Answer:

Explanation:

Nickel has an atomic number of 28 meaning that it contains 28 protons in its nucleus. It would need 28 electrons in order to have no charge, because the positive and negative charges balance each other out. Since this atom of Ni has 26 electrons, it has lost 2 of its electrons, and therefore has a positive charge of 2.

II. Ionic Equations

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Complete ionic: $\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}$ .

Net ionic: $\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Explanation:

Start by identifying species that exist as ions. In general, such species include:

Soluble salts.
Strong acids and strong bases.

All four species in this particular question are salts. However, only three of them are generally soluble in water: $\rm AgNO_3$ , $\rm CaCl_2$ , and $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ . These three salts will exist as ions:

Each $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ag^{+}$ ion and one $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ion.
Each $\rm CaCl_2$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ca^{2+}$ ion and two $\rm Cl^{-}$ ions (note the subscript in the formula $\rm CaCl_2\!$ .)
Each $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ formula unit will exist as one $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and two $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ions.

On the other hand, $\rm AgCl$ is generally insoluble in water. This salt will not form ions.

Rewrite the original chemical equation to get the corresponding ionic equation. In this question, rewrite $\rm AgNO_3$ , $\rm CaCl_2$ , and $\rm Ca(NO_3)_2$ (three soluble salts) as the corresponding ions.

Pay attention to the coefficient of each species. For example, indeed each $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ formula unit will exist as only one $\rm Ag^{+}$ ion and one $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ ion. However, because the coefficient of $\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)\!$ in the original equation is two, $\!\rm AgNO_3\, (aq)$ alone should correspond to two $\rm Ag^{+}\!$ ions and two $\rm {NO_3}^{-}\!$ ions.

Do not rewrite the salt $\rm AgCl$ because it is insoluble.

$\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \, (aq) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \\ & \rm \to 2\, AgCl\, (s) + Ca^{2+}\, (aq) + 2\, {NO_3}^{-}\, (aq)\end{aligned}$ .

Eliminate ions that are present on both sides of this ionic equation. In this question, such ions include one unit of $\rm Ca^{2+}$ and two units of $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ . Doing so will give:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm 2\, Ag^{+}\, (aq) + 2\, Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Simplify the coefficients:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+}\, (aq) + Cl^{-}\, (aq) \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Johanna makes the table below to organize her notes about centripetal forces. Which type of force should she place in the cell m

Valentin [98]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option 2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Centripetal force is defined as the force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed towards the center around which the body is moving.

Mathematically,

$F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where,

$F_c$ = centripetal force

m = mass of the object

v = tangential velocity

r = radius of the path

From the above relation, X corresponds to the radius and Y corresponds to the tangential velocity.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Each of the following names is wrong. Draw structures based on them, and correct the names:(b) 1,1,1-trimethylheptane

devlian [24]

The correct IUPAC name of 1,1,1-trimethylheptane is 2,2-dimethyloctane.

<h3>IUPAC NAME:</h3>

It is systematic way of nomenclature of organic compounds.

It is based on the position of functional groups, preference of the functional group, long or short chain of carbon, preference of double bond, single and triple bond, branching of carbon chain, etc.

The given compound is 1,1,1-trimethylheptane.

The given name is wrong according to IUPAC name because the numbering of carbon atom should be done in that way in which the carbon atom chain is largest.

Here, in this case the numbering is done from right side. Thus the largest carbon chain have 8 carbon atom.

If the numbering is done according to the question, number of carbon atom in straight chain is 7.

Thus, we concluded that the Correct IUPAC name of 1,1,1-trimethylheptane is 2,2-dimethyloctane.

Describe the difference between accuracy and precision. How do these two concepts relate to the idea of significant digits?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Accuracy of a measured value refers to how close a measurement is to the correct value. The uncertainty in a measurement is an estimate of the amount by which the measurement result may differ from this value. Precision of measured values refers to how close the agreement is between repeated measurements.
