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

a) One kmol of N2O4 dissociates at 25℃, 1 atm to form an equilibrium ideal gas mixture of N2O4 and NO2 in which the amount of N2

horsena [70]

Answer:

neq N2O4 = 0.9795 mol.....P = 0.5 atm; T = 25°C

Explanation:

ni change eq.

N2O4 1 1 - x 0.8154.....P = 1 atm; T = 25°C

NO2 0 0 + x x

∴ x = neq = Peq.V / R.T.....ideal gas mix

if P = 0.5 atm, T = 25°C; assuming: V = 1 L

⇒ x = neq = ((0.5 atm)(1 L))/((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(298 K))

⇒ x = neq = 0.0205 mol

⇒ neq N2O4 = 1 - x = 1 - 0.0205 = 0.9795 mol

When solving an equation using Gay-Lussac's law, which of the following steps do not apply? A. List your knowns and unknowns. B.

suter [353]

Answer:

C. Plug the unknowns into the ideal gas law formula.

Explanation:

Gay-Lussac's law states that:

"For a constant mass of an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically, it can be written as:

$\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}$

where

p1 is the initial pressure

T1 is the initial temperature (in Kelvin)

p2 is the final pressure

T2 is the final temperature (in Kelvin)

Therefore, in order to solve for one of the 4 variables, the following steps must be adopted:

A. List your knowns and unknowns.

B. Convert temperature to kelvin.

D. Solve for the unknown.

While the following step is not needed:

C. Plug the unknowns into the ideal gas law formula.

Because we do not need to use the ideal gas law formula.

A fish company delivers 22 kg of salmon, 5.5 kg of crab and 3.48 kg of oysters to your seafood restaurant. What is the mass, in

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Mass of sea food = 30.98 Kg

Mass of sea food in pound = 68.31 lbs

Explanation:

Salmon, crab and oysters all are sea food.

Mass of sea food = Mass of salmon + Mass of crab + mass of oyster

Mass of salmon = 22 kg

Mass of crab = 5.5 kg

Mass of oysters = 3.48 kg

Mass of sea food = Mass of salmon + Mass of crab + mass of oyster

= 22 + 5.5 + 3.48

= 30.98 Kg

1 Kg = 2.205 lbs

Therefore, 30.98 kg = 30.98 × 2.205

= 68.31 lbs
