Answer:

The net charge of the ionic compound calcium fluoride is zero (0).

Explanation:

Ionic compounds, such as covalent ones, have zero net charge; this is, they are neutral.

Substances with net positive charge are cations and substances with net negative charge are anions.

The charges in the ionic compound calcium flouride are distributed in this way:

Compound formula: CaF₂

Calcium charge: Ca²⁺: this is, each calcium ion has a 2 positive charge

Fluoride charge: F⁻: each fluoride ion has a 1 negative charge.

Then, the net charge is: 1 × (2+) + 2 × (1-) = +2 - 2 = 0.

So, a two positve charge, from one calcium ion, is equal to two negative charges, from two fluoride tions, yielding a zero net charge.

AveGali [126]

If a lever has a constant force applied at 90∘ to the lever arm at a fixed distance from the pivot point (point of rotation), the torque on the lever is given by Torque = force (at 90∘ to lever arm) × distance to pivot point Force should be perpendicular to the lever arm
Therefore; you would do 15N X 2.0 m = 30 Nm or 30Joules

The decomposition of nitrogen dioxide is described by the following chemical equation:

kow [346]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation will be " $NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}$ ".

Explanation:

The given equation is:

$2NO_{2}\rightarrow 2NO+O_{2}$

Step 1:

$2NO_{2}\rightarrow NO+O$ ...(equation 1)

Step 2:

$NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}$ ...(equation 2)

On adding "equation 1" and "equation 2", we get

⇒ $NO_{2}+NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O+NO+O_{2}$

⇒ $2NO_{2}\rightarrow 2NO+O_{2}$

The second step:

⇒ $NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}$
