Answer:

Lithium loses one electron to fluorine and forms ionic bond, having formula LiF.

Explanation:

Lithium is the element of the group 1 and period 2 which means that the valence electronic configuration is [He]2s^1.

Fluorine is the element of the group 17 and period 2 which means that the valence electronic configuration is [He]2s^22p^5.

<u>Thus, lithium loses 1 electron and become positively charged. Fluorine on the other hand accepts this electron and become negatively charged.</u> This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete.  <u>These both ions then form ionic bond as their will be electrostatic interaction between the two oppositely charged ions.</u>

Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is LiF.

What functional feature(s) does the phosphate group contribute to the structure of a phospholipid? select all that apply. select
bezimeni [28]
A phospholipid structure is shown in the picture attached. It has three parts: the hydrophobic tail, the hydrophilic head and the phosphate group in the center. Thus, the function of the phosphate group is to link the hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts of a phospholipid. Specifically, the phosphate group is part of the hydrophilic head. So, it is used to connect the phospholipids to polar compounds.

Al2(CrO4)3 percentage of Al
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

13.4%

Explanation:

Take the molar mass (26.98) of Al x 2 because there are 2 moles in the given compound. Divide this number by the total molar mass of the compound (401.9) this gives you .134. To get a percentage mulitply by 100 for 13.4%.

[(26.98 x 2)/401.9] x 100 =13.4

Silver sulfate, Ag2SO4 (M=311.87), has Ksp= 6.0 x10^-5. What mass of Ag2SO4 will dissolve per liter of water?
galben [10]
The solubility product constant, Ksp, is calculated by the product of the concentration of the dissociated ions raise to the stoichiometric coefficient of each ion. We calculate what is asked in this problem as follows:

Ag2SO4 = 2Ag^+ + (SO4)^2-

Ksp = [Ag^+]^2 [SO4^2-]
<span>6.0 x10^-5 = 4x^2 (x) = 4x^3
x = 0.025 M

0.025 mol </span>(SO4)^2- / L ( 1 mol Ag2SO4 / 1 mol (SO4)^2-) (311.799 g / mol ) = 7.69 g Ag2SO4 / L solution
