Explain why calcium combines in a different ratio to a fluoride ion versus an oxide ion.

Chemistry

Answer:

This is due the different charges of fluoride and oxide ions.

Explanation:

When calcium reacts it is oxidized to Ca²⁺. In the same way, fluoride ion is reduced to F⁻ and oxide ion to O²⁻.

When these ions are combined, the molecule must be neutral. That means 2 ions of F⁻ are necessaries and just 1 O²⁻ ion will reacts producing:

CaF₂ and CaO.

The different charges of these ions is the reason why calcium will combine in different ratios.

Ocean water contains 3.5 % NaCl by mass. What mass of ocean water in grams contains 46.8 g of NaCl?
Luda [366]

Answer:

1.3 kg

Explanation:

Mass of ocean water = mass of NaCl × (mass of ocean water/mass NaCl).

The % NaCl tells us there are 3.5 g NaCl/100 g ocean water or 100 g ocean water/3.5 g NaCl.

Mass of ocean water = 46.8 × (100/3.5)

Mass of ocean water = 46.8 × 28.6

Mass of ocean water = 1300 g = 1.3 kg

<em>Note</em>: The answer can have only <em>two significant figures</em> because that is all you gave for the percentage of NaCl.

Stephans mother cuts a twig from a rose bush and plants it in the soil. After a few days, Stephan observes a new plant growing.
mixer [17]

Answer:

This depict that the growth of the new plant has taken place due to asexual form of reproduction.

Explanation:

A procedure in which new offspring is generated from a single parent without involving sex cells or gametes is known as asexual reproduction. One of the asexual forms of reproduction in plants is the artificial propagation of plants. The three general procedures of artificial propagation of plants are layering, cuttings, and grafting.  

In cutting, a novel plant is developed by incising a small section of a plant that can be anything comprising bud on it. This section of the plant is then watered and grown into soil, and after some days a new plant begins to grow.
