An ionic compound forms when calcium (Z = 20) reacts with iodide (Z = 53). If a sample of the compound contains 7.41021calcium ions, how many iodide ions does it contain?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The amount of iodide ions in the sample is14.81021

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Identify the chemical formula of the ionic compound

The atomic number of calcium (Ca) is 20, so the electronic configuration of Cais 2, 8, 8, 2. So, for attaining a more stable state, Ca easily loses two electrons and form a positive ion, that is,Ca+2

The atomic number of iodine (I) is 53, so the electronic configuration ofI is 2, 8, 18, 8, and 7. Thus, for attaining stability I will gain one electron and form a negative ion, that is,I-

Hence, the chemical formula of the ionic compound isCal2.

02

Relation between the calcium ion and the iodide ions present in the ionic compound

In CaI2the compound, 1 mole of calcium ion is equal to the 2 moles of iodide ions.

So,the amount of iodide ions is twice the amount of calcium ions.

03

Calculate the amount of iodide present in the ionic compound

The number of calcium ions present in the compound is7.41021

NumberofI-ions=2NumberofCa+2ions=27.41021=14.81021

Therefore, the sample contains 14.81021iodide ions.
