In a chemical equation, if 2 atoms of chlorine are used in the reactants to form calcium chloride, how many formula units of calcium chloride must be part of the products? ca + cl2 → _____ cacl2

Respuesta :

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

    [tex]Ca + Cl_{2} \rightarrow CaCl_{2}[/tex]

The number of elements on reactant side are as follows.

  • Ca = 1
  • Cl = 2

The number  of elements on product side are as follows.

  • Ca = 1
  • Cl = 2

Therefore, the equation is completely balanced.

Thus, we can conclude that only one formula units of calcium chloride must be part of the products.
