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

Chemistry

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.

What mass of ammonia can be produced if 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacted ?
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of nitrogen gas (N2) = 13.4 grams

Molar mass of N2 = 28 g/mol

Molar mass of NH3 = 17.03 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

Step 3: Calculate moles of N2

Moles N2 = Mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 13.4 grams / 28.00 g/mol

Moles N2 = 0.479 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of NH3

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 0.479 moles N2 we'll produce 2*0.479 = 0.958 moles

Step 5: Calculate mass of NH3

Mass of NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3

Mass NH3 = 0.958 moles * 17.03 g/mol

Mass NH3 = 16.3 grams

If 13.4 grams of nitrogen gas reacts we'll produce 16.3 grams of ammonia

What is the name of the following compound? A line-angle formula shows a ring with six vertices and a circle inscribed. A Cl ato
ozzi

Answer: Option C. p-dichlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene.

Explanation:

A line-angle formula with six vertices and a circle inscribed corresponds to the compound known as benzene.

Further, according to the IUPAC standards for naming benzene derivatives, you must first number the position of the substituent. In this case, the substituents (chloros) are located at the positions 1 and 4; also, for the benzene derivatives when they have 2 substituents and the positions are 1 and 4, this configuration is known as <em>para </em>or <em>p </em>configuration.

Additionally, this compound has 2 substituents (chloros) so you have to indicate this number (di).

Therefore, the correct answer is C. p-dichlorobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene.

why can you find different features at an oceanic-continental convergent zone than those found at a continental-continental conv
arlik [135]
Continental plates are much thicker that Oceanic plates. At the convergent boundaries the continental plates are pushed upward and gain thickness. The rocks and geological layers are much older on continental plates than in the oceanic plates. The Continental plates are much less dense than the Oceanic plates.

Count the total number of atoms in sio2:
grigory [225]
Atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. We count the number of atoms by the total number of elements present in the compound. In this case, we have 1 atom of Si and 2 atoms of oxygen which would have 3 total number of atoms.
