How many electrons does the predictable (most common) ion of calcium contain?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
3 0
Answer: 18

Justification:

1) The most common ion of calcium is Ca 2+

2) That means that the atom, neutral calcium, has lost two electrons.

3) The atomic number of calcium is 20.

4) Atomic number is the number of protons, so calcium has 20 protons.

5) Therefore, the neutral atom of calcium also has 20 electrons (to make a net charge of zero).

6) Then, the ion Ca 2+ has 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.

Answer: 18 electrons.

Ice cream is made by freezing a liquid mixture that, as a first approximation, can be considered a solution of sucrose in water.
hjlf

Answer:

Freezing point is -2.81°C

Explanation:

34g/342gmol^-1 = 0.0994mol

n = m/mr

Molarity= 0.994/ 0.66 = 1.51M

◇T = -i × m ×Kf

Where ◇T is freezing depression

i= Vant Hoff factor

m = molarity

Kf = freezing content = 1.

860kgmol^-1

◇T =-1 × 1.51 × 1.860 = - 2.81°C

B. What useful functions do oxidation numbers
disa [49]

Explanation:

b. What useful functions do oxidation numbers  serve?

It is used to show oxidation and reduction (loss and gain of electrons)

b. How many molecules are in 1 mole of  molecules?

1 mole = 6.022 * 10^23 molecules

c. What is the name given to the number of  molecules in 1 mole?

Avogadro's Number of molecules

21. a. What is the molar mass of an element?

This is the mass of an element divided by the number of moles.

Molar mass = Mass / Number of moles

b. Write the molar mass rounded to two  decimal places of carbon, neon, iron and  uranium.

amu = Atomic Mass Unit

Carbon = 12.01 amu

Neon = 20.18 amu

Iron = 55.85 amu

Uranium = 238.03 amu
