When dissolved in water, a neutral molecule of calcium chloride dissociates into three ions - one calcium ion and two chloride i

ons. Each chloride ion has one negative elementary charge unit. What is the charge on the calcium ion, in elementary units?

Explanation:

Calcium chloride is an ionic compound as it is formed by transfer of an electron to each chlorine atom.

So, being an ionic compound calcium chloride is able to dissociate completely into water.

Hence, the dissociation reaction will be as follows.

         CaCl_{2}(s) \rightarrow Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2Cl^{-}(aq)

Since, two electrons has been lost by single calcium atom. Therefore, calcium atom will have a charge of +2.

Thus, we can conclude that the charge on the calcium ion, in elementary units is +2.

An 80 kg long jumper in flight accelerates at a rate of 10 m/s^2. What is the force of the long jumper
Katarina [22]

Answer:

F = 800 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 80 Kg

Acceleration = 10 m/s²

Force = ?

Solution:

Formula:

<em>F = m × a </em>

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now we will put the values in formula:

<em>F = m × a </em>

F = 80 kg <em>× </em>10 m/s²

F = 800 kg.m/s²

kg.m/s² = N

F = 800 N

Calcula la masa atómica del Hierro y las partículas subatómicas de cada uno de sus isótopos. Fe-54 (5.82%), Fe-56 (91.66%), Fe-5
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

La masa atómica del hierro es 55.847 gramos por mol.

Explanation:

Las masas molares de Fe_{54}, Fe_{56}, Fe_{57} y Fe_{58} son 53.940 gramos por mol, 55.935 gramos por mol, 56.935 gramos por mol y 57.933 gramos por mol, respectivamente. La masa atómica del hierro se determina mediante el siguiente promedio ponderado:

M_{Fe} = \frac{5.82}{100}\times \left(53.940\,\frac{g}{mol} \right)+\frac{91.66}{100}\times (55.935\,\frac{g}{mol})+\frac{2.19}{100}\times \left(56.935\,\frac{g}{mol} \right)+\frac{0.33}{100}\times \left(57.933\,\frac{g}{mol} \right)

M_{Fe} = 55.847\,\frac{g}{mol}

La masa atómica del hierro es 55.847 gramos por mol.

Elements that have the following qualities: Lustrous, Solid at Room Temperatures, They react and form Basic Compounds, Great con
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

They are classified as METALS.

Explanation:

Elements are simple substances that cannot be chemically broken down into smaller substances. Based on different characteristics, they are classified into 3 namely:

- metals

- non metals and

- metalloid( mainly act as semi- conductor).

METALS are the type of elements that loses electrons to form positive ion, that is, they are electropositive elements. They are distinguished by the following characteristics:

- LUSTROUS: they have the ability to reflect light from its surface.

- At room temperature: Metals are solid are room temperature with the exception of Mercury which is liquid at room temperature.

- They react and form Basic Compounds

- Great conductor: most metals are great conductors of heat and electricity because they possess free electrons.

- Melting Point: they have high melting points.

If the temperature is 80° outside does the air transfer more or less thermal energy to a thermometer then if it is 60°
kati45 [8]
Less, because thermal energy is heat so if it gets colder there is less thermal energy.
