Calcium would lose 2 electrons when forming an ionic bond, so it’s new electron configuration would be 2-8-8. it loses 2 because it’s closer to having a full valence shell by losing the 2

zaharov [31]
A ph higher than 7 is basic so you can eliminate a.  The indicator can be used to measure both acids and bases so you can eliminate c.   Hydrogen ions are from acids, so the answer is that the powder decreased the hydrogen ions in the water.

A uniform meter rule with a mass of 200g is suspended at zero mark pivotes at 22.0cm mark. calculate the mass of the rule.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The mass of the rule is 56.41 g  

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object suspended at zero mark, m₁ = 200 g

pivot of the uniform meter rule = 22 cm

Total length of meter rule = 100 cm

0                          22cm                                  100cm

-------------------------Δ------------------------------------

↓                                                                       ↓

200g                                                                 m₂  

Apply principle of moment

(200 g)(22 cm - 0)     = m₂(100 cm - 22 cm)

(200 g)(22 cm) = m₂(78 cm)

m₂ =  (200 g)(22 cm)  / (78 cm)

m₂ = 56.41 g  

Therefore,  the mass of the rule is 56.41 g
