The chemical formula of calcium oxide is Cao. What is the valency of calcium?

Chemistry

Answer:

2

Explanation:

In calcium oxide, the calcium is electropositive in nature and to fulfil its octet, the calcium atoms lose two electrons to form the calcium cations whose valency is 2, hence the corresponding anion, i.e. the oxide anion must also have valency 2 to balance the positive charge on the calcium cation.

Lets look out the Electronic configuration of Calcium(Ca)

  • Z=20

EC:-

\\ \rm\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

  • Valency is 2

To what temperature should 2.3L of a gas at 25degree Celsius be heated in order to expand its volume to 4 L under constant press
lakkis [162]

Answer:

518.52K

Explanation:

Charles law, which describes the direct relationship between the volume and the temperature of a gas when the pressure is constant, will be used for this question. The Charles law equation is:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Where; V1 is the volume of the gas at an initial state (Litres)

T1 is the absolute temperature of the gas at an initial state (Kelvin)

V2 is the volume of the gas at a final state (Litres)

T2 is the absolute temperature of the gas at a final state (Kelvin)

According to the question, V1 = 2.3L, T1 = 25°C, V2 = 4L, T2 = ?

We need to convert the temperature to the absolute temperature unit in Kelvin (K) i.e.

T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15

T(K) = 25°C + 273.15

T1 (K) = 298.15K

To find for T2 in the equation, we make T2 the subject of the formula:

T2 = V2 × T1 / V1

T2 = 4 × 298.15 / 2.3

T2 = 1192.6/2.3

T2 = 518.52

Thus, the temperature must be heated to 518.52K in order to expand to a volume of 4L. This answer is in accordance to Charles law that the volume increases with increase in temperature and vice versa.
