The real name of the element CaCl2 is calcium chloride.
Calcium chloride is a compound.
Calcium chloride is a compound, not a chemical element.
No, CaCl2 is not a single displacement reaction. CaCl2 is the chemical formula for calcium chloride, which is a compound composed of calcium and chloride ions. Single displacement reactions involve one element displacing another in a compound.
The formula for calcium chloride is CaCl2. Calcium is a group 2 element with a 2+ charge, and chloride is a group 17 element with a 1- charge. To balance the charges in a neutral compound, two chloride ions are needed for every calcium ion, giving CaCl2.
Calcium chloride (CaCl2) consists of one calcium atom (Ca) and two chlorine atoms (Cl) in each molecule.
Calcium(Ca), being a more reactive element, reacts with FeCl3 to produce CaCl2 and Iron(Fe).3 Ca + 2 FeCl3 ----> 3 CaCl2 + 2Fe
The dissociation equation for CaCl2 in water is: CaCl2 (s) → Ca2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq)
2.430 moles CaCl2 x 110.98 g CaCl2/mole CaCl2 = 269.7 grams (4 sig figs)
The name of CaCl2 is Calcium Chloride
To make CaCl2 and H2O, simply mix calcium chloride (CaCl2) with water (H2O). The calcium chloride will dissolve in the water, forming a solution of CaCl2 and H2O. The chemical equation for this process is: CaCl2 + H2O → CaCl2 · H2O.
There are three atoms in CaCl2 (calcium chloride) - one calcium atom and two chlorine atoms. It might be argued that there are ions inside the molecule instead of atoms. In that case there is one calcium ion and two chlorine ions.
