When calcium metal is placed in water, hydrogen gas bubbles out, leaving a highly alkaline (basic) solution. Write the balanced

chemical equation for this reaction. Phases are optional. Do not write an ionic equation (i.e., the answer should not show any charges).

Answer:

Ca (s) + 2H₂O (l) →  Ca(OH)₂ (aq)  +  H₂ (g)

Explanation:

When solid calcium reacts with water, it produces the correspondent hydroxid and hydrogen gas.

The hydroxid which is produced, is the calcium hydroxid which is a strong base, that's why you talk about a highly alkaline solution.

Ca (s) + 2H₂O (l) →  Ca(OH)₂ (aq)  +  H₂ (g)

Calcium hydroxide is a strong base, that dissociates in water, as this:

Ca(OH)₂  →  Ca²⁺ (aq)  + 2OH⁻ (aq)

It's a basic solution,  is providing hydroxyl ions to the medium

Your answer would be,
Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution we needed, 29.22(g)(mol) of NaCI

= 29.22(g)/58.44(g)(mol^-1)(1)/1(L)
= 0.500(mol)(L^-1)



Hope that helps!!!

How many chloride ions are in 2.6 moles of CaCl2?
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

31.31× 10²³ number of Cl⁻ are present in 2.6 moles of CaCl₂ .

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CaCl₂ = 2.6 mol

Number of Cl₂ ions = ?

Solution:

CaCl₂  → Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

In one mole of CaCl₂ there are two moles of chloride ions present.

In 2.6 mol:

2.6×2 = 5.2 moles

1 mole Cl⁻ =   6.022 × 10²³ number of Cl⁻ ions

5.2 mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ number of Cl⁻  / 1mol

31.31× 10²³ number of Cl⁻

What do methanol (CH2O), ethanoic acid (C2H4O2), and glucose (C3H6O3) all have in common?
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Therefore, a is true.

An empirical formula is the simplest ratio of atoms present in a compound. Therefore, C2H4O2 and C3H6O3, (if you simplified them like you would a fraction) would be CH2O. Therefore b is correct,

They also have the same % composition, with a ratio of 1 carbon : 2 hydrogen : 1 oxygen. Therefore, c is correct.

Since a, b and c are all correct, the answer is d, all of the above are true.

Identify each of the following solids as molecular, ionic, or atomic.
Kisachek [45]

Answer :

(A) Br₂ (s) : molecular solids

(B) AgCl (s) : ionic solids

(C) S (s) : atomic solids

(D) CH₄ (s) : molecular solids

Explanation :

Molecular solids : It is defined as the solids in which they are held together by covalent forces, dipole interactions as attractive forces etc.

Ionic solids : It is defined as the solids in which the atoms composed with oppositely charged ions.

Atomic solids : It is defined as the solids in which the molecules are held together by covalent forces and also includes pure substance.

(A) Br₂ (s)

It is molecular solids because they are held together by covalent forces.

(B) AgCl (s)

It is ionic solids because in this atoms composed with oppositely charged ions.

(C) S (s)

It is atomic solids because it is a pure substance.

(D) CH₄ (s)

It is molecular solids because they are held together by covalent forces.
