As the metal rusts it expands increasing its mass therefore increasing the weight.

Because the rusty nail had the combined mass of the original nail along with oxidized substances. since your adding something that exists to the  mass your mass will be greater.

Which of the following is the correct formula for Ca2+ reacting with NO2??
mariarad [96]

Answer:

B. Ca(NO2)2

Explanation:

Ions (charged atoms) combine with one another to form stable ionic compounds. In this case, calicium ion (Ca2+) is said to react with NO2, which has a charge of -1 i.e. +1-1(2) = 1-2 = -1.

This means that calcium has a charge of +2 while nitrite ion has charge of -1, hence, when they combine, they exchange their charges, which become their subscript as follows:

Ca2+ + NO2- → Ca(NO2)2

Ca(NO2)2 is a stable ionic compound called calcium nitrite. Notice that it takes two atoms of NO2- to react with one atom of Ca2+.

What happens when chlorine from<br> CFCs mixes with ozone?
Svetach [21]

Answer:

Because they are extremely stable molecules, CFCs do not react easily with other chemicals in the lower atmosphere. ... Free chlorine atoms then react with ozone molecules, taking one oxygen atom to form chlorine monoxide and leaving an ordinary oxygen molecule.

How is the periodic law demonstrated in halogens
inn [45]
Halogens is defined as the group of 7 periodic table. As, every periodic table contains 7 valence electrons and they only need 1 more to complete an outer shell, that is why they are extremely reactive. And according to the law that recurring patterns of the properties of elements arise when they are arranged in order of increasing atomic number. As the halogen all act very similarly with each other in chemical reaction, it is true.
