Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Explanation:

Calcium is the 20th element. It has 20 electrons in it's neutral state. The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2

However in the compound; calcium chloride, it does not exist in it's neutral state.

CaCl2 --> Ca2+   +   Cl-

In Ca2+ state, it has lost two electrons, The total number of electrons becomes; 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.

The electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

If 20 grams of zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid, how much zinc chloride is produced?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Assuming there is excess acid, the equation for the reaction is Zn + 2HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2.
Mols of zinc = 20/65 (mass/relative atomic mass)
Ratio of Zn : ZnCl2 = 1 : 1
Hence mols of Zinc = mols of Zinc chloride
Mass of ZnCl2 = (20/65)(65+71)
= 41.8g
