That is Magnesium. its atomic number is 12 and has 2 valence electrons. it will most resemble beryllium (Be)

The atomic number of the element is 12. The name of the element is magnesium. It has two valence electrons. The element it most resemble is Be, beryllium.

looking at the periodic table given in the question, we can see that the element we are looking for belong to group 2, thus, its properties will be similar to that of Be, which belong to the same group. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 2, 8, 2, this implies that, it has two electrons on its outermost shell.

How many grams of CaCl2 are in 250 mL of 2.0 M CaCl2?
Tom [10]
The answer is:  " 56 g CaCl₂ " .
__________________________________________________________

Explanation:
__________________________________________________________
2.0 M CaCl₂  = 2.0 mol CaCl₂ / L  ; 

Since: "M" = "Molarity" (measurement of concentration); 

                  = moles of solute per L {"Liter"} of solution.
__________________________________________________________
Note the exact conversion:  1000 mL = 1 L . 

Given: 250 mL ;   

250 mL = ?  L  ?  ;  


250 mL * (1 L / 1000 L) =  (250/1000) L = 0.25 L . 
___________________________________________________________
 
(2.0 mol CaCl₂ / L ) * (0.25L) = (2.0) * (0.25) mol  = 0.50 mol CaCl₂ ;

We have: 0.50 mol CaCl₂ ;  Convert to "g" (grams):

→ 0.50 mol CaCl₂  .
___________________________________________________________
1 mol CaCl₂ = ? g ?

From the Periodic Table of Elements:

1 mol Ca = 40.08 g

1 mol Cl  =  <span>35.45 g .
</span>
There are 2 atoms of Cl in " CaCl₂ " ;  

→ Note the subscript, "2", in the " Cl₂ " ; 
__________________________________________________________
So, to calculate the molar mass of "CaCl₂" :

40.08 g  +  2(35.45 g) = 

40.08 g  +  70.90 g = 110.98 g ;  round to 4 significant figures; 

                                 → round to 111 g/mol .
__________________________________________________________
So:

→  0.50 mol CaCl₂  = ? g CaCl₂  ? ; 

→  0.50 mol CaCl₂ * (111 g CaCl₂ / mol CaCl₂) ;

                                             = (0.50) * (111 g) CaCl₂ ;

                                             =  55.5 g CaCl₂  ;

                                                → round to 2 significant figures; 

                                                →  56 g CaCl₂ .
___________________________________________________________
The answer is:  " 56 g CaCl₂ " .

Is drying wet clothes a physical or chemical change
grandymaker [24]
Drying clothes is a physical change, because it is not permanent. The clothes could just be wettened again, therefore it is not a chemical change.
