What does an-ite or-ate ending in a polvatomic ion mean?

Chemistry

Answer:

An -ite or -ate ending means a polyatomic ion that includes oxygen is in the formula.

ate = one more O than -ite

Explanation:

Example:

NO2 is nitrite

NO3 is nitrate

You can see that the molecules are made of the same elements, however they have more or less of one of the elements (i.e. oxygen).

These suffices are used in oxygen compounds

Take example of Sulphur

  • SO_2=sulphite
  • SO_3=sulphate

ite means 2 and ate means 3

Four gases were combined in a gas cylinder with these partial pressures: 3.5 atm N2, 2.8 atm O2, 0.25 atm Ar, and 0.15 atm He.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

This can be solved using Dalton's Law of Partial pressures. This law states that the total pressure exerted by a gas mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressure of each gas in the mixture as if it exist alone in a container. In order to solve, we need the partial pressures of the gases given. Calculations are as follows:

Explanation:

P = 3.00 atm + 2.80 atm + 0.25 atm + 0.15 atm

P = 6.8 atm

3.5 atm = x (6.8 atm)

x = 0.51

The mass of an atom of beryllium is 1.5 x 10^-26 kg. How many beryllium atoms are present in beryllium film of mass 0.37 g used
timama [110]

Answer:

There are 2.5 * 10^22 beryllium atoms in 0.37 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The mass of an atom of beryllium is 1.5 x 10^-26 kg.

Total mass = 0.37 grams

Step 2: Calculate number of atoms

1 atom = 1.5 * 10 ^-26 kg

X atoms = 0.00037 kg

X = 0.00037/1.5*10^-26

X = 2.467 * 10^22 atoms ≈ 2.5 * 10^22 atoms

There are 2.5 * 10^22 beryllium atoms in 0.37 grams

Match each set of quantum numbers to the correct subshell description by typing in the correct number.
Mice21 [21]
The location of the valence electron or the outermost electron is expressed in quantum numbers. There are five quantum numbers: prinicipal (n), angular momentum (l), magnetic (ms) and magnetic spin (ms) quantum numbers. This is based on Bohr's atomic model where electrons orbit around the nucleus. These electrons are in the orbitals with specific energy levels. Starting from energy level 1 that is closest to the nucleus, the energy level decreases to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. These energy level numbers represent the principal quantum number. Within each orbital also contains subshell. From increasing to decreasing order, these subshells are the s, p, d and f subshells. These subshells represent the angular momentum quantum numer. Specifically, s=0, p=1, d=2 and f=3. Therefore, if the electron is in the orbital 5p, the quantum number would be: 5, 1. Applying these to the choices, the correct pairing would be:

2p: n=2. l=1
3d: n=3, l=2
2s: n=2. l=0
4f:  n=4. l=3
1s: n=1, l=0
