Answer:

When we say "chlorine wants to gain one electron", we speak of the radical atom. Chlorine as a free radical, Cl⋅ , is the chlorine atom that we say has 7 valence electrons and wants its 8th to form an octet. So, Cl⋅ , chlorine radical, is less stable, and Cl− , chlorine ion, is more stable

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Balanced] Na₂CO₃ (aq) + CaCl₂ (aq) → CaCO₃ (s) + 2NaCl (aq)

[Given] 0.5 g Na₂CO₃ reacted with excess CaCl₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] Na₂CO₃ → 2NaCl

Molar Mass of Na - 22.99 g/mol

Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of Na₂CO₃ - 2(22.99) + 12.01 + 3(16.00) = 105.99 g/mol

Molar Mass of NaCl - 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoichiometry</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 0.5 \ g \ Na_2CO_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.99 \ g \ Na_2CO_3})(\frac{2 \ mol \ NaCl}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3})(\frac{58.44 \ g \ NaCl}{1 \ mol \ NaCl})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 0.551373 \ g \ NaCl$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 1 sig fig.</em>

0.551373 g NaCl ≈ 0.6 g NaCl

What are the steps to Photosynthesis

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Step 1-Light Dependent. CO2 and H2O enter the leaf.

Step 2- Light Dependent. Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2.

Step 3- Light Dependent. ...

Step 4-Light Dependent.

Step 5-Light independent.

Step 6-Light independent.

What is an energy transformation?

Dafna11 [192]

Energy is invisible yet it's all around us and throughout the universe. Energy can never be made or destroyed, but its form can be converted and changed.
While energy can be transferred or transformed, the total amount of energy does not change – this is called energy conservation.
Energy transformation, also known as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one form to another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform work or provides heat.
When energy is transformed from one form to another, or moved from one place to another, or from one system to another there is energy loss. This means that when energy is converted to a different form, some of the input energy is turned into a highly disordered form of energy, like heat. This consent is known as “hidden energy”.
