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.

Hope this helps... 0_0

Lets look out the Electronic configuration of Calcium(Ca)

  • Z=20

EC:-

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

  • Valency is 2

Answer:

thats one hint. but for 1 it will produce lava

Explanation:

number 2

some of the Earth's grandest mountains are composite volcanoes--sometimes called stratovolcanoes. They are typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones of large dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs and may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases

How do waves interact with matter ?
velikii [3]
Waves interact with matter in several ways. The interactions occur when waves pass from one medium to another. Besides bouncing back like an echo, waves may bend or spread out when they strike a new medium. These three ways that waves may interact with matter are called reflection, refraction, and diffraction.

The tall trees much of the sun
have you ever been in a forest? if you have, you’ve probably noticed that it’s usually very shady, and not a lot of sunlight hits the ground. That’s cause the tall trees are so dense, the sunlight doesn’t reach the ground

While you are using a battery, the cell reaction is going a) forward, b) backward, c) at equilibrium, d) TEXASIN all possible
polet [3.4K]

Answer:Cell reaction is going forward.

Explanation:

For any chemical reaction to be spontaneous or to move in forward direction the ΔG ,the Gibbs free energy must be negative.

The cell potential of a battery is positive for a spontaneous reaction, so for a battery to give output its cell potential must be positive.

Thermodynamics and electro-chemistry are related in the following manner:

ΔG=-nFE

n=number of electrons involved

F=Faradays constant

E=cell pottential of battery

so from the above equation ΔG would only be negative when E cell that is the cell potential is positive.

For a battery which is being used its cell potential is positive and hence the ΔG would be negative. So the cell reaction occurring would be in forward direction as ΔG is negative.

when the cell potential Ecell is 0 then ΔG is also zero then the reaction occurring in battery would be at equilibrium.

When the cell potential Ecell is - then ΔG is positive and the reaction would be occurring backwards.
