Calcium chloride forms an ionic compound with a regularly arranged lattice of oppositely charged ions.

The Na+ and Cl- ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces.

Hope that helps

Explanation:

As we known that an ionic solid is a solid whose atoms chemically combine together by transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

For example, $CaCl_{2}$ is an ionic solid because transfer of electrons take place from calcium to chlorine.

As a result, calcium atom has a partial positive change and chlorine atom has a partial negative charge. Hence, there will be strong intermolecular forces of attraction between the two because opposite charges attract each other.

Therefore, particles will be arranged in a regular crystal lattice of opposite charges.

In which orbitals would the valence electrons for carbon c. be placed?

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: 2s and 2p

Explanation: Carbon is an element with atomic number of 6 and thus contains 6 electrons. The electrons are filled in order of increasing energies and follows Afbau's rule.The electrons are singly filled first in each orbital having same spin, then only pairing occurs. This rule was known as Hund's Rule.

The valence electrons are the electrons which are present in last shell. Thus valence electrons are 4, two in s and 2 in p orbitals.

$C: 6:1s^22s^22p_x^12p_y^1$

The interior of a refrigerator has a volume of 0.600 m3. the temperature inside the refrigerator in 282 k, and the pressure is 1

Dafna11 [192]

In this instance we can use the ideal gas law equation to find the number of moles of gas inside the refrigerator
PV = nRT
where
P - pressure - 101 000 Pa
V - volume - 0.600 m³
n - number of moles
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 J/mol.K
T - temperature - 282 K
substituting these values in the equation
101 000 Pa x 0.600 m³ = n x 8.314 J/mol.K x 282 K
n = 25.8 mol
there are 25.8 mol of the gas
to find the mass of gas
mass of gas = number of moles x molar mass of gas
mass = 25.8 mol x 29 g/mol = 748.2 g
mass of gas present is 748.2 g

A bottle containing 1,665 g of sulfuric acid (H2SO4, 98.08 g/mol) was spilled in a laboratory. The emergency spill kit contained

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

A. Yes, there is more than enough sodium carbonate.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the given reaction which is:

$H_2SO_4(aq) + Na_2CO_3(s) \rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq) + CO_2(g) + H_2O(l)$

By stoichiometry, one computes the grams of sodium carbonate that will neutralize 1,665 g of sulfuric acid as shown below:

$1,665gH_2SO_4*\frac{1molH_2SO_4}{98.08gH_2SO_4}*\frac{1molNa_2CO_3}{1molH_2SO_4} *\frac{105.99gNa_2CO_3}{1molNa_2CO_3}*\frac{1kgNa_2CO_3}{1000gNa_2CO_3}\\m_{Na_2CO_3}=1.80gNa_2CO_3$

Thus, the available mass is 2.0 kg so 0.2 kg are in excess, therefore: A. Yes, there is more than enough sodium carbonate.

Best regards.

A vessel contained N2, Ar, He, and Ne. The total pressure in the vessel was 987 torr. The partial pressures of nitrogen, argon,

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The partial pressure of neon in the vessel was 239 torr.

Explanation:

In all cases involving gas mixtures, the total gas pressure is related to the partial pressures, that is, the pressures of the individual gaseous components of the mixture. Put simply, the partial pressure of a gas is the pressure it exerts on a mixture of gases.

Dalton's law states that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert if it were alone. Then:

PT= P1 + P2 + P3 + P4…+ Pn

where n is the amount of gases present in the mixture.

In this case:

PT=PN₂ + PAr + PHe + PNe

where:

PT= 987 torr
PN₂= 44 torr
PAr= 486 torr
PHe= 218 torr
PNe= ?

Replacing:

987 torr= 44 torr + 486 torr + 218 torr + PNe

Solving:

987 torr= 748 torr + PNe

PNe= 987 torr - 748 torr

PNe= 239 torr

The partial pressure of neon in the vessel was 239 torr.

On a trip to the natural history museum you find two minerals that are similar in color. You can see from their chemical formula

lianna [129]

Answer:Yes they are in the same mineral group

Explanation:zinc is the central elements there. The rest of the elements are present as impurities due to where it was found. Like carbon is can be found in the soil, silicon with oxygen is basically sand, hydrogen is in the atmosphere and also in water and soil too. So apart from zinc, the rest are normal day to day elements.
