Hydrogen as it has only 1 proton and therefore only an atomic mass of 1...
Balanced equation:
<span>CaO + 2 HCl --> CaCl2 + H2O </span>
<span>Calculate moles of each reactant: </span>
<span>60.4 g CaO / 56.08 g/mol = 1.08 mol CaO </span>
<span>69.0 g HCl / 36.46 g/mol = 1.89 mol HCl </span>
<span>Identify the limiting reactant: </span>
<span>Moles CaO needed to react with all HCl: </span>
<span>1.89 mol HCl X (1 mol CaO / 2 mol HCl) = 0.946 mol CaO </span>
<span>Because you have more CaO than that available, HCl is the limiting reactant. </span>
<span>Calculate moles and mass CaCl2: </span>
<span>1.89 mol HCl X (1 mol CaCl2 / 2mol HCl) X 111.0 g/mol = 105 g CaCl2</span>
An ionic compound is formed between a metal and a non metal. The metal being electropositive can form a cation by transferring the electron to the electronegative non metal that gains the electrons to form an anion. Both the elements try to get a stable octet configuration by the transfer of electrons. The number of electrons lost by metal will be equal to the number of electrons gained by the non metal. Hence, the magnitude of positive charge on the cation will be equal to the magnitude of negative charge on the anion. Therefore, the overall charge on the compound will be 0
So the correct answer is the sum of all charges in the formula for an ionic compound is 0
Gilbert N. Lewis (1875-1946) was an American physical chemist.
His work with heavy water and resources were adapted by Ernest Lawrence in the development of the cyclotron.
SCIENTIFIC CONTRIBUTIONS
Lewis made many contributions to science. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize 41 times, though he was never awarded the prize.
He discovered covalent bonds and electron pairs. He worked with isotope separation, and became the first person to purify a sample of heavy water. The heavy water was later used as projectiles in Lawrence’s 27-inch cyclotron.
He also made contributions in ideas on relativity and acid-base reactions and coined the term “photon” as the smallest unit of light.
Because alloys are two or more metals mixed into one metal which makes all of the properties of these metals better and stronger.
