Answer: Silver nitrate is the chemical reagent used to distinguish.

Explanation:

Dissolve both compounds in water. And add silver nitrate to that solution.

1. In case of calcium chloride

The calcium chloride is soluble in water and thus forms ions in aqueous solution.The chloride ions present in the solution react with silver ions of silver nitrate to give white color precipitate of silver chloride.

2AgNO_3+CaCl_2\rightarrow 2AgCl(white)+Ca(NO_3)_2

2. in case of calcium carbonate.

The calcium carbonate is poorly soluble in water. Since, it doesn't get dissolved in water.

When silver nitrate is added there will be no formation of any precipitate.

A chemical reagent that is used in this experiment is silver nitrate (AgNO3). It is used to distinguish calcium chloride and calcium carbonate. when this reagent is used, silver from silver nitrate reacts with Chloride to calcium chloride and forms silver chloride, making a precipitates of white color.

Which of the following is true about the Lewis structure of NF3? Really need help
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the definition of the Lewis structures, which are represented by the valence electrons, we first identify that the N atom has five valence electrons and each fluorine has seven valence electrons.

In such a way, we cans say that N is the central atom due to its lower electronegativity, the molecule has 7+7+7+5=26 valence electrons and the three F-N bonds are covalent, therefore the answer is all of the above.

Regards!

What’s the electron configuration of an N-3 ion
Alla [95]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6

Explanation:

The nitride ion(N^3-) is formed when nitrogen gains three electrons. Nitrogen possesses seven electrons in its orbitals and ordinarily has the electronic configuration; 1s2 2s2 2p3. However,being in group 15, nitrogen can accept three electrons to form the nitride ion and complete its octet of electrons. When this happens, three electrons are added to the nitrogen atom and the electronic configuration is now the same as that of Neon, its closest noble gas which is 1s2 2s2 2p6. Hence the answer given above.

Elements can accept or donate electrons in order to complete their octet structure in accordance to the octet rule which states that atoms and ions must possess eight electrons in their outermost shell in order to attain chemical stability. The reason for ion formation and chemical reaction is in order for species to attain the octet structure.
