Why are there 2 chloride ions for every 1 calcium in calcium chloride

Chemistry

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Calcium is divalent. This means that it donates two electrons during ionic bond formation. Since chlorine atom can only accept one electron during ionic bond formation, two chlorine atoms must accept the two electrons donated by calcium.

For this purpose, each time CaCl2 is formed, there must be two chlorine atoms for each calcium atom.

A student used 1.168g of an unknown weak acid and titrated it against 28.75 mL of 0.105M NaOH to reach the equivalence point. Wh

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The molar mass of the unknown acid is 386.8 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the weak acid = 1.168 grams

volume of NaOH = 28.75 mL = 0.02875 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.105 M

Since we only know 1 equivalence point, we suppose the acid is monoprotic

Step 2: Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = molarity NaOH * volume NaOH

Moles NaOH = 0.105 M * 0.02875 L

Moles NaOH = 0.00302 moles

We need 0.00302 moles of weak acid to neutralize the NaOH

Step 3: Calculate molar mass of weak acid

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 1.168 grams / 0.00302 moles

Molar mass = 386.8 g/mol

The molar mass of the unknown acid is 386.8 g/mol

given that the speed of light is 2.998 x 108 m/s, what is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 3.55 x 10-8 meters

Vesna [10]

Frequency, f = v / λ

f = 2.998 * 10⁸ / 3.55*10⁻⁸

f = 8.445 * 10¹⁵ Hz.

What is the percent yield of O2 if 10.2 g of O2 is produced from the decomposition of 17.0 g of H2O?

yawa3891 [41]

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

2H2O = 2H2 + O2

We are given the amount of water used in the decomposition reaction. This will be our starting point.

17.0 g H2O (1 mol H2O/ 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2/2 mol H2O) ( 32.00 g O2/1mol O2) = 15.09 g O2

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield x 100

Percent yield =10.2 g / 15.09 g x 100

Percent yield = 67.58%

muminat

Answer:

d. its effective nuclear charge is lower than the other noble gases.

Explanation:

Xenon belongs to group O on the periodic table. Most of the elements here are unreactive.

Due to the large size of Xenon, the outermost electrons have very low effective nuclear charge. Effective nuclear charge is the effect of the positive charges of the nucleus on the electrons in orbits. This effect decreases outward as atomic shell increases.

Xenon has a very large atomic radius and there is weak a nuclear charge on the outermost electrons. The more electronegative elements would be able to attract some of its outermost electrons easily and form chemical bonds with xenon much more readily.
