You will make Calcium Dinitrate or Ca(NO3)2
Ca+2 + NO3-1 = Ca(NO3)2
We need two NO3- to cancel out Na2+: Ca(NO3)2.
What is the balanced equation for the reaction of calcuim hydroxide and nitric acid? . Ca(OH)2 .+..HNO3..=..Ca+2(NO3-1)..+.. H+1OH-1 (water) . Balance charges Ca(OH)2 .+..HNO3..=..Ca(NO3)2..+.. HOH .balance atoms Ca(OH)2… +…HNO3....=..Ca(NO3)2..+.. HOH Balance OH's Ca(OH)2….+.. HNO3….=.. Ca(NO3)2..+..2HOH . Balance H's Ca(OH)2….+..2HNO3..=.. Ca(NO3)2..+..2HOH . Done!!
The species is; Ca(NO3)2 ( NO3(-) is a polyatomic ion and is in parenthesis ) 7.5 grams Ca(NO3)2 (1 mole Ca(NO3)2/164.1 grams)(2 mole N/1 mole Ca(NO3)2)(6.022 X 10^23/1 mole N) = 5.5 X 10^22 atoms of nitrogen
The calcium ion is Ca2+ and the nitrate ion is NO3- and together they form Ca(NO3)2
Ca(NO3)2Number of atoms in the compound:Ca- 1N- 2O- 6Find the atomic masses of all atoms and add:Ca = 40.1N = 2 * 14.0 = 28.0O = 6 * 16.0 = 96.0___________________164.1 gEquation:# moles * added atomic mass = # gramsAnswer:4.2 moles * (164.1 g) = 689.22 grams of Ca(NO3)2
Calcium nitrate - Ca(NO3)2- contain Ca, N and O.
Ca(NO3)2 5.600 grams calcium nitrate ( 1mole Ca(NO3)2/164.1 grams)(2 moles NO3/1 mole Ca(NO3)2) = 6.825 X 10 -2 moles of nitrate ions -----------------------------------------------
The cation of potassium (K+) has the electrical charge 1.
Na, sodium, is in group 1 so it has a +1 charge. NO3, the nitrate polyatomic, has a -1 charge. So, they combine in a 1-1 ratio as NaNO3.
CaO ; 1 atom of Calcium (Ca) 1 atom of oxygen (O)
From its chemical formula, Ca(NO3)2, you can tell that there are two nitrate ions for every calcium atom. Therefore the mole ratio of calcium to nitrate is 1:2. So one could say that the "nitrate content" of calcium nitrate is 2/3 or 66.7%.
