Calcium chloride forms an ionic compound with a regularly arranged lattice of oppositely charged ions.

The Na+ and Cl- ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces.

Hope that helps

Explanation:

As we known that an ionic solid is a solid whose atoms chemically combine together by transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

For example, $CaCl_{2}$ is an ionic solid because transfer of electrons take place from calcium to chlorine.

As a result, calcium atom has a partial positive change and chlorine atom has a partial negative charge. Hence, there will be strong intermolecular forces of attraction between the two because opposite charges attract each other.

Therefore, particles will be arranged in a regular crystal lattice of opposite charges.

Answer:

MM = 58.41 g

Explanation:

First, the data we have is according to the hydrogen which is exerting pressure. To solve this, we need to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT (1)

the molar mass of any compound is calculated like this:

MM = m/n (2)

So, from (1) we solve for the moles (n) and then, this value is replace in (2).

However, before we do all that, we need to gather all the correct data.

All the species in the reaction are solid or aqueous state, with the exception of hydrogen, which is gaseous. Hydrogen is collected over water, therefore, is exerting some pressure too. The problem is not indicating if the acid or any other species is exerting pressure, so we will assume that only hydrogen and water are exerting pressure.

The total pressure exerted by the system would be:

P = Pw + PH2 (3)

We already know the total pressure which is 756 torr.

This experiment is taking place at 25 °C (298.15 K), and at this temperature, we have a reported value for water pressure which is 23.8 Torr.

Let's solve for PH2:

PH2 = P - Pw

PH2 = 756 - 23 = 733 Torr

Now, with this value, and the volume and temperature, we can calculate the moles of H2:

n = PV/RT

But first, let's convert the pressure to atm:

PH2 = 733 Torr / 760 torr * 1 atm = 0.9644 atm

now, solving for n:

n = 0.9644 * (0.255) / 0.082 * 298.15

n = 0.0101 moles

Now that we have the moles, we know that the metal and the hydrogen has a mole ratio of 1:1 according to the reaction, so, this means that:

moles M = moles H2 = 0.0101 moles

We have the moles of the metal and the mass, we can calculate the molar mass using expression (2):

MM = 0.590/0.0101

MM = 58.41 g/mol

This is the molar mass of the metal
