Answer:

-2

Explanation:

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Thus, calcium loses two electrons to sulfate ion and sulfate ion accepts these electrons to form ionic bond.

Calcium sulfate, CaSO_4 is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by sulfate ion.

Ca^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}\rightarrow CaSO_4

Thus, the charge on the sulfate ion is -2.

given the following list of densities, which material would float in a molten vat of lead provided that they do not themselves m
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Given the following list of densities, which materials would float in a molten vat of lead provided that they do not themselves melt?

Densities (g/mL): lead = 11.4, glass = 2.6, gold = 19.3, charcoal = 0.57, platinum = 21.4.

glass and charcoal

Explanation:

The density of molten lead is about 10.65Kg/m^3

By Archimedes principles, the buoyancy of an object in a fluid is proportional to the mass of fluid displaced

which in turn is proportional to the object's density

Generally an object well float when placed on a denser medium

glass =2.6, and charcoal =0.57 are both less dense so they will float on Lead

Alborosie

Answer:

The radius of the sun is 7x10^5 kilometers, and that of the Earth is about 6.4x10^3 kilometers. Use scientific notation to show that the Sun's radius is about 100 times the Earth's radius. The Sun's radius is 10^10 the Earth's radius.

16. You are running a TLC plate with a polar (A) and nonpolar substance (B); your solvent is a hexane and dichloromethane mixtur
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Acetone

Explanation:

Chromatography has to do with the separation of substances by eluting the components of the solute using a mobile phase. The composition of the mixture to be separated decides the mixture of solvents (mobile phase) that are to be used for elution.

In this case the mixture to be separated comprises of substance A which is polar and substance B which is non polar. It is observed that the mobile phase moves B up the plate but not the polar substance, A. This means that a polar solvent such as acetone should be added to the mobile phase in order to achieve better elution of A.
