Answer:

$CaS$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since calcium's oxidation state when forming ionic bonds is +2 and sulfur's oxidation state when bonding those bonds is -2, for the required formula we write:

$Ca^{2+}S^{2-}$

Now, since they have the same charge number, we infer the ionic compound formed when they bond is calcium sulfide:

$CaS$

Best regards!

A rigid tank contains 0.66 mol of oxygen (O2). Find the mass of oxygen that must be withdrawn from the tank to lower the pressur

dsp73

Answer:

12.8 g of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn from tank

Explanation:

Let's assume $O_{2}$ gas inside tank behaves ideally.

According to ideal gas equation- $PV=nRT$

where P is pressure of $O_{2}$ , V is volume of $O_{2}$ , n is number of moles of $O_{2}$ , R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

We can also write, $\frac{V}{RT}=\frac{n}{P}$

Here V, T and R are constants.

So, $\frac{n}{P}$ ratio will also be constant before and after removal of $O_{2}$ from tank

Hence, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{n_{after}}{P_{after}}$

Here, $\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}$ and $P_{after}=17atm$

So, $n_{after}=\frac{n_{before}}{P_{before}}\times P_{after}=\frac{0.66mol}{43atm}\times 17atm=0.26mol$

So, moles of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = (0.66 - 0.26) mol = 0.40 mol

Molar mass of $O_{2}$ = 32 g/mol

So, mass of $O_{2}$ must be withdrawn = $(32\times 0.40)g=12.8g$

What is one way to test whether an unknown solution is acidic or basic?

sertanlavr [38]

Answer: There are several ways. The first that comes to mind is a pH meter. A pH electrode Is lowered into the solution, and (Assuming) the pH Meter has been properly calibrated, and the temperature of the solution is set to the calibration of the Meter, the pH can be read directly from an analogue scale or digital readout. Below 7 is acidic, 7 is Neutral, (like Pure Water), and over 7 is Alkaline, or Basic.

A useful, but less accurate method is the use of any number of “pH Indicator Solutions”, which are essentially a type of various colored dyes that change color within differing pH ranges. Usually, if the pH is unknown, a small amount of solution is removed from the container and tested separately - in a “well plate”, or similar method.

These types of dyes, or Indicator Solutions, can be dried upon strips of “pH indicator Paper”, which, depending upon the type can be very useful when carrying out more precisely arrived at pH tests like Titration.

Just to see if a solution is “Acid” or “Base”, Litmus paper is used; “a Red color shows Acidity, and a Blue color, a Base”; ergo, “An Acid Solution will turn Litmus Paper, Red”.

If a uranium atom undergoes both alpha and gamma decay, what happens to it?

WARRIOR [948]

If a uranium atom undergoes both alpha and gamma decay, then it means that there will be formation of one helium particle which is also known as alpha particle and gamma decay is the radiation or release of energy. Whereas in a radioactive reaction, Uranium-235 absorbs a neutron and splits into two new atoms.

hope this helps
