Question 9

How many molecules are present in 2.00 moles of $$\mathrm{CO_2$}$$? (Avogadro's number $$= 6.022 	imes 10$$^{23}$$ molecules/mol)

Accepted Answer

$$1.20 	imes 10$$^{24}$$ molecules

Question 10

Which of the following best explains why the formula for calcium chloride is $$\mathrm{$$CaCl_2$$}$$?

Accepted Answer

Calcium forms $$\mathrm{Ca$$^{2+}$$}$$ ions and chlorine forms $$\mathrm{Cl^-}$$ ions, so two chloride ions are needed to balance the charge of one calcium ion.
