<u>Answer:</u> The element having similar chemical properties that of calcium present in period 3 is magnesium.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a periodic table, elements are arranged in 18 vertical columns known as groups and 7 horizontal rows known as periods.

Elements arranged in a group show similar chemical properties because of the presence of same number of valence electrons.

We are given:

Calcium is the 20th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

It has 2 valence electrons.

The element present in period 3 and have the same number of valence electron or in the same group is magnesium.

Hence, the element having similar chemical properties that of calcium present in period 3 is magnesium.

Answer:

For these problems, we need to compare the theoretical yield that we'd get from performing stoichiometry to the actual yield stated in the problem. % yield is the actual yield/theoretical yield x 100%

Cu + 2 AgNOâ‚ â†’ Cu(NOâ‚)â‚‚ + 2 Ag ==> each mole of copper yields two moles of silver

12.7-g Cu x ( 1 mol Cu /63.5-g Cu) x ( 2 mol Ag / 1 mol Cu) x (108-g Ag / 1 mol Ag) = 43.2-g Ag. This is the theoretical yield. Now, since we got 38.1-g Ag our % yield is:

38.1-g/43.2-g x 100% = 88.2%

What is the complete ionic equation for NaOHaq plus HCIaq equals H2OI plus NaCIaq?

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Ionic equation:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H₂O(l) + NaCl (aq)

Ionic equation:

Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) → H₂O(l) + Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

OH⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq) → H₂O(l)

The Cl⁻(aq) and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The water can not be splitted into ions because it is present in liquid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.
