A solution of CaCl 2 in water forms a mixture that is 42.0 % calcium chloride by mass. If the total mass of the mixture is 839.6
1 answer:
Answer : The masses of calcium chloride and water used were, 352.6 g and 487.0 g.
Explanation :
As we are given that 42.0 % calcium chloride by mass that means 42.0 grams of calcium chloride present in 100 grams of solution.
In the solution or mixture, 42.0 % calcium chloride and 58.0 % (100-42.0=58.0) water.
Now we have to determine the mass of calcium chloride for 839.6 grams of solution.
As, 100 grams of solution contains 42.0 grams of calcium chloride
So, 839.6 grams of solution contains grams of calcium chloride
Thus, the mass of calcium chloride used is, 352.6 grams.
Now we have to determine the mass of water.
Mass of water = Mass of solution - Mass of calcium chloride
Mass of water = 839.6 g - 352.6 g
Mass of water = 487.0 g
Thus, the mass of water used is, 487.0 grams.

Oxygen-16 is the atom in question.
- Atomic number: 8.
- Mass number: 16.
The superscript of the ion says "2-". That means that the ion here carries a charge of -2.
- The charge is negative, meaning that there are more electrons (which are negative) than protons (which are positive) in that ion.
- The size of the charge is 2. There are two more electrons than protons in that ion.
There are 10 electrons in total in that ion. There are two more electrons than protons. That means that there are 10 - 2 = 8 protons in that ion.
The atomic number of an atom is the same as its number of protons. The atomic number of X is 8.
The atomic number determines the element. Atomic number 8 is oxygen. Thus element X is oxygen.
Mass number is the sum of number of protons and neutrons in an atom. 8 + 8 = 16 for this atom.
