A student attempted to identify an unknown compound by the method used in the experiment. She found that when she heated the sam

ple weighing 0.4862g, the mass barely changed, dropping to 0.4855g. When the product was converted to a chloride, the mass went up to 0.5247g. Is the sample a carbonate? What are the two compounds that might be the unknown?

Answer:

The sample is a carbonate.

The unknown samples are Na2CO3 and K2CO3.

Explanation:

Let's assume ,the sample is Na2CO3.

Na2CO3 produces 2 moles of NaCl via formation of Na2O

Number of moles of NaCO3= 0.48262g/106gmol= 4.586×10^-3mol

Mass of NaCl= 2(4.586×10^-3)×58.5=0.536g

Let's assume the sample is K2CO3

K2CO3 produces2 moles of KCl

Number of moles of K2CO3= 0.4862g/138.21gmol

Number of moles= 3.517×10^-3mol

Mass of KCl formed= 2(3.517×10^-3)×74.55=0.5246g

Na2CO3 + 2Cl- ⇒ 2NaCl + CO3^-2 
<span>
1 mole of Na2CO3 = 106 g </span>
<span>2 moles of NaCl     = 2 x 58.4
                               = 116.8 g 
</span>Na2CO3 would increase by 116.8 / 106 = 1.10 to form 2NaCl.
<span>0.4862 g x 1.10 = 0.515 grams of NaCl.
</span>
K2CO3 + 2Cl- ⇒ 2KCl + CO3^-2 
<span>1 mole of K2CO3 = 138.2 g </span>
<span>2 moles of KCl = 149.1 </span>
<span>
K2CO3 would increase by </span>149.1 /138.2 = 1.079 <span>to form 2KCl
</span>
<span> 0.4862 x 1.079 = 0.5246 g</span>

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding
Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.


The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements.  Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known  as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas,   calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
