Chemistry
1 answer:
CaHeK987 [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Fe(CN)₂,  FeCO₃,  Pb(CN)₄,  Pb(CO₃)₂

Explanation:

Cations (positively charged ions) can only form ionic bonds with anions (negatively charged ions). However, you can't just simply put one cation and one anion together to form a compound. Each compound needs to been neutral, or have an overall charge of 0. When cations and anions do not have charges that perfectly cancel, you need to modify the amount of each ion in the compound.

1.) Fe(CN)₂
-----> Fe²⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0

2.) FeCO₃

-----> Fe²⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +2 + (-2) = 0

3.)  Pb(CN)₄

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +4 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0

4.) Pb(CO₃)₂

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +4 +(-2) + (-2) = 0

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent for 4Li(s) + O_2 (g) to 2Li_2O(s).
wolverine [178]

Answer: Li is the reducing agentg and O is the oxidizing agent.

Explanation:

1) The oxidizing agent is the one that is reduced and the reducing agent is the one that is oxidized.

2) The given reaction is:

4Li(s) + O₂ (g) → 2 Li₂O(s)

3) Determine the oxidation states of each atom:

Li(s): oxidation state = 0 (since it is alone)

O₂ (g): oxidation state = 0 (since it is alone)

Li in Li₂O (s) +1

O in Li₂O -2

That because 2× (+1) - 2 = 0.

4) Determine the changes:

Li went from 0 to + 1, therefore it got oxidized and it is the reducing agent.

O went from 0 to - 2, therefore it got reduced and it is the oxidizing agent.

Explain how there can be more heat energy in an iceburg than in a pot of boiling water
vlada-n [284]

Heat energy is the amount of heat there is in a substance. This may be cold heat or warm heat. Temperature is how hot or cold a substance is. So because there is a higher volume of heat in the iceberg, we say it has more heat energy.

A 20 N object is placed on a surface and starts to slide. What is the MOST likely reason the object begins to move?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

c.

Explanation:

If the object starts to slide it must be on a slope.

There are 2 forces acting on the object - gravity and the friction between the object and the surface.

If sliding starts then the forces must be unbalanced.

The force of gravity is greater than the friction.
