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

Tim wants to store 0.122 moles of helium gas at 203 kPa and 401 K. Which is the volume of the helium gas needed for storage?
algol13

 The  volume  of Helium gas needed for storage  is 2.00 L (answer C)


 <u><em> calculation</em></u>

 The volume of Helium is calculated using ideal gas equation

That is Pv =nRT

where;

 P( pressure) = 203 KPa

V(volume)=?

n(number  of moles) =  0.122 moles

R(gas constant) = 8.314  L.Kpa/mol.K

T(temperature)= 401 K

make V the  subject of the formula  by diving both side  by P

V=nRT/p

V={[0.122  moles x 8.314 L. KPa/mol.K  x 401 K]  / 203 KPa} = 2.00 L

A. what is the hybridization of the central atom in cse2?
elixir [45]

The orbital hybridization of the central carbon atom in CSe2 is sp.

In chemical bonding, atomic orbitals may be combined to form appropriate hybrid orbitals suitable for bonding. The orbitals that combine during hybridization must be close enough in energy.

In the compound Cse2, carbon is the central atom bonded to two selenium atoms. The carbon atom in CSe2 is sp hybridized.
