Answer:
-2
Explanation:
Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or
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,
is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by sulfate ion.

Thus, the charge on the sulfate ion is -2.
Two types of chemical bonds common in compounds are covalent bonds and ionic bonds. The elements in any compound are always present in fixed ratios. Example 1: Pure water is a compound made from two elements - hydrogen<span> and </span>oxygen<span>.</span>
Answer: The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.
Explanation:
Electrolytic cells use electric currents to drive a non-spontaneous reaction forward.
Relation of standard free energy change and emf of cell

where,
= standard free energy change
n= no of electrons gained or lost
F= faraday's constant
= standard emf
= standard emf = -ve , for non spontaneous reaction
Thus 
Thus standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.
The answer is False. The formation of the moon did not cause the Paleozoic extinction. The moon formed during the Precambrian era.
Answer:
A. 85.6 g
= 0.0856 kg.
B. 0.00027 mol/g
= 0.27 mol/kg.
C. 8.39 %
Explanation:
Given:
Molar concentration = 0.25 M
Molar weight of sucrose = 342.296 g/mol
Density of solution = 1.02 g/mL
Mass of water = 934.4 g.
Density in g/l = 1.020 g/ml * 1000ml/1 l
= 1020 g/l
Mass of solution in 1 l of solution = 1020 g
Mass of solution = mass of solvent + mass of solute
Mass of sucrose = 1020 - 934.4
= 85.6 g of sucrose in 1 l of solution.
A.
Density of sucrose = mass/volume
= molar mass/molar concentration
= 342.296 * 0.25
= 85.6 g/l
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
= 85.6/342.296
= 0.25 mol
B.
Molality = number of moles of solute/mass of solvent
= 0.25/934.4
= 0.00027 mol/g
C.
% mass of sucrose = mass of sucrose/total mass of solution * 100
= 85.6/1020 * 100
= 8.39 %
