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.

Complete combustion of a 17.12mg sample of xylene In oxygen yielded 56.77mg
Veronika [31]

Xylene moles =\frac{17.12}{106.16×1000}=0.00016moles=

106.16×1000

17.12

=0.00016moles

Moles of CO_2 =\frac{56.77}{44.01×1000}=0.0013CO

2

=

44.01×1000

56.77

=0.0013

Moles of H_2O= =\frac{14.53}{18.02×1000}=0.0008H

2

O==

18.02×1000

14.53

=0.0008

Moles ratios

\frac{0.0013}{0.0008}=1.625

0.0008

0.0013

=1.625

\frac{0.0008}{0.0008}=1

0.0008

0.0008

=1

Hence molecular fomula

The empirical formula is C 4H 5.

The molecular formula C8H10
