The diagram below shows the atoms involved in forming table salt. Which statement best describes what happens next ?

Ghella [55]

An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.

In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.

Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻

Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium

How many grams of Cl are in 525g of CaCl2

Tema [17]

First we determine the moles CaCl2 present:

525g / (110.9g/mole) = 4.73 moles CaCl2 present

Based on stoichiometry, there are 2 moles of Cl for every mole of CaCl2:
(2moles Cl / 1mole CaCl2) x 4.73 moles CaCl2 = 9.47 moles Cl

Get the mass:
9.47moles Cl x 35.45g/mole = 335.64 g Cl

what's the density of an element if a sample has a mass of 43.2 g and a volume of 96.5 mL. (0.45 g/mL)

lisov135 [29]

To find the answer you need to use the formula that will help you to find the density. Density = mass/volume
d = 43.2g/96.5mL = 0.45g/mL

A piece of wood has a labeled length value of 63.2 cm. You measure its length three times and record the following data: 63.1 cm

Ulleksa [173]

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

Accepted value is true value.

Measured values is calculated value.

In the question given Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm

Given Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm , 63.0 cm , 63.7 cm

1) Percent error (%) for first measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.1 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.1 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{0.1}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00158\times 100$

Percent error = 0.158 %

2) Percent error (%) for second measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.0 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.0 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{0.2}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00316\times 100$

Percent error = 0.316 %

3) Percent error (%) for third measurement.

Accepted value (true value) = 63.2 cm, Measured(calculated values) = 63.7 cm

Percent error (%)= $\frac{\left | Accepted value - Measured value \right |}{Accepted value}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | 63.2 - 63.7 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{\left | -0.5 \right |}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = \frac{(0.5)}{63.2}\times 100$

$Percent error = 0.00791\times 100$

Percent error = 0.791 %

Percent error for each measurement is :

63.1 cm = 0.158%

63.0 cm = 0.316%

63.7 cm = 0.791%
