The answer is 2 electrons.
The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2
Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.
Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.
For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.
They don't change what the substance really is unlike chemical change. They chemical formula of the substance stays the same even though the substance can go under shape change.
Answer:
a) heat it from 23.0 to 78.3
q = (50.0 g) (55.3 °C) (2.46 J/g·°C) =
b) boil it at 78.3
(39.3 kJ/mol) (50.0 g / 46.0684 g/mol) =
c) sum up the answers from the two calculations above. Be sure to change the J from the first calc into kJ
Explanation:
Answer:
The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another.
Explanation:
This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside.
