Describe, in terms of electrons, the difference between a calcium atom and a calcium ion

Chemistry
1 answer:
DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago
3 0

The Calcium atom has 2 valence electrons but a Calcium ion will have no electrons because it is a cation ion. Meaning that there are more protons than electrons. Also, the normal calcium symbol is Ca but the calcium ion is Ca²⁺

I hope this wasn't too late

One mole of ANY element contains the:
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

1)The molar mass of an atom is simply the mass of one mole of identical atoms. However, most of the chemical elements are found on earth not as one isotope but as a mixture of isotopes, so the atoms of one element do not all have the same mass.

2)Equally important is the fact that one mole of a substance has a mass in grams numerically equal to the formula weight of that substance. Thus, one mole of an element has a mass in grams equal to the atomic weight of that element and contains 6.02 X 1023 atoms of the element.

If 10.57 g of magnesium reacts completely with 6.96 g of oxygen, what is the percent by mass of oxygen in magnesium oxide? Round
Deffense [45]

Answer:

39.7 %

Explanation:

magnesium + oxygen ⟶ magnesium oxide

   10.57 g         6.96 g               17.53 g

According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the mass of the product must equal the total mass of the reactants.

Mass of MgO = 10.57 + 6.96

Mass of MgO = 17.53 g

The formula for mass percent is

% by mass = Mass of component/Total mass × 100 %

In this case,

% O = mass of O/mass of MgO × 100 %

Mass of O = 6.96 g

Mass of MgO = 17.53 g

% O = 6.96/17.53 × 100

% O = 0.3970 × 100

% O = 39.7 %

What is the mass of 4.40 moles of magnesium chloride, MgCl2?
Darya [45]
Since the number of moles of a substance is the mass divided by the molar mass of the substance, we can just simply multiply the molar mass of magnesium chloride by the number of moles, which is 4.40 in this case.

To find the molar mass, refer to the periodic table for the relative atomic mass of Mg and Cl and add them together. Since there’s 2 chloride ions in MgCl2, double the relative atomic mass of Cl when adding.

24.31 + 35.45x2
=95.21

Now just multiply 95.21 to 4.40mol, which you’ll get 418.9g (corrected to 3 significant figures)
