Answer:

There are two chloride ions for each calcium ion

Explanation:

The compound has to have an overall neutral charge. Meaning that the positive charges from calcium have to be canceled out by the negative charges of chlorine.

If there are two chloride ions for each calcium ion, the charges would cancel themselves out (2 * -1 would cancel out with +2).

Which statement about atmospheric pressure is false?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

D) With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure increases as well.

Explanation:

Generally when altitude increases, the value of pressure decreases. This shows that pressure is inversely proportional to altitude. For example, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure and vice versa. At very high altitude, the number of molecules of air are smaller than the number of moles of air at very low altitude. Thus, the higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure and the lower the altitude, the higher the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, option (D) is false.

Write, Balance and Label the type of reaction: Potassium Hydroxide plus phosphoric acid yields potassium phosphate and water.
natali 33 [55]

In order to balance this, you have to count each element where the elements in the reactants side and the product side should have equal number of molecules. The balanced reaction is as follows:

 

KOH + H3PO4 = KH2PO4 +H2O

What is the correct balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous ammonium chloride reacts with aqueous barium nit
Setler [38]

Answer:

2NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + 2NH_{4}NO_{3}

Explanation:

In balancing a chemical equation we make sure the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side of the equation equals that on the product side

NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + NH_{4}NO_{3}

The equation above represents an unbalanced equation of the reaction of aqueous ammonium chloride  with aqueous barium nitrate .we can balance this equation by adding the right coefficients to reactants and product.

2NH_{4}Cl + Ba(NO_{3} )_{2} ⇒  BaCl_{2} + 2NH_{4}NO_{3}
