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.

Convert 8.50 moles Ca to atoms
Wewaii [24]

8.50 moles is equal to 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms of Ca.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to multiply the moles of Ca by the Avogadro's number:

= 6.022×10²³

So the number of atoms:

= 8.5 moles × 6.022×10²³atoms / mol

= 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms

Hence the 8.50 moles is equal to 5.1187×10²⁴ atoms of Ca.

2, 4, 1

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

Ag₂O → Ag + O₂

To balance the chemical equation the number of atoms of each element entering the reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

So the balanced chemical equation is:

2 Ag₂O → 4 Ag + O₂

How many grams of CuF2 are needed to make a 2.8 M solution
11111nata11111 [884]
Molarity is given as,

                              Molarity  =  Moles / Volume of Solution  ----- (1)

Also, Moles is given as,

                              Moles  =  Mass / M.mass

Substituting value of moles in eq. 1,

                              Molarity  =  Mass / M.mass × Volume

Solving for Mass,

                              Mass  =  Molarity × M.mass × Volume  ---- (2)

Data Given;

                  Molarity  =  2.8 mol.L⁻¹

                  M.mass  =  101.5 g.mol⁻¹

                  Volume  =  1 L (I have assumed it because it is not given)

Putting values in eq. 2,

                              Mass  =  2.8 mol.L⁻¹ × 101.5 g.mol⁻¹ × 1 L

                              Mass  =  284.2 g of CuF₂

Kepler and Newton studied the movement of planets. Kepler studied the speed of the planets while Newton studied the forces that
nasty-shy [4]
Kepler did not study the speed of the planets, rather, he studied how the planets move in the solar system. He proposed three laws. As a summary, he described that the planets move around the sun in the shape of an ellipse (orbit), and the Sun being one of the foci. Then, he proposed the period for the planet to complete one revolution around the Sun. 

On the other hand, Newton studied the forces acting on the planet (or any object in space) that explain how the planets move around the solar system as described by Kepler. Also, Kepler's observations only apply to planets and not the moons or satellites. Thus, Kepler only made laws from observations, while Newton based it from underlying principles that led him to mathematical equations such as the law of universal gravitation.

Define the term inertia
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Enertia is an integral part of Newton's first law of motion.

It is the tendency of an object to <u>stay at rest</u> or <u>to continue moving</u> until and unless <u>any external unbalanced force</u>, (like, applied force or force of tension or frictional force ) is applied to either move it from rest or change its speed(in other words, accelerate it!!).

Example below, is of ball at rest (fig1) and if this ball is moving straight on a frictionless surface(like ice) it will keep moving!! until, we push it or pull it.
