Answer : The correct formula of the given compound will be, CaCl_2

Explanation :

Calcium chloride is an ionic compound because calcium element is a metal and chloride element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

The charge on calcium is (+2) and the the charge on chloride is (-1). The charges are not balanced.  Thus they combine and their charges are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral CaCl_2.

Hence, the formula of the compound calcium chloride will be CaCl_2

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

4) 1.5 mol

Explanation:

Well, the equation is already balanced and the mole to mole ratio of reactants and products are all 1. So if the limiting reactant is HCl and you have 1.5 mol, you do the mole to mole ratio with NaCl and since it is 1 to 1, there'd be 1.5 mol of NaCl.
