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.

A gas occupies 525 mL at a pressure of 45.0 kPa. What would the volume of the gas be at a pressure of 65.0 kPa
choli [55]

Answer:

The volume of the gas at a pressure of 65.0 kPa would be 363 mL

Explanation:

Boyle's Law is a gas law that relates the pressure and volume of a certain amount of gas, without temperature variation, that is, at constant temperature.

Boyle's law states that the pressure of a gas in a closed container is inversely proportional to the volume of the container, when the temperature is constant. In other words, the product P · V remains constant at the same temperature:

P*V=k

Being P1 and V1 the pressure and volume in state 1 and P2 and V2 the pressure and volume in state 2 are fulfilled:

P1*V1=P2*V2

In this case:

  • P1= 45 kPa= 45,000 Pa (being 1 kPa=1,000 Pa)
  • V1= 525 mL= 0.525 L (being 1 L=1,000 mL)
  • P2= 65 kPa= 65,000 Pa
  • V2= ?

Replacing:

45,000 Pa* 0.525 L= 65,000 Pa*V2

Solving:

V2=\frac{45,000 Pa* 0.525 L}{65,000 Pa}

V2=0.363 L=363 mL

<u><em>The volume of the gas at a pressure of 65.0 kPa would be 363 mL</em></u>

t's a hot sunny day and you decide to go for a drive. When you open your car door, it's a lot hotter inside than outside. Why is
elena55 [62]
This is because air is trapped inside the car and it heats up to the same temperature of the car. Think of the car as a greenhouse.

As Nicole walks to her dorm room after a study group in the library she sees a backpack being stolen. The neurotransmitter activated during this emergency situation is a. norepinephrine.

High levels of norepinephrine can also lead to headaches, high blood sugar, and sleep disturbances. Too much norepinephrine also causes anxiety, high blood pressure and heart rate, and organ stress. Drug withdrawal, chronic renal disease, and mental illnesses like PTSD can also result in high norepinephrine levels. Neurons discharge neurotransmitter, which are chemical messengers, into the synapse through synaptic vesicles. Some neurotransmitter work by increasing the neuron's negative electrical charge, which makes it less likely to activate. This is a deterrent effect. Serotonin is an example of this.
