Calcium forms ions with a charge of +2. Iodine forms ions with a charge of -1. Which of the following would represent an ionic c
astra-53 [7]

 The   formula that would represent an ionic  compound  that is composed of calcium and iodide ions  is   CaI2

 Explanation

Ionic compound  CaI₂ is formed  when Calcium form cation ( <em>a positively charged ion</em>) by losing 2 electrons while two iodine atoms form  anion ( <em>a negatively charged ion</em>)  by  gaining one electron each.

When writing down   formula of ionic compound, the formula  of cation  is written  first followed by anion  formula. therefore  Ca is written  first  followed by I.

The numeric subscript 2 after I(iodine) indicate that 2 atoms of iodine are involved  in bonding.

Identify the correct net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when solutions of Pb(NO3)2 and NH4Cl are mixed.
Pie

Answer:

Pb2+(aq) + 2Cl–(aq) ----> PbCl2(s)

Explanation:

The net ionic equation shows the main reaction that takes place in a system. Hence, a net ionic equation focusses only on those species that actually participate in the reaction.

For the reaction between Pb(NO3)2 and NH4Cl , the net ionic equation is;

Pb^+(aq) + 2Cl^-(aq) ---> PbCl2(s)

What is the volume of 0.2 moles of neon gas at STP?
eduard

Standard Molar Volume is the volume occupied by one mole of any gas at STP. Remember that "STP" is Standard Temperature and Pressure. Standard temperature is 0 &176:C or 273 K. Standard pressure is 1 atmosphere or 760 mm Hg (also called "torr"). 1 mole of any gas at STP occupies 22.4 liters of volume.
