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.

IF WRONG, SORRY

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^-

A. Synthesis.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Double replacement

Explanation:

The given reaction is double replacement reaction.

CaCO₃ + 2HCl  → CaCl₂ + H₂CO₃

Double replacement:

It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.

AB + CD → AC +BD

while,

Synthesis reaction:

It is the reaction in which two or more simple substance react to give one or more complex product.

Decomposition:

It is the reaction in which one reactant is break down into two or more product.

AB → A + B

Single replacement:

It is the reaction in which one elements replace the other element in compound.

AB + C → AC + B

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

2.41065 grams

Explanation:

Here we have to apply molarity, particularly in reference to the equation molarity = moles of solute / volume. I would like to rewrite this formula, but with respect to the units - grams = moles / Liters,

We can use molarity to determine the number of moles. After doing so, we can determine the mass of the solute with respect to the formula moles = mass / molar mass. The molar mass of NaCl is 58.44 grams.

_______________________________________________________

275 mL = 0.275 L,

Number of Moles of NaCl = 0.150 * 0.275 = 0.04125 moles,

Mass = 0.04125 * 58.44 = 2.41065 grams,

Solution - Mass of NaCl = 2.41065 grams

<u><em>Hope that helps!</em></u>

How many gallons of 80% antifreeze solution must be mixed with 60 gallons of 20% antifreeze to get a mixture that is 70% antifre
Anarel [89]
Let A be the 80% solution and B be the 20% solution and P be the produce solution of 70%. Va and Vb and Vp are the volumes of A and B and P respectively.
Va + 60 = Vp
0.7Vp = 0.8Va + 0.2(60)
Substituting the value of Vp from the first equation:
0.7(Va + 60) = 0.8Va + 12
30 = 0.1Va
Va = 300 gallons
