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.

Sulfur is the element of sixteenth group and third period. The electronic configuration of sulfur is - 2, 8, 6 or 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4

There are 6 valence electrons of sulfur.

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom is complete.  

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

Calcium sulfide, CaS is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by sulfur atom.

Thus, the valence electrons are shown by dots in Lewis structure. The structure is shown in image below.

<u>From the structure, the lone pairs on the structure are: -2</u>

What is the molarity of a solution which contains 0.80 mol of HCl in 250mL of<br> solution?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

3.2M HCl Solution

Explanation:

Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution expressed in liters

moles of solute = 0.80 moles HCl

volume of solution = 250 ml = 0.250 Liter

Molarity (M) = 0.80 moles HCl / 0.250 Liters = 3.2M HCl Solution

Mariana [72]
At STP one mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L

 moles NO2 = 99.0/22.4 = 4.42
mass NO2 = 4.42 mol x 46.0 g/mol=203 g
