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.

Calorimeter containing 1000 grans of water the initial temperature of water is 24.85 degrees . the heat of water is 4.184 j/g de
kvasek [131]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

10.80 ° C

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

From the information given;

Initial temperature of water =  24.85°C

Final temperature of water = 35.65°C

Mass of water = 1000 g

The specific heat of water ,c = 4.184 J/g °C.

The heat capacity of the calorimeter  = 695 J/ °C

Change in temperature ΔT = 35.65°C - 24.85°C

                                             = 10.80°C

Which of the following elements is the smallest?
Oliga [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The atomic radius of elements are used to estimate the sizes of elements. The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state of metals.

To solve this problem we will obtain the atomic radius values of the given elements from a standard atomic radius table;

          Si          111 pm

           P          98 pm

          Cl          79 pm

            S           87pm

pm = picometer

We see that chlorine has the least atomic radius
