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?
Chemistry

Mashcka [7]2 years ago
8 0

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.

Why does a raindrop accelerate as it falls to the earth?
allochka39001 [22]
Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its speed. When a raindrop is falling down from the clouds due to gravity, the veloicty is pretty much fast, however air resistance comes in action and slows the droplet down... it gives it a constant speed until it hits the ground

92 grams of ethanol,C2H5OH, is dissolved in 1 liter of solution. Determine the molarity (M)
const2013 [10]

Answer:  1.997 M

Explanation:

molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution or M = \frac{mol}{L}

first we have to find our moles of solute (mol), which you can find by dividing the mass of solute by molar mass of solute

mass of solute: 92 g

molar mass of solute: 46.08 g/mol

let's plug it in:

\frac{92 g}{46.08 g/mol} = 1.997 mol

next, we plug it into our original equation:

\frac{1.997mol}{1 L} = 1.997 M
