3 calcium atoms would be needed.

3 0

1 atom of calcium is needed to form an ionic bond with sulfur.

If calcium has two valence electrons and it needs to denote these two electrons to achieve a noble gas electronic configuration, and sulfur has six electrons, it needs two extra electrons to achieve a noble gas electronic configuration. Thus a ionic bond is formed between sulfur and calcium, in which 1 atom of calcium donate its 2 electrons to 1 atom of sulfur and formation of bond takes place.

What is the percentage by mass of sulphur in Al2(SO4)3[A12SO4 =<br>342g/mol, S = 32]​
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: The percentage by mass of sulphur in Al_2(SO_4)_3 is 9.36%

Explanation:

Mass percent of an element is the ratio of mass of that element by the total mass expressed in terms of percentage.

{\text {Mass percentage}}=\frac{\text {mass of sulphur}}{\text {Total mass}}\times 100\%

Given: mass of sulphur = 32 g/mol

mass of Al_2(SO_4)_3 = 342 g/mol

Putting in the values we get:

{\text {Mass percentage}}=\frac{32g/mol}{342g/mol}\times 100\%=9.36\%

The percentage by mass of sulphur in Al_2(SO_4)_3 is 9.36%

Fe(s) + O2 (g) → Fe3+ O2− What most likely happens during this reaction?
Musya8 [376]

Answer : The most likely happens during this reaction is, Oxidation-reduction

Explanation :

The balanced reaction will be,

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

In this reaction, neutral iron loses 3 electrons and oxidizes in (+3) state, Fe^{3+} and neutral oxygen gains 2 electrons and reduces in (-2) state,O^{2-}

When iron react with oxygen gas to give iron oxide. This process is known as iron rusting. During the reaction, oxidation-reduction process occurs.

Oxidation : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance loses its electrons. Or we can say that in oxidation, the oxidation number increases.

Reduction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance gains its electrons. Or we can say that in reduction, the oxidation number decreases.

Does methylenecyclohexane obey Zaitsev's rule? why or why not
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Explanation: Zaitsev’s or Saytzev’s (anglicized spelling) rule is an empirical rule used to predict regioselectivity of 1,2-elimination reactions occurring via E1 mechanism or via E2 mechanism. It states that in a regioselective E1 or E2 reaction the major product is the more stable alkene, i.e., the alkene with the more highly substituted double bond.

E1 reaction always follow Zaitsev’s rule; with E2 reactions, there are exceptions (see antiperiplanar).

Use bond energies from Table 10.3 in the textbook to estimate the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the following reaction. C2H2(g)+H2(g)
Digiron [165]

Answer: =176.6kJmol^{-1}

Explanation:Bond energy of H-H is 436.4 kJ/mole

Bond energy of  C-H is 414 kJ/mol

Bond energy of C=C is 620 kJ/mol

Bond energy of C≡C is 835 kJ/mol

\Delta H= {\text {sum of bond energies of reactants}}-  {\text {sum of bond energies of products}}

\Delta H= {1B.E(C≡C)+2B.E(C-H) +1B.E(H-H)} - {1B.E(C=C)+4B.E(C-H)}

\Delta H= {1B.E(835kJmole^{-1})+2B.E(414kJmole^{-1}) +1B.E(436.4kJmole^{-1})} -  {1B.E(620kJmole^{-1})+4B.E(414kjmole^{-1})}

=176.6kJmol^{-1}
