Ionic compound are those compounds which are made up of ions. The ion which has tendency to loose electrons is said to cation (positive charge) such as metals whereas ion which has tendency to gain electrons is said to anion (negative charge) such as non-metals.

Calcium nitrate is quite soluble in water due to very low lattice enthalpy in comparison to other ionic compound. With lower lattice enthalpy, less energy is required for the dissociation of calcium nitrate and it get dissolves in water than other three compounds. Moreover, hydration energy is higher for calcium nitrate which make its solubility higher in water than other ionic species.

Thus, $Ca(NO_{3})_{2}$ is correct answer.

Balance the following chemical equation Na + Cl2 -> NaCl and explain how the balanced equation models the law of conservation

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

2 Na + 1 Cl2 -> 2 NaCl

Explanation:

The answer is really simple, because if you have 1 nonmetal element that has a subscript of 2, you need to multiply the product and the first reactant by 2 to balance it.

An atom X has three electrons in its outermost shell. Which ion will most likely be formed by X?

DedPeter [7]

Answer: X3+

Explanation:

Every atom aim to achieve stability by receiving electrons or giving their valence electrons in order to have a complete outermost shell of 2 (duplet) or 8 (octet structure).

In this case, the atom X will easily give off its three valence electrons to another atom(s), thereby forming a trivalent positive ion (X3+) with a stable duplet or octet structure (i.e an outermost shell with 2 or 8 electrons).

X --> X3+ + 3e-

Thus, due to the give away of three electrons (3e-), the atom X becomes X3+.

How many pounds of coal would you have to burn to generate enough heat to boil a 15 l kettle?

rjkz [21]

Note that
The heating value of standard coal is about 30,080 kJ/kg
1 L of water has a mass of 1.0 kg

The mass of 15 L of water = 15 kg.
The latent heat of vaporization of water is about 2260 kJ/kg,
The energy required to boil 15 L of water is
(2260 kJ/kg)*(15 kg) = 33900 kJ

The mass of coal required to provide this energy is
(33900 kJ)/(30080 kJ/kg) = 1.127 kg

Because 1 kg = 2.205 lb, the mass of coal required is
(1.127 kg)*(2.205 lb/kg) = 2.485 lb

Answer: 2.49 lb (nearest hundredth)
