Answer:

CaCl2.

Explanation:

Ions may be defined as the elements that acquires positive or negative charge over them. Two main types of ions are cations and the anions that are formed by the gain or loss of the element.

The calcium has two positive charge over it and contains Ca²+. The chloride contains one negative charge over it and exists as Cl^{-1}.

The chemical formula will be :

Ca²+     Cl^{-1}.

+2               -1  (cross multiply)

CaCl2.

Thus, the formula is CaCl2.

The answer is 49.92%

Let's use the <span>Hardy-Weinberg principle:
p + q = 1
p</span>² + 2pq + q² = 1
<span>
where:
p - the frequency of dominant allele G
q - </span>the frequency of recessive allele g
p² - the frequency of homozygous dominant individuals GG with colour green
2pq - the frequency of heterozygous individuals Gg with colour green
p² - the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals gg with color brown

23% of the population is brown: p² = 23% = 0.23
p = √(p²) = √0.23 = 0.48

p = 0.48
p + q = 1
0.48 + q = 1
q = 1 - 0.48 = 0.52

<span>The percentage of the population that is expected to be heterozygous is 2pq:
2pq = 2 * p * q = 2 * 0.48 * 0.52 = 0.4992 = 49.92%</span>
