Answer:

Explanation:

The structure of water molecule is very simple . it's has a central oxygen atom ( which has a valency of two ) . Since it's valency is two , it can two hydrogen atoms to both of it's sides ( which have a valency of one )

Structure :

H-O-H

Water is known as amphoteric substance , as it has the ability to act as either a base or an acid ( depending upon the substance it's reacting with ) . On top of that a very electro negative oxygen atom reacts with an electro positive hydrogen gives the molecule a strong bonding force ( which results in a molecule that is held by hydrogen bonding , which is a very strong attraction) . And when its bonded with some strong electro forces of attraction , Guess what happens ? It's boiling point increases !!!! ( It means you have to heat it up more to boil water ) . Which also means it has high heat of vaporization ( to get water into it's vapour state ) .all of that just because it has high forces if attraction between one another ...

A water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to an oxygen atom, and its overall structureis bent. This is because the oxygen atom, in addition to forming bonds with the hydrogen atoms, also carries two pairs of unshared electrons.

Why must power plants spend so much money and be so cautious in dealing with these materials?
shepuryov [24]
If you are referring to nuclear power plants and radioactive materials, then there is a high necessity to be cautious and stay safe because only by being safe you can prevent accidents like those caused in Ukraine and Japan. Unlike other types of power plants whose destruction in case of an accident can relatively easily be contained, nuclear power plants are extremely difficult to manage if things go out of hand since you can destroy the air around it, the water, the food by ruining the soil, and many other things.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction. Phases are optional. Solid calcium chlorate decomposes to form
Tanya [424]

Answer:

  • Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Explanation:

1)<u> Word equation (given)</u>

  • <em>calcium chlorate (solid) → solid calcium chloride (solid)  + oxygen (gas)</em>

2) <u>Chemical formulae of the reactant and products</u>:

  • <em><u>Calcium chlorate</u></em><em>: </em>

The most common oxidation states of chlorine are -1, +1, +3, +5, +7.

The suffix ate in chlorate means that chlorine atom is with the third lowest oxidation state (counting only the positive states). So, this is +5.

The oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chlorate is Ca(ClO₃)₂

  • <u><em>Calcium chloride</em></u>

The suffix ide in chloride means that chlorine is with oxidation state -1. Again the oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chloride is CaCl₂

  • <u><em>Oxygen</em></u>

Oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule, so its chemical formula is O₂.

  • <u><em>Phases</em></u>

The symbols s and g (in parenthesis) indicate the solid and gas phases respectively.

3) <u>Chemical equation</u>:

  • Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + O₂ (g)

That equation is not balanced becasue the number of O atoms in the reactant side and in the product side are different.

4)<u> Balanced chemical equation:</u>

Add a 3 as coefficient in front of O₂(g), in the product side to balance:

  • Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Verify that all the atoms are balanced:

Atom    Reactant side      Product side

Ca             1                           1

Cl              2                          2

O              3×2 = 6                2×3 = 6

Conclusion: the equation is balanced and the final answer is:

  • Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)
