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

Chemistry
1 answer:
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]3 years ago

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.

Group 2A metal oxides react with water to produce hydroxides. When 35.55 g of CaO are placed into 125 mL of water (d= 1.000 g/mL
Vika [28.1K]
Answer is: mass of calcium hydroxide is 46.98 grams.
Balanced chemical reaction: CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂.
m(CaO) = 35.55 g.
n(CaO) = m(CaO) ÷ M(CaO).
n(CaO) = 35.55 g ÷ 56 g/mol.
n(CaO) = 0.634 mol; limiting reactant.
m(H₂O) = 125 mL · 1.000 g/mL.
m(H₂O) = 125 g.
n(H₂O) = 125 g ÷ 18 g/mol.
n(H₂O) = 6.94 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(CaO) : n(Ca(OH)₂) = 1 : 1.
n(Ca(OH)₂) = 0.634 mol.
m(Ca(OH)₂) = 0.634 mol · 74.1 g/mol = 46.98 g.

Lonic bonds form between oppositely charged
fomenos

answer:

ionic bonds form between oppositely charged ions

explanation:

  • an ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
  • ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal.
  • a covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.

What mass of CCl4 is required to prepare a 0.25 m solution using 115 g of hexane? (molar mass of ccl4 = 153.81 g/mol and molar m
natka813 [3]

4.42 g mass of CCl4 is required to prepare a 0.25 m solution using 115 g of hexane.

It's easy to find the molecular mass of a compound with these steps: Determine the molecular formula of the molecule. Use the periodic table to determine the atomic mass of each element in the molecule. Multiply each element's atomic mass by the number of atoms of that element in the molecule.

The molar mass of any compound can be found out by adding the relative atomic masses of each element present in that particular compound.

Hexane is an organic compound, a straight-chain alkane with six carbon atoms and has the molecular formula C₆H₁₄.

Therefore,

⇒ 0.115 g of Hexane x (0.25 mol CCl4/1 mol hexane) x (153.81 g of CCl4/1 mol CCl4) = 4.42g CCl4.
