In the reaction ca + f2 caf2 , what should be the coefficient for f2?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer : In the reaction of Ca + $F _{2}$ --->Ca $F _{2}$ , the coefficient of Ca and $F _{2}$ will be the same which will be 1.

Explanation : As per the rules of writing a chemical equation and balancing it properly, the number of elements in reactants side should be equal to the number of elements generated in product side. Hence when we use 1 molecule of Ca and one molecule of $F _{2}$ then it generates 1 molecule of Ca $F _{2}$ .

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RETRIEVE A BOTTLE OF SULFATE BECAUSE SULFATE DOES NOT EXIST AS A DISTINCT CHEMICAL COMPOUND.

Sulphate is a polyatomic ion. A polyatomic ions refers to group of atoms that carry charges. Sulfate carries a charge of +2. Sulfate is a very reactive ion, thus, it can not be found existing on its own, it is always found in combination with other elements, such elements include H2SO4 and CaSO4.

pantera1 [17]

A chemical change is defined as something that changes the substance of something (such as the creation of water from hydrogen and water), and can be figured out if chemical or physical based on different changes and properties. Your answer will be D because these are two different elements (compounds in case of CO2) that combine to form a different substance, thus changing the identity of the substance.

How surface area affects the rate of a reaction.

alexandr402 [8]

The smaller the surface area, the faster the rate of reaction will be. Think of ice. A full sized ice cube will take longer to melt than crushed ice. Crushed ice will melt much quicker because there is more surface area exposed. So if the surface area can be increased, so will the rate of reaction.

Hope this helps! :)

Nitrogen has a half life of 10 days. If you have a 75 gram sample how much is remaining after 20 days ?

CaHeK987 [17]

There is 9.375 g of nitrogen. This is because when a half-life passes, the mass becomes 2 times less. Since two half-lives have passed, you need to divide by 4.
