Explain why calcium combines in a different ratio to a fluoride ion versus an oxide ion.

Chemistry

jok3333 [9.3K]2 years ago

Answer:

This is due the different charges of fluoride and oxide ions.

Explanation:

When calcium reacts it is oxidized to Ca²⁺. In the same way, fluoride ion is reduced to F⁻ and oxide ion to O²⁻.

When these ions are combined, the molecule must be neutral. That means 2 ions of F⁻ are necessaries and just 1 O²⁻ ion will reacts producing:

CaF₂ and CaO.

The different charges of these ions is the reason why calcium will combine in different ratios.

A gold wire has a diameter of 1.00 mm. What length of this wire contains exactly 1.00 mol of gold? (density of Au = 17.0 g/cm3)
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 7160 cm

Explanation:

Data

diameter = 1 mm

length = ?

amount of gold = 1 mol

density = 17 g/cm³

Process

1.- Get the atomic mass of gold

Atomic mass = 197 g

then, 197g ------------ 1 mol

2.- Calculate the volume of this wire

density = mass/volume

volume = mass/density

volume = 197/17

volume = 5.7 cm³

3.- Calculate the length of the wire

Volume = πr²h

solve for h

h = volume /πr²

radius = 0.05 cm

substitution

h = 5.7/(3.14 x 0.05²)

h = 5.7 / 0.0025

h = 7159.2 cm ≈ 7160 cm

An atom in the ground state contains a total of 5 electrons 5 protons and 5 neutrons. Which Lewis electron-dot diagram represent
Luba_88 [7]
I don't know if you didn't gave a picture choice or if i didn't get the picture.
But lets call this atom A. Electron dot formula doesn't require Neutron and Protons, its main concern is valance elections.

So atom A has 5 electrons which means 2,3 it has 3 valance electrons. Its dot formula will become
:A.

I hope this helped.

Morant Bay is 33 km south of Port Antonio a pigeon can fly at a speed of 1.2 m s what is the displacement of morant bay from Por
valkas [14]

Answer:

33km due south

Explanation:

Morant Bay is 33km south of Port Antonio;

  Problem: displacement of Morant bay from Port Antonio;

Displacement is a vector quantity. It is the length of path between two position and the direction inclusive.

So, it has magnitude and must be specified with a direction.

  • Therefore, the displacement of Morant Bay from Port Antonio is 33km due south.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction sr(s) + mg2+(aq) ⇌ sr2+(aq) + mg(s) is 2.69 × 1012 at 25°c. calculate e o for a cell m
Mariulka [41]
Sr(s)+Mg²+(aq)→Sr²+(aq)+Mg(s)
Number of e-'s transfered are, n=2. Equilibrium constant,
K=2.69×10∧12
ΔG=-2.303RT logK
R=gasconstant=8.314J/mol-k
T= temperature in K= 25 oC=25+273=298K
The value we get ΔG = -70922.3J. But ΔG = -nFE
n= number of e-'s transfered in the reaction =2
F= farady = 96500C
E=potential of the cell is what?
∴E = ΔG.nF
=-(-70922.3)/2×96500)
=0.367v.

The Lewis representation above depicts a reaction between hydrogen (blue) and a main-group element from group 5A (red). In this
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Each Y atom needs three electrons to complete its octet by forming three bonds to hydrogen. There is one unshared pair of electrons and three bonding pairs of electrons. The bonds in the product are covalent.

Explanation:

Recall that group 5A elements contain five electrons in their outermost shell. These five electrons consists of a lone pair and three electrons that can form three bonds with hydrogen to give YH3 where Y is the group 5A element.

The YH3 molecule contains one lone(unshared) pair of electrons as well as three bonding pairs of electrons. The compounds are covalent.
