Question

The formula for a lutetium carbonate compound is Lu2(CO3)3. What would be the formula for a lutetium nitrate compound given that the charge of lutetium is the same in both compounds

Answer 1

Lu(NO₃)₃ would be the formula for a lutetium nitrate compound, given that the charge of lutetium is the same in both compounds.

From Lu2(CO₃)₃, we can determine the charge of the variable charge transition metal Lu has a charge of 3, as CO₃ has a 2⁻ charge (3⁻² = 6⁻¹, 6/2 = 3). Then, we apply this to nitrate, which has a charge of 1⁻. Balance charges, reduce, and you get Lu(NO₃)₃.

Nitrates:

With the chemical formula NO⁻₃, nitrate is a polyatomic ion. This ion is found in salts, which are known as nitrates. Fertilizers and explosives frequently contain nitrates as a component. Nearly all inorganic nitrates are water soluble. Bismuth oxynitrate is an illustration of an insoluble nitrate.

Natural compounds called nitrates (or nitrites) can be found in the soil, air, and water. In order to prevent the growth of germs and to improve the flavor and color of food, nitrates are also employed as a food additive.
