What is the formula of the compound formed between chlorine and calcium?
VLD [36.1K]

the formula  of the compound that  is formed  between  chlorine and calcium  is CaCl2


explanation

chlorine (non  metal)  react  with Calcium ( a metal)  to  form an ionic compound  CaCl2

Ionic compound   is formed when metal  loses electrons to form cation ( a  positively charged ion)  while  non metal  gains electrons  to  form anion (  a  negatively  charged ion)

An ionic compound is formed when calcium   metal(Ca) loses two electron to form   Ca2+ cation ,  while   2 chlorine atom  gain  one electron each to form cl- anions.


  • when writing  down  the formula  of ionic compound  cation  symbol  is written first  followed by  anion symbol.

Therefore the formula  of ionic compound formed between chlorine  and calcium is CaCl2

Which substance has a coefficient of 2 when you balance the equation for this redox reaction? cu(s) + hno3(aq) → cu(no3)2(aq) +
Mama L [17]
In this redox reaction, the Cu goes from oxidation state of (0) to (+2), therefore it oxidises. N in HNO₃ goes from oxidation state of (+5) to N in NO with oxidation state of (+2) and becomes reduced. 
Cu acts as the reducing reagent and HNO₃ is the oxidising agent.
oxidation half reaction
Cu ---> Cu²⁺ + 2e  --1)
reduction half reaction 
4H⁺ + 3e + NO₃⁻ ---> NO + 2H₂O --2)
to balance the number of electrons , 1) x3 and 2) x2
3Cu ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 6e
8H⁺ + 6e + 2NO₃⁻ ---> 2NO + 4H₂O 
add the 2 equations 
3Cu + 8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ --->  3Cu²⁺ + 2NO + 4H₂O 
add 6 nitrate ions to both sides to add up to 8 and form acid with 8H⁺ ions
3Cu + 8HNO₃ --->  3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O 
Balanced equation for the redox reaction is as follows;
3Cu(s) + 8HNO₃(aq) → 3Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NO(g) + 4H₂O<span>(l)

NO has a coefficient of 2

Boyle's Law: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

  • P₁ is pressure 1
  • V₁ is volume 1
  • P₂ is pressure 2
  • V₂ is volume 2
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[Given] P₁ = 2.02 atm

[Given] V₁ = 4.0 L

[Given] V₂ = 12.0 L

[Solve] P₂

<u>Step 2: Solve</u>

  1. Substitute in variables [Boyle's Law]:                                                              (2.02 atm)(4.0 L) = P₂(12.0 L)
  2. [Pressure] Multiply:                                                                                           8.08 atm · L = P₂(12.0 L)
  3. [Pressure] [Division Property of Equality] Isolate unknown:                          0.673333 atm = P₂
  4. [Pressure] Rewrite:                                                                                           P₂ = 0.673333 atm

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs as our smallest.</em>

0.673333 atm ≈ 0.67 atm
