Answer:

The coefficient of water is 2 (option a)

Explanation:

Step 1: The unbalanced equation

Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

Step 2: Balancing the equation

Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

On the left side we have 1x N (in HNO3), on the right side we have 2x Ca(NO3)2.

To balance the amount of N on both sides, we have to multiply HNO3, on the left side, by 2.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

On the left side we have 4x H (2x in Ca(OH)2 and 2x in 2HNO3), On the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O, on the right side, by 2.

Now the equation is balanced.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

The coefficient of water is 2 (option a)

Answer:

The answer to the question is letter a. 2

Explanation:

Write the formula of each compound

Calcium hydroxide = Ca(OH)₂

Nitric acid = HNO₃

Water = H₂O

Calcium nitrate = Ca(NO₃)₂

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

2) there are 28 protons in this isotope

     The number that is on the bottom of the "stacked pair" tells you how many protons are in this isotope. It is often represented by the variable Z.

3) there are 35 neutrons in this isotope

     Subtract the number of protons (28) from the top number

4) there are 28 electrons in the neutral element of Nickel

     If you were to look at the period table and find Ni, you would see that its atomic number is 28. This number tells us the amount of protons and electrons there are in that element.

5) 62.9296694 atomic mass units

     Just search it up (unless your teacher wants you to calculate it)

6) there are 92 protons in this isotope

     Again just look at the Z value to find the proton count

7) there are 146 neutrons in this isotope

     Subtract 238 - 92 = 146

8) there are 92 electrons in the neutral element of uranium

     Again just look at the periodic table and find U

9) 238.0507882 atomic mass units

10) 12C or carbon 12 is more likely to bond with oxygen that 14c carbon 14

     This is because 12C is more abundant at 98.93% than 14C

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3

How many moles of gas are present in 1.13 L of gas at 2.09 atm and 291 K?
raketka [301]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

n = 0.0989 moles

<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2>

n = PV / RT

P = 2.09atm

V = 1.13L

R = 0.08206

T = 291K

Plug the numbers in the equation.

n = (2.09atm)(1.13L) / (0.08206)(291K)

n = 0.0989 moles

Ionic compounds are held together with ionic bonds between ions. The ions are formed when valence electrons are
Elza [17]

Answer: Electrovalent bonds are produced when electrons are transferred from atoms of one element to atoms of another element, producing positive and negative ions. The bond which is formed by the transfer of electrons between the atoms is called electrovalent bond or ionic bond. Electrovalent bonds are only formed between metals and non-metals. Electrovalent bonds are not formed between two non-metals.

In simple words electrovalent bond involves the transference of a certain number of electrons to another dissimilar atom which has a tendency to gain electrons so that both acquire stable inert gas configurations. The electrostatic attraction always tends to decrease the potential energy. Hence, the potential energy of the system is much less than it was before the formation of an ionic bond.

Explanation: An Ionic bond is the bond formed by the complete transfer of valence electron to attain stability.

This type of bonding leads to the formation of two oppositely charged ions – positive ion known as cations and negative ions are known as anions.

The presence of two oppositely charged ions results in a strong attractive force between them. This force is an ionic or electrovalent bond.

Ionic bonds form between atoms with large differences in electronegativity, whereas covalent bonds formed between atoms with smaller differences in electronegativity.

The compound formed by the electrostatic attraction of positive and negative ions is called an ionic compound.
