1. When carbon dioxide is bubble through a clear solution of calcium hydroxide, a milky solution of calcium carbonate will be formed. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows: 
CO2 + Ca[OH]2 = CaCO3 + H2O.
That is, one mole of carbon dioxide react with one mole of calcium hydroxide to produce one mole each of water and calcium carbonate.

2. An acidic oxide is defined as those compounds of oxygen which react with water to form acids or react with bases to form salts. They are usually oxides of metals or of metals in high oxidation states.
 In the chemical equation given in answer 1, one can easily see that carbon dioxide is an acidic oxide because it reacts with calcium hydroxide [which is a base] to produce calcium carbonate, which is a salt.

alexgriva [62]
Ionic compounds are composed of two ions: a positive and a negative ion. For neutral ionic compounds, these charges cancel out. For example, NaCl is a neutral atom which comes from a strong acid HCl and a strong base NaOH. Because they are both strong, the charges balance out and it comes out as neutral.

When 1.5 grams of magnesium burns, how many grams of magnesium oxide will be formed?
SashulF [63]
The balanced chemical reaction for this would be written as:

2Mg + O2 = 2MgO

We use this reaction and the amount of the reactant given to calculate for the amount of magnesium oxide that is produced. We do as follows:

1.5 g Mg (1 mol / 24.31 g) ( 2 mol MgO / 2 mol Mg ) (40.30 g /1 mol ) = 2.49 g MgO produced

Analysis of an ore of calcium shows that it contains 13.61 g calcium and 21.77 g oxygen in a 46.28-g sample. Calculate the perce
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

29.41% of Calcium and 47.04% of Oxygen

Explanation:

The percent composition of an atom in a molecule is defined as 100 times the ratio between the mass of the atom and the mass of the molecule.

The mass of the molecule of the problem (Ore) is 46.28g. That means the percent composition of Calcium is:

13.61g / 46.28g * 100 = 29.41% of Calcium

And percent composition of Oxygen is:

21.77g / 46.28g * 100 = 47.04% of Oxygen
