3 0
Answer:
A- beryllium
B- calcium
C- magnesium

Explanation
NOTE: all element in group 2 have 2 balance electrons

First let’s start with B- number of electrons= number of protons which is equal to the atomic number. therefore, the answer is calcium as it’s atomic number is 20

C- magnesium will have three energy levels considering it has 12 electrons (2,8,2).

A- beryllium is the lightest one in group 2 as it has the atomic mass of 9.0122.

rjkz [21]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.

Answer:

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)

Explanation:

When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)

The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.

If 2.68 g of benzaldehyde are involved with the mixed aldol condensation reaction, how many moles of benzaldehyde are present? R
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The number of moles of benzaldehyde = 0.0253 moles

Explanation:

The molecular formula of benzaldehyde is C₇H₆O

Its molecular mass is calculated from the atomic masses of the constituent atoms.

C = 12.0 g: H = 1.0 g; O = 16.0 g

Molecular mass = ( 12 * 7) + (1 * 6) + (16 * 1) = 106.0 g/mol

Number of moles of  substance = mass of substance/ molar mass of the substance

mass of benzaldehyde = 2.68; molar mass = 106.0 g/mol

Number of moles of benzaldehyde = 2.68 g/ 106 g/mol = 0.0253 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of benzaldehyde = 0.0253 moles

What should i write on a essay about glue and liquid corn starch
PolarNik [594]
Hmm... interesting topic you're writing about here!
Well, for this essay, there must be specific criteria, correct? I'll make some suggestions, but of course you don't have to go by them if you don't like 'em. So... here they are!:

- List the physical and chemical properties of glue
- List the physical and chemical properties of liquid corn starch
- Compare and contrast the physical and chemical properties of glue with the physical and chemical properties of liquid corn starch
- You can conduct some experiments with the two substances also! You can mix the two together and see how they react with each other, and incorporate the results of the experiment into your essay.
- You can mix glue with some other liquid substances too, and incorporate your results into your essay. You can see whether each substance the glue mixes with creates a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture, etc.
- You can mix liquid corn starch with some other liquid substances too, and incorporate your results into your essay. You can see whether each substance the liquid corn starch mixes with creates a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture, etc.

That's all I can come up with at the moment. Maybe you'll take some of these suggestions into consideration...? Anyhow, I hope I helped somehow! :)
