<span>The best reason I can think of for why we believe that air is a mixture is that freezing air slowly yields different liquids at different temperatures. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen. They also freeze at different temperatures. If air were only 1 compound, then air in its entirety would have a single boiling point and a single freezing point. </span>
What happens when chlorine form an ion is that it gains an electron and has an octet in its outer shell ( answer A)
<u><em> Explanation</em></u>
<u><em> </em></u>Chlorine is is in atomic number 17 in periodic table.
The electron configuration of chlorine is 1S2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P5 or[Ne]3S2 3p5 or 2.8.7.
chlorine therefore has 7 valence electron therefore it gain 1 electron to form Cl- ( ion)
Cl- has 8 electron in its outer shell ( it obeys octet rule of eight valence in outer shell.
The answer is 6.88.
Solution:
We can calculate for the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass by dividing the mass of the CaCl2 solute by the mass of the solution and then multiply by 100. The total mass of the resulting solution is the sum of the mass of CaCl2 solute and the mass of water solvent. Therefore, the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass is
% by mass = (mass of the solute / mass of the solution)*100
= mass of solute / (mass of the solute + mass of the solvent)*100
= (27.7 g CaCl2 / 27.7g + 375g) * 100
= 6.88
