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

Chemistry
1 answer:

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.

2 HI(g) ⇄ H2(g) + I2(g) Kc = 0.0156 at 400ºC 0.550 moles of HI are placed in a 2.00 L container and the system is allowed to rea

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Moles of HI = 0.550 moles

Volume of container = 2.00 L

\text{Initial concentration of HI}=\frac{0.550}{2}=0.275M

For the given chemical equation:

                          2HI(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+I_2(g)

<u>Initial:</u>                  0.275

<u>At eqllm:</u>           0.275-2x      x         x

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=\frac{[H_2][I_2]}{[HI]^2}

We are given:

K_c=0.0156

Putting values in above expression, we get:

0.0156=\frac{x\times x}{(0.275-2x)^2}\\\\x=-0.0458,0.0275

Neglecting the negative value of 'x' because concentration cannot be negative

So, equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas = x = 0.0275 M

Hence, the concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M

State one advantage of using solar energy instead of burning fossil fuels to produce thermal energy for your home
Pachacha [2.7K]
Solar energy will not run out (unless the sun burns out), but the supply of fossil fuels we use is slowly depleting. Burning fossil fuel also releases greenhouse gas into the air, which is bad for the atmosphere.

It took 55 days for a radioactivity of 1.75 x 1012 Bq to remain 0.135 Ci. What is the half-life of this radioactivity?
Mnenie [13.5K]

From the calculations, the half life of the material is 6.5 days.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The term radioactivity has to do with the spontaneous disintegration of a specie.

Uisng the formula;

N=Noe^-kt

N= amount at time t = 0.135 Ci or 4.995 ×10^9 Bq

No = amount initially present =  1.75 x 10^12 Bq

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 55 days

Hence;

4.995 ×10^9  = 1.75 x 10^12e^-55k

4.995 ×10^9/1.75 x 10^12 = e^-55k

2.85 * 10^-3 = e^-55k

ln2.85 * 10^-3 = -55k

k = ln2.85 * 10^-3/-55

k = 0.1066 day-1

Half life = 0.693/ 0.1066 day-1

= 6.5 days
