in calcium chloride each calcium atom needs to lose two electrons but each chlorine atom needs to gain only one electron. This means that two chlorine atoms react with every one calcium atom to form calcium chloride. So the formula for calcium chloride is CaCl2.
ca = proton number is 20 so the structure would be 2, 8 ,8 ,2
cl = proton number is 17 so the structure would be 2 , 8,7
To make it stable calcium has to lose 2 electrons and chlorine has to gain an electron. However if you add 2 to 7 in the chlorine it will make 9 so it will still be unstable therefore you need two chlorine atoms to share out the 2 atoms in calcium.

How do you make anhydrous calcium chloride from calcium oxide?
2NH4Cl + CaO --> 2NH3 + CaCl2 + H2O
Which is a white solid that produces hiss sound when dipped in water?
Thewhite powdered solid that produces a hissing soundwhen added to water is calcium oxide (lime). When lime reacts with moist hydrogen chloride gas, calciumchloride is formed. CaO + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2O (Calcium Oxide + Hydrogen chloride → Calcium chloride + water)
What is the correct compound name for CaO?
CaO is the chemical formula of calcium oxide.
How does the maximum yield of products for a reaction depend on the limiting reactant?
The best way to answer this question is with an example. Using Calcium oxide reacting with hydrochloric acid, the reaction formula is: CaO + 2HCl ----->CaCl2 + H2O The molecular weight for Calcium Oxide is 56, for Hydrochloric acid is 26.5 and for calcium chloride 110. If you start with only 56g of Calcium oxide but say 10000g of hydrochloric acid, the maximum yield of the product calcium chloride can only ever be 110g. It does not matter how much hydrochloric acid is added. The limiting reactant in this example is the calcium oxide.
How do you write calcium oxide?
The chemical formula of calcium oxide is CaO.
How do you make anhydrous calcium chloride from calcium oxide?
2NH4Cl + CaO --> 2NH3 + CaCl2 + H2O
What is the balanced equation for calcium oxide added to hydrogen chloride yields calcium chloride added to water?
This equation is CaO + 2 HCl -> CaCl2 + H2O.
Calcium reacts with fluorine to form what?
a transfer of electrons from calcium to chlorine
What is the formula for calcium oxide plus hydrochloric acid to give calcium chloride plus water?
CaO + 2HCl -><- CaCl2 + H20 lrn2chemestry plz
What is the balanced equation for the reaction of calcium oxide with hydrochloric acid?
acid + metal oxide -> metal salt + water hydrochloric acid + calcium oxide -> calcium chloride + water 2HCl (aq) + CaO (s) -> CaCl2 (s) + H2O (l)
Why sodium chloride calcium oxide?
If you want to know chemical formulas:Sodium chloride is NaCl.Calcium oxide is CaO.
What is an equation showing how calcium chloride dissociates in water?
CaCl2 + H2O = CaO + 2HCl
What is the balanced symbol equation and the physical state of calcium oxide plus hydrochlroric acid-- calcium chloride plus water?
CaO(aq) + 2HCl(aq) -> CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) An ionic bonded and dissociated compound, calcium oxide, reaction with a fully dissociated strong acid, hydrochloric acid that produces a dissociated salt, calcium chloride and water.
Is (CaO) the compound for Calcium oxide?
Calcium Oxide (CaO) is a compound.
What is the name of the compound CaO?
Calcium Oxide.
Which is a white solid that produces hiss sound when dipped in water?
Thewhite powdered solid that produces a hissing soundwhen added to water is calcium oxide (lime). When lime reacts with moist hydrogen chloride gas, calciumchloride is formed. CaO + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2O (Calcium Oxide + Hydrogen chloride → Calcium chloride + water)
What is the balanced equation for calcium and oxygen gas?
Ca(ClO3)2 --> CaCl2 + 3O2 is the equation for calcium chlorate to calcium chloride + oxygen gas.
