Answer:

The compound represents that calcium chloride is an ionic salt made up of 1 calcium ion and 2 chloride ions.

Explanation:

The given chemical formula CaCl_2 is of calcium chloride salt.

The chemical formula represents that 1 atom calcium binds with two atoms of chlorine to form a single molecule of calcium chloride.

It is an ionic salt made up 1 calcium ion and 2 chloride ions.

Calcium has atomic number of 20 and chlorine has atomic number of 17. Calcium will loose 2 electrons to gain noble gas stability whereas chlorine atom will gain 1 electron to gain noble gas stability.

[Ca]=[Ar]4s^2

[Ca^{2+}]=1s^22s^2p^63s^23p^6

[Cl]=1s^22s^2p^63s^23p^5

[Cl^{-}]=1s^22s^2p^63s^23p^6

Ca^{2+}+2Cl^-\rightarrow CaCl_2

A 2.912 g sample of a compounds containing only C, H, and O was completely oxidized in a reaction that yielded 3.123 g of water
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

18 gram of water contains 2 g of hydrogen

3.123 gram of water will contain 2 x 3.123 / 18 = .347 g of hydrogen .

44 gram of carbon dioxide contains 12 g of carbon

7.691 gram of carbon dioxide will contain 12 x 7.691 / 44 = 2.1 g of carbon .

So the sample will contain 2.912 - ( .347 + 2.1 ) g of oxygen .

= .465 g of oxygen .

moles of Carbon = 2.1 / 12 = .175

moles of hydrogen = .347 / 1 = .347

moles of oxygen = .465 / 16 = .029

Ratio of moles of carbon , oxygen and hydrogen ( C,O,H )

= 0.175 : 0.029 : 0.347

= .175/ .029 : 1 : .347 / .029

= 6 : 1 : 12

So empirical formula = C₆H₁₂O

Let the molecular formula be (C_6H_{12}O)_n

molecular weight = n ( 6 x 12 + 12x 1 + 16)

= 100 n

Given 100 n = 100.1

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O.

What mass of zinc is needed to react with 23.1g of phosphoric acid according to the following equation?
Hunter-Best [27]

23.01 g of zinc (Zn)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

3 Zn + 2 H₃PO₄ = 3 H₂ + Zn₃(PO₄)₂

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of phosphoric acid = 23.1 / 98 = 0.236 moles

Taking in account the chemical reaction, we devise the following reasoning:

if           2 moles of H₃PO₄ are reacting with 3 moles of Zn

then      0.236 moles of H₃PO₄ are reacting with X moles of Zn

X = (0.236 × 3) / 2 = 0.354 moles of Zn

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of Zn = 0.354 × 65 = 23.01 g
