EASY AS PIE AND I LIKE PIE

Calcium iodide (CaI2) is an ionic bond, which means that electrons are transferred.  In order for Ca to become the ion Ca2+, the calcium atom must lose 2 electrons. (Electrons have a negative charge, so when an atom loses 2 electrons, its ion becomes more positive.)  In order for I to become the ion I1−, the iodine atom must gain 1 electron. (When an atom gains an electron, its ion will be more negative.)  However, the formula for calcium iodide is CaI2 - there are 2 iodine ions present. This makes sense because the iodine ion has a charge of -1, so two iodine ions have to be present to cancel out the +2 charge of the calcium ion.  Therefore, the calcium atom transfers 2 valence electrons, one to each iodine atom, to form the ionic bond.

Answer: To achieve noble gas configuration and become stable.

Explanation:

Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons.

If an atom gains electrons, it leads to the formation of negative ions known as anions. If an atom looses electrons, it leads to the formation of positive ions known as cations.

As Iodine has atomic number of 53, it contains 53 electrons which are filled according to Afbau's rule as:

I:53:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^24d^{10}5p^5

I^-:54:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^65s^24d^{10}5p^6

As iodine has 7 valence electrons it is valence shell 5 , it is short of one electron to achieve nearest noble gas configuration of Krypton with atomic number of 54. The elements which follow octet rule are considered to be stable and thus iodine accepts electron to form I^-

Baking soda (NaHCO3) and vinegar (HC2H3O2) react to form sodium acetate, water, and carbon dioxide. If 42.00 g of baking soda re
Setler [38]

Answer:

0.5 mole of CO₂.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 42 g of baking soda (NaHCO₃). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NaHCO₃ = 42 g

Molar mass of NaHCO₃ = 23 + 1 + 12 + (16×3)

= 23 + 1 + 12 + 48

= 84 g/mol

Mole of NaHCO₃ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of NaHCO₃ = 42/84

Mole of NaHCO₃ = 0.5 mole

Next, balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

NaHCO₃ + HC₂H₃O₂ → NaC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O + CO₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of NaHCO₃ reacted to produce 1 mole of CO₂

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of CO₂ produced by the reaction of 42 g (i.e 0.5 mole) of NaHCO₃. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of NaHCO₃ reacted to produce 1 mole of CO₂.

Therefore, 0.5 mole of NaHCO₃ will also react to produce 0.5 mole of CO₂.

Thus, 0.5 mole of CO₂ was obtained from the reaction.

Answer:

Eukarya- Multicellar and unicellar

Explanation:

Fugi- Multicellar

Protista- unicellar

eubacteria- unicellar and have no nucleus

Eukarya is the only option, and that is because Eukarya is both! It contains a nucleus, and a membrane making it the only one that fits into the incomplete graphic! Hope this helps! (I noticed you were waiting for a while so I came to help! <3)
