Answer:
-2
Explanation:
Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or
There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.
Thus, calcium loses two electrons to sulfate ion and sulfate ion accepts these electrons to form ionic bond.
Calcium sulfate,
is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by sulfate ion.

Thus, the charge on the sulfate ion is -2.
Metallic I’m pretty sure. :)

Cathode Ray experiment to figure out electrons exist -> atoms can be broken up into subatomic particles
Answer:
1.023 J / g °C
Explanation:
m = 37.9 grams
ΔT = 25.0*C
H = 969 J
c = ?
The equation relating these equation is;
H = mcΔT
making c subject of formulae;
c = H / mΔT
c = 969 J / (37.9 g * 25.0*C)
Upon solving;
c = 1.023 J / g °C
