Chemistry
1 answer:
Umnica [9.8K]3 years ago
4 0

A mixture is said to be homogeneous if its composition is uniform throughout the mixture. They are referred to as solutions. On the other hand, heterogeneous mixture does not have uniform composition. The substances present in the mixture have visible difference or phases.

Sea water is composed of salt, sand and water. Here, salt and water form homogeneous mixture but due to the presence of sand, the mixture is heterogeneous. Salt dissolves in water and the solution has uniform composition but sand does not dissolve in water, even after vigorous mixing, after some time it settles at the bottom resulting formation of layers. Thus, sea water containing salt, water and sand is a heterogeneous mixture.

Which of the following is the correct formula for Ca2+ reacting with NO2??
mariarad [96]

Answer:

B. Ca(NO2)2

Explanation:

Ions (charged atoms) combine with one another to form stable ionic compounds. In this case, calicium ion (Ca2+) is said to react with NO2, which has a charge of -1 i.e. +1-1(2) = 1-2 = -1.

This means that calcium has a charge of +2 while nitrite ion has charge of -1, hence, when they combine, they exchange their charges, which become their subscript as follows:

Ca2+ + NO2- → Ca(NO2)2

Ca(NO2)2 is a stable ionic compound called calcium nitrite. Notice that it takes two atoms of NO2- to react with one atom of Ca2+.
