Answer:

Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

In chemistry, the net ionic equation is a way to write a chemical reaction whereas you write only the ions that are involved in the reaction.

When calcium chloride, CaCl₂ reacts with sodium hydroxide, NaOH to produce Ca(OH)₂ the only ions involved in the reaction are Ca²⁺ and OH⁻, thus, the balanced net ionic equation is:

<em>Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻ → Ca(OH)₂(s)</em>

<em>Cl⁻ and Na⁺ are not involved in the reaction and you don't have to write them.</em>

What is the general formula for the homologous series that includes ethene?

Masja [62]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The common formula of the same alkene series is CnH2n, where n is the quantity of atoms of carbon. Owing to the hydrocarbons of alkenes with at least one double carbon relation, the alkene-like sequence starts with ethen C2H4.

Calcium oxide is used to remove the pollutant SO2 from smokestack gases. The overall reaction is:

fgiga [73]

This problem is providing a chemical reaction reaction at equilibrium and its pressure-based equilibrium constant, and thus asks for molecules of SO2 at equilibrium. At the end, the answer turns out to be 1.25x10¹² molecules.

<h3>Chemical equilibrium</h3>

In chemistry, when chemical reactions take place, they do not necessarily go to completion, but can reach a constant-concentration point denominated "equilibrium" where the reaction does not proceed any longer.

In such a way, for the given reaction, one can write the equilibrium expression based on the law of mass action, which sets the products on top, reactants on bottom and ignores both solids and liquids:

$Kp=\frac{1}{p_{SO_2}*p_{O_2}^{1/2}}$

However, in order to calculate this, one needs the partial pressure of O2, defined in similar problems as 0.21 atm for us to find the partial pressure of SO2 first:

$2.38x10^{15}=\frac{1}{p_{SO_2}*(0.21)^{1/2}}\\\\p_{SO_2}=\frac{1}{(2.38x10^{15})(0.21)^{1/2}}\\\\p_{SO_2}=9.17x10^{-16}atm$

Keep in mind this 0.21 atm may vary depending on the problem you were given.

Thus, we obtain the mole fraction of SO2 as follows:

$x_{SO_2}=\frac{9.17x10^{-16}atm}{9.17x10^{-16}atm+0.21atm}=4.37x10^{-15}\\ \\$

Finally, we use this mole fraction to calculate the moles of SO2 in 475 moles of the gas mixture, and then use the Avogadro's number to calculate the molecules:

$molecules=475mol*4.37x10^{-15}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}}{1mol} =1.25x10^{12}molecules$

What is the net charge of an element that has 15 protons, 17 neutrons and 18 electrons?

pentagon [3]

Subtract the number of electrons from the protons. neutrons have no charge so those don't matter in the formula

If 2.0 liters of oxygen gas react with excess carbon monoxide at 273 K and 1.00 atm, how many liters of carbon dioxide can be pr

vlada-n [284]

The given condition is STP, under this condition, gas has a rule of 22.4 L per mole. And the given equation is already balanced. The ratio of mole number is the same as the ratio of the volume and is also the same as the ratio of coefficients. So the answer is 4.0 liters.
