J K^-1 mol^-1 </span>
<span>- the gas constant is different for different units of temp and pressure (see wikki link) in this case temp and pressure are constant, and we want to put the result in an equation that has Joules in it, so we select 8.314 JK^-1mol^-1) </span>
<span>T = temp in Kelvin (kelvin = deg C + 273.15 </span>
<span>So T = 403.15 K </span>

<span>Now, you can see that PV is on one side of the equation, and we are looking to put PdV in our dE equation. So we can say </span>

<span>dE = dH -dnRT (because PV = nRT) </span>

<span>Also, since the gas constant is in the unit of Joules, we need to convert dH to Joules </span>

<span>dH = 483.6 kJ/mol = 483600 Joules/mol </span>

<span>dE = 483600 J/mol - (1.0 mol x 8.314 J mol^-1K-1 x 403.15 K) </span>
<span>dE = 483600 J/mol - 3351.77 J </span>
<span>dE = 480248.23 J/mol </span>
<span>dE = 480.2 kJ/mol </span>
