4 0

Answer:

a. It will accept one electron to complete its outer shell.

Explanation:

Chlorine is in Group 17, so it has <em>seven valence electrons</em>, one short of a complete outer shell.

Thus, it will accept an electron from sodium to complete its outer shell.

A CaCl2 solution is given to increase blood levels of calcium. If a patient receives 6.1 mL of a 12 % (m/v) CaCl2 solution, how
Yuliya22 [10]

Mass of CaCl₂ = 0.732 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The concentration of a substance can be expressed in several quantities such as moles, percent (%) weight / volume,), molarity, molality, parts per million (ppm) or mole fraction. The concentration shows the amount of solute in a unit of the amount of solvent.

\tt \%(m/v)\rightarrow 12\%=\dfrac{mass~CaCl_2}{volume~of~solution}\times 100\%\\\\mass~CaCl_2=12\%\times 6.1\div 100\%\\\\mass~CaCl_2=0.732~g

The molar heat of fusion of platinum (Pt) is 4.700 kcal/mol. How much heat must be added to 85.5 g of solid platinum at its melt
Andre45 [30]
The heat required to completely melt the given substance, platinum, we just have to convert first the given mass in mole and multiply the answer to its molar heat of fusion.. 
                              Hf  = mass x (1/molar mass) x molar heat of fusion
                            Hf = (85.5 g) x (1 mole/195.08 g) x 4.70 kcal/mol
                                   Hf = 2.06 kcal

5. A gas has a pressure of 1.26 atm and occupies a volume of 7.40 L. If the gas
marin [14]

Answer:

0.499atm

Explanation:

The formula is

P1/V1 = P2/V2

so:

1.26atm/7.40L = P2/2.93L

then:

(1.26atm/7.40L)*2.93L = P2

= 0.4988918911atm

Which colorless and odorless gas, produced by radioactive decay of Uranium-238, is considered to be a cancer-causing agent?
DiKsa [7]
B, radon is correct. Interestingly, it often collects in basements from radioactive decay of rocks such as granite that contain uranium. Because it is an unreactive noble gas and because it is denser than air it sits in basements and must be pumped out. It collects in human lungs and is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.
