A calcium atom has two valence electrons. Do you think it will lose two electrons or gain six

Chemistry
1 answer:
stiks02 [169]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A calcium atom will lose its two electrons to obtain an octect in its outermost electron shell.

Explanation:

When a calcium atom loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion. Due to the process of chemical bonding, it is easier for calcium to lose 2 atomes rather than gaining 6 more atoms.

Would you expect salts like NaCl, which have singly-charged ions, to have larger or smaller lattice energies compared to salts l
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

NaCl has a smaller lattice energy compared to CaO

Explanation:

We have remember that lattice energy increases as the size of the ions in the ionic solid decreases. According to Oxford dictionary; lattice energy is "a measure of the energy contained in the crystal lattice of a compound, equal to the energy that would be released if the component ions were brought together from infinity."

We know that the larger the magnitude of charge on a cation the smaller in size the cation is and the size of anions increase from left to right in the periodic table. Hence Ca^2+<Na^+ and O^2- < Cl^-. Therefore the lattice energy of CaO is greater than that of NaCl.

Which mass of oxygen completely reacts with 4.0 grams of hydrogen to produce 36.0 grams of water
Mnenie [13.5K]
This problem may easily solved by applying the conservation of mass, which states that the total mass before and after a change is constant because mass can neither be created nor destroyed.
We know that water consists of only hydrogen and water, and that there are no other reactants except hydrogen and oxygen. Thus:
Mass of reactants = Mass of product
mass of hydrogen + mass of oxygen = mass of water
4 + mass of oxygen = 36
mass of oxygen = 32 grams

Why do atoms form blonds​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. ... An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.

3. If you start with 8x1025 molecules of Cl, and 25 grams of KI, how many grams of KCl would
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Percent yield = 89.1%

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

Cl₂ + 2KI → 2KCl + I₂

<em>1 mole of Cl₂ reacts with 2 moles of KI to produce to moles of KCl</em>

<em />

To solve this quesiton we must find the moles of each reactant in order to find the limiting reactant. With the limiting reactant we can find the moles of KCl and the mass:

<em>Moles Cl₂:</em>

8x10²⁵ molecules * (1mol / 6.022x10²³ molecules) = 133 moles

<em>Moles KI -Molar mass: 166.0028g/mol-</em>

25g * (1mol / 166.0028g) = 0.15 moles

Here, clarely, the KI is the limiting reactant

As 2 moles of KI produce 2 moles of KCl, the moles of KCl produced are 0.15 moles. The theoretical mass is:

0.15 moles * (74.5513g / mol) =

11.2g KCl

Percent yield is: Actual yield (10.0g) / Theoretical yield (11.2g) * 100

<h3>Percent yield = 89.1%</h3>
