The mass of calcium hydroxide that is formed when 10.0 g of CaO reacts with 10.0 g of water is 13.024 grams

calculation

from the equation

CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2,

1 moles of CaO reacted with 1 moles of H2O to form 1 moles of Ca(OH)2

find the moles of each reactant

moles=mass/molar mass

moles of CaO= 10 g/56 g/mol=0.179 moles

moles of H2O = 10 g/18 g/mol 0.556 moles

CaO is the limiting reagent therefore by use of mole ratio of CaO:Ca(OH)2 which is 1:1 moles of Ca(OH)2 is = 0.179 moles

mass= moles x molar mass

= 0.176 moles x 74 g/mol = 13.024 grams

Write an equation that shows the formation of the chloride ion from a neutral chlorine atom

jeka57 [31]

The gaining of electron by an atom results in the formation of anion shown by the negative charge on the atom whereas lose of electron results in the formation of cation shown by positive charge on the atom. The atom lose or gain electron to complete their octet and get stable in nature.

The chlorine atom will gain an electron and form chloride anion with one negative charge on it. The chloride ion is more stable in nature compared to the chlorine atom due to complete octet of chloride ion by gaining of electron.

Electronic configuration of chlorine atom is:

$[Ne]3s^{2}3p^{5}$
