Calcium has an atomic number of 20. How many electrons does calcium lose when forming an ionic bond with another ion?

1 answer:

5 0

2 electrons. it has electron configuration of 2.8.8.2 hence the last 2 will be lost for it to gain stable.

To determine the concentration of a sample of calcium hydroxide, 1.45M HCl is added drop-wise using a burst. Write the balanced

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) —> H2O(l)

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction.

2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) —> CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Ca(OH)2 is a strong base and will dissociates as follow:

Ca(OH)2(aq) —> Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq)

HCl is a strong acid and will dissociates as follow:

HCl(aq) —> H^+(aq) + Cl^-(aq)

Thus, In solution a double displacement reaction occurs as shown below:

2H^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + Ca^2+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) —> Ca^2+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) + 2H2O(l)

To get the net ionic equation, cancel out Ca^2+ and 2Cl^-

2H^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) —> 2H2O(l)

H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) —> H2O(l)

Now consider the reaction a+2b⇌c for which in the initial mixture qc=[c][a][b]2=387 is the reaction at equilibrium? if not, in w

Paul [167]

Solving this chemistry is a little bit hard because the question didn't give some important detailed.
So first, there are a couple problems with your question.
We will just need to know which direction will it proceed to reach equilibrium.
Your expression for Kc (and Qc ) for the reaction should be:
Kc = [C] / [A] [B]^2
You have not provided a value for Kc, so a value of Qc tells you absolutely nothing. Qc is only valuable in relation to a numerical value for Kc. If Qc = Kc, then the reaction is at equilibrium. If Q < K, the reaction will form more products to reach equilibrium, and if Q > Kc, the reaction will form more reactants.

Draw the major organic substitution product(s) for (2R,3S)-2-bromo-3-methylpentane reacting with the given nucleophile. Indicate

Andrew [12]

Answer:

(2R,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane

and

(2S,3S)-2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane

Explanation:

For this case, we will have $CH_3CH_2O^-$ as nucleophile. Also, this compound is also in excess. So, we will have as solvent $CH_3CH_2OH$ a protic solvent. Therefore the Sn1 reaction would be favored.

The first step would be the carbocation formation followed by the attack of the nucleophile. In this case both isomers would be produced: R and S (see figure).

A gas bubble has a volume of 0.650 mL at the bottom of a lake, where the pressure is

astraxan [27]

Considering the Boyle's law, as the pressure decreases, volume increases and has a value of 2.246 mL.

<h3>Boyle's law</h3>

Boyle's law establishes the relationship between the pressure and the volume of a gas when the temperature is constant.

This law says that the volume occupied by a given mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure. This means that if the pressure increases, the volume decreases, while if the pressure decreases, the volume increases.

Boyle's law is expressed mathematically as:

P×V=k

If an initial state 1 and a final state 2 are analyzed, Boyle's law is expressed as:

P1×V1=P2×V2

<h3>Volume at the surface of the lake</h3>

In this case, you know:

P1= 3.46 atm
V1= 0.650 mL
P2= 1 atm
V2= ?

Replacing in Boyle's law:

3.46 atm× 0.650 mL= 1 atm×V2

Solving:

V2= (3.46 atm× 0.650 mL)÷ 1 atm

Finally, as the pressure decreases, volume increases and has a value of 2.246 mL.
