Answer : The correct formula unit of an ionic compound is Ca(OH)2

Explanation :

An ionic compound is formed when a metal atom donates one or more electrons to a non metal atom.

During this process, metal gains a positive charge and a nonmetal gets a negative charge.

In an ionic compound, these charges on the ions are balanced so that the overall compound is neutral.

Let us check which of the given compounds have a neutral charge.

1) Al2F3 : Charge on Al is +3 and that on F is -1.

The total charge on 2 Al is 2x3 = +6.

The total charge on 3 F atoms is 3x(-1) = -3

The overall charge on the compound is +6-3 = +3.

That means the given formula unit is not correct.

2) Ca2O : Charge on Ca is +2 and that on O is -2

Total charge on Ca is 2x2 = +4

The overall charge is +4-2 = +2

Therefore the given formula unit is not correct.

3) Ca(OH)2 : The charge on Ca ion is +2 and that on OH is -1.

The total charge on 2 OH ions is 2x(-1) = -2

The overall charge is +2-2 = 0

This gives a neutral compound.

Therefore the given formula unit is correct.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Increasing the the temperature would favour the endothermic reaction which is the forward direction however increasing the pressure would make the reaction try to counteract this change by favouring the reaction that would create more products so the equilibrium will shift left instead of right.

Hope this helps.

Calculate the mass percent (m/m) of a solution prepared by dissolving 45.09 g of NaCl in 174.9 g of H2O.
inysia [295]

Answer:

20.3 %  NaCl

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of solute = 45.09 g

Mass of solvent = 174.9 g

Mass percent of solution = ?

Solution:

Mass of solution = 45.09 g + 174.9 g

Mass of solution = 220 g

The solute in 220 g is 45.09 g

220 g = 2.22 × 45.09

In 100 g solution amount of solute:

45.09 g/2.22 = 20.3 g

Thus m/m% = 20.3 %  NaCl

When 12 moles of o2 react with 1.1 mole of c10h8 what is the limiting reactant?
Trava [24]
1.1   moles   of C10H8  is the  limiting  reagent  in   the  reaction between   reaction  C10H8   and   O2
.
C10H8  +  12O2  ---->  10CO2   + 4H2O

C10H8  is  the  limiting   reagent   since   1.1  moles  of  C10H8  is  totally   consumed   during  the  reaction
