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

Chemistry
1 answer:
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Elemental exonium (not a real element) consists of two major isotopes abundance mass 18% 98 amu 82% 112 amu what is the atomic w
pishuonlain [190]
In general chemistry, isotopes are a group of substances that belong to the same element. An element is characterized in the periodic table by their atomic number, which is the number of protons in an atom. Therefore, these substances have the same atomic numbers, but differ in mass numbers. Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. 

To determine the atomic weight of an element, you take the average weight of all the existent isotopes of that said element. The calculation would require to multiply the exact mass of the isotope to its abundance. Then, sum them all up.

Atomic weight = 98(0.18) + 112(0.82)
Atomic weight = 109.48 amu

A 0.187 M weak acid solution has a pH of 3.99. Find Ka for the acid. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

5.56 × 10⁻⁸

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Concentration of the weak acid (Ca): 0.187 M
  • pH of the solution: 3.99

Step 2: Calculate the concentration of H⁺

We will use the following expression.

pH = -log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -3.99 = 1.02 × 10⁻⁴ M

Step 3: Calculate the acid dissociation constant (Ka)

We will use the following expression.

Ka = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2} }{Ca} = \frac{(1.02 \times 10^{-4})^{2} }{0.187} = 5.56 \times 10^{-8}

Which of the following statements regarding glucose is FALSE?a) Glucose is the main component of starch and glycogen.b) Glucose
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are one of the macro molecules that are consumed by living organisms. The end product of carbohydrate is glucose. Glucose is a very important fuel that the body cells used to produce energy, which they use to carry out their daily activities. Glucose is also known as blood sugar and it is the only fuel that living cells can use for the production of ATP. Other food macro molecules such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose if there is a need for that. Glucose is always stored in the body in form of glycogen.

The statement given in option C about glucose is wrong because glucose is a monosaccharide and not a disaccharide.

Calculate the final Celsius temperature when 634 L at 21 °C is compressed to 307 L.
Illusion [34]

Answer:

- 130.64°C.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

<em>V₁T₂ = V₂T₁</em>

<em></em>

V₁ = 634.0 L, T₁ = 21.0°C + 273 = 294.0 K.

V₂ = 307.0 L, T₂ = ??? K.

<em>∴ T₂ = V₂T₁/V₁ </em>= (307.0 L)(294.0 K)/(634.0 L) = <em>142.36 K.</em>

<em>∴ T₂(°C) = 142.36 K - 273 = - 130.64°C.</em>
