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!

kumpel [21]

While treating food with gamma rays kills microorganism by damaging their DNA, the energy of gamma rays rips off electrons from atoms hence ionizing them (causing free radicals). However, gamma rays do not make the food atoms radioactive. The body has a natural mechanism of riding the body of free radicals. However, large quantities of radicals in the body can cause damage.

A 1.24g sample of a hydrocarbon, when completely burned in an excess of O2 yields 4.04g Co2 and 1.24g H20. Draw plausible struct

arsen [322]

Answer:

Plausible structure has been given below

Explanation:

Molar mass of $CO_{2}$ is 44 g/mol and molar mass of $H_{2}O$ is 18 g/mol
Number of mole = (mass/molar mass)

4.04 g of $CO_{2}$ = $\frac{4.04}{44}moles$ $CO_{2}$ = 0.0918 moles of $CO_{2}$

1 mol of $CO_{2}$ contains 1 mol of C atom

So, 0.0918 moles of $CO_{2}$ contains 0.0918 moles of C atom

1.24 g of $H_{2}O$ = $\frac{1.24}{18}moles$ $H_{2}O$ = 0.0689 moles of $H_{2}O$

1 mol of $H_{2}O$ contain 2 moles of H atom

So, 0.0689 moles of $H_{2}O$ contain $(2\times 0.0689)moles$ of $H_{2}O$ or 0.138 moles of $H_{2}O$

Moles of C : moles of H = 0.0918 : 0.138 = 2 : 3

Empirical formula of hydrocarbon is $C_{2}H_{3}$

So, molecular formula of one of it's analog is $C_{4}H_{6}$

Plausible structure of $C_{4}H_{6}$ has been given below.

dlinn [17]

Answer: The unbalanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Unbalanced chemical equation does not follow law of conservation of mass.

In an unbalanced chemical equation, total number of individual atoms on the reactant side will not be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The chemical equation for the reaction of diboron trioxide and magnesium metal follows:

$B_2O_3(s)+Mg(s)\rightarrow B(g)+MgO(s)$

Hence, the unbalanced chemical equation is written above.
