The answer is 2 electrons.

The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.

2 electrons are involved because that is the number of valence electrons.

Hello!

blondinia [14]

Answer:

$[CO]=[Cl_2]=0.01436M$

$[COCl_2]=0.00064M$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given chemical reaction at equilibrium, we can set up the equilibrium expression as follows:

$K=\frac{[CO][Cl_2]}{[COCl_2]}$

Which can be written in terms of x, according to the ICE table:

$0.32=\frac{x^2}{0.015M-x}$

Thus, we solve for x to obtain that it has a value of 0.01436 M and therefore, the concentrations at equilibrium turn out to be:

$[CO]=[Cl_2]=0.01436M$

$[COCl_2]=0.015M-0.01436M=0.00064M$

Regards!

Calculate the molarity of the two solutions.

daser333 [38]

1. 0.33 M

2. 0.278 M

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Molarity is a way to express the concentration of the solution

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solute or mmol in each ml of solution

$\large{\boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \frac {n} {V}}}$

Where

M = Molarity

n = Number of moles of solute

V = Volume of solution

1. 0.350 mol of NaOH in 1.05 L of solution.

n=0.35

V=1.05 L

Molarity :

$\tt M=\dfrac{0.35}{1.05}=0.33$

2. 14.3 g of NaCl in 879 mL of solution.

mol NaCl(MW=58.5 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{14.3~g}{58.5~g/mol}=0.244$

Molarity :

$\tt M=\dfrac{0.244}{0.879~L}\\\\M=0.278$

What is conductivity? How is it measured?

horrorfan [7]

Conductivity is a measurement of the ability of an aqueous solution to transfer an electrical current.

Explanation:

To calculate the conductivity of a solution you simply multiply the concentration of each ion in solution by its molar conductivity and charge then add these values for all ions in solution.
