Answer: The chemical formula for the compound will be $CaI_2$

Explanation:

Calcium is the 20th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^2$

This element will loose 2 electrons and thus shows an oxidation state of +2 units.

Iodine is the 53rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^24d^{10}5p^5$

This element requires 1 electron and thus shows an oxidation state of -1 units.

So, by criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions will get exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Hence, the chemical formula for the compound formed will be $CaI_2$

11 Which compound has the greatest percent composition by mass of sulfur?(1) BaS (3) MgS

harina [27]

Percent composition by mass is calculated (mass of element within compound)/(mass of compound)*100. The lower the total molar mass of the compound, the greater the percent composition of sulfur. In this case, MgS would be that compound, since Mg has the lowest molar mass of the four elements bonded to S.

At the end of the reaction you washed the chemicals into a beaker using water. Why was it OK to use water to do this if Grignard

lesya692 [45]

Answer: water could be used to wash it since the reaction has ended.

Explanation:

There will be no reaction of water with the Grignard reagent since the reaction has ended, as it is well known that water is a universal solvent for washing of glasswares after experiments but if it is during the reaction it will be more advisable to rinse with alcohol to enhance more accuracy during the experiment

If the elastic modulus of cobalt (co) is 200 gpa, and the elastic modulus of tungsten carbide (wc) is 700 gpa, calculate the upp

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

To determine the upper bond
Ec(u) = EmVm + EpVp
Em is the elastic modulus of cobalt.
E₁ is the elastic modulus of the particulate
Vm is the volume fraction of cobalt
Vp is the volume fraction of particulate
substitute
Ec(u) = 200 (Vm) + 700 (Vp)
To determine the lower bound
Ec (l) = EmEp/VmEp+ VpEm
Substitute
Ec (l) = 200(700)/Vm(700) + Vp (200)
Ec (l) = 1400/7Vm+2Vp
