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.

Why are the transition metals able to show different properties like varying color and paramagnetism ?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Colors of transition metal compounds are due to two types of electronic transitions. Due to the presence of unpaired d electrons, transition metals can form paramagnetic compounds. Transition metals are conductors of electricity, possess high density and high melting and boiling points.

I need help with number 8 please help ASAP.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

33.33% = 33%

Explanation:

MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)

1 mole of MCO3 will produce → 1 mole of CO2

We need to get the number of mole of CO2:

and when we have 0.22 g of CO2, so number of mole = mass / molar mass

Moles = 0.22 g / 44 g/mol = 0.005 mole

Moles of Mg = moles of CO2 = 0.005 mole

Mass of Mg = moles * molar mass

= 0.005 * 84 /mol = 0.42 g

Percent of MgCO3 by mass of Mg = 0.42 g / 1.26 * 100

=33.33 %

Solution (A) contains 0.01 M of NH4Cl; solution
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

NH4Cl, NaCl, Ba(OH)2, NaOH

Explanation:

NH4Cl is an acidic salt formed by the neutralization of a strong acid (HCl) with a weak base (NH3). Hence, it will habe a PH<7 (the lowest PH).

NaCl is a neutral salt,formed by neutralization of a strong acid (HCl) with a strong base (NaOH). Hence, it will have a PH of 7.

Ba(OH)2 is a weak base. Therefore, it will have a PH between 8 and 10.

NaOh meanwhile, is a strong base. Therefore, it will have a PH between 10 to 13.

Hence, we have

NH4Cl < NaCl < Ba(OH)2 < NaOH

An electrochemical cell is constructed with a zinc metal anode in contact with a 0.052 M solution of zinc nitrate and a silver c
lana [24]

Answer:

Q = 12.38

Explanation:

The Nernst equation is given as; Ecell = E°cell - (2.303RT/nF) log Q  ;where Q is the reaction quotient.

The reaction quotient, Q  in a reaction, is the product of the concentrations of the products divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants.

In an electrochemical cell, Q is the ratio of the concentration of the electrolyte at the anode to that of the electrolyte at the cathode.

Q = [anode]/[cathode]

therefore , Q = 0.052/0.0042 = 12.38
