Cual es la razón de que la molécula de oxigeno de calcio sea caO y no sea ca2O. o caO 2​

Chemistry

Fed [463]3 years ago

Answer:

In calcium oxide (CaO), oxygen and calcium are respectively a non-metal and a metal, whose bonding is based on the exchange of electrons to form an ionic bond, which balances their charges and makes it chemically stable.

Explanation:

<em>What is the reason that in the calcium oxide molecule is caO and not Ca₂O or CaO₂?</em>

Calcium is a metallic element -a soft metal- that is capable of bonding with a non-metallic element such as oxygen to form an ionic bond, so that each Ca atom will bond to a single O atom.

CaO (calcium oxide)

  • <em>Ca Z = 20  </em>
  • <em>O Z = 8</em>

          Ca              +         O       ---→       Ca⁺²    +      O ⁻²

     K   L   M   N               K   L                 K  L  M        K  L

     2   8    8   2               2   6                  2  8   8       2  8

The electron exchange that is observed occurs between +atom and atom, and for this reason the chemical formula of calcium oxide is CaO.

Calcium oxide (lime) is obtained by heating calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) to very high temperatures through the following reaction

                                CaCO₃ + heat → CaO + CO₂

Identify the conjugate acid/base pairs in each of the following equations:
Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a) Pair 1: H₂S and HS⁻

    Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(b) Pair 1: HSO₄⁻ and SO₄⁻

    Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(c) Pair 1: HBr and Br⁻

    Pair 2: CH₃O⁻ and CH₃OH

(d)  Pair 1: HNO₃ and NO₃⁻

     Pair 2: H₃O⁺

Explanation:

When an acid loses its proton (H⁺), a conjugate base is produced.

When a base accepts a proton (H⁺), it forms a conjugate acid.

(a) H₂S is an acid. When it loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base HS⁻.

    NH₃ is a base. When NH₃ gains a proton, it forms the conjugate acid NH₄⁺

(b) The acid HSO₄⁻ loses a H⁺ ion and forms the conjugate base SO₄²⁻.

     The base NH₃ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

(c) HBr is an acid. When loses the H⁺ ion, it forms the conjugate base Br⁻.

   CH₃O⁻ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid CH₃OH.

(d) HNO₃ loses a proton to form the conjugate base NO₃⁻.

    H₂O gains a proton to form the conjugate acid H₃O⁺.

Why is concentrated sodium hydroxide preferred than water
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It is highly soluble in water, and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. It forms a series of hydrates NaOH·nH

2O.[11] The monohydrate NaOH·H

2O crystallizes from water solutions between 12.3 and 61.8 °C. The commercially available "sodium hydroxide" is often this monohydrate, and published data may refer to it instead of the anhydrous compound.

As one of the simplest hydroxides, sodium hydroxide is frequently utilized alongside neutral water and acidic hydrochloric acid to demonstrate the pH scale to chemistry students.[12]

Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries: in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents, and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tons, while demand was 51 million tons.[13]

If a solution has virtually virtually no hydrogen ions, what type of pH does it have? ​
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

13: if thats one of the options

Explanation:

B/c for pH to be that high you have to have alot of OH ions and almost non H+. pH won't be 0 or 2 cuz that implies ALOT of H ions. pH wont be 7 cuz that implies we have 1*10^-7 H ions.
