We can predict formula of ionic compounds by:

Take a look at where the elements are listed on the periodic table.
The amount of electrons that an element would need to gain or lose in order to resemble an atom of a nearby noble gas is one of the similarities that atoms in the same column as one another (group) tend to display.
Alkali metal group I ions have +1 charges.
Alkaline earth metals (group 2 ions) have a +2 charge.
Nonmetal group 6 ions have a charge of -2.
Halides in group 7 have a -1 charge.
The charges of the transition metals cannot be predicted in a straightforward manner.
Check out a table of charges (valences) to see potential values. The +1, +2, and +3 charges are most frequently employed in beginning and general chemistry courses.
Keep in mind that the positive ion is always stated first when writing an ionic compound's formula.

These are the few guidelines we can use to product formula.

How much energy (joules) is needed to heat 250 grams of copper from 22 °C to 99 °C? The specific heat capacity (C) of copper is

Naddik [55]

Answer:

7430.5 Joules (7.4*10^4 Joules)

Explanation:

Q=mc∆T

where Q is energy in Joules.

Now m=250 g

c= 0.386 J/g°C

∆T = 99 - 22 = 77 °C

plugging the values in gives

Q=250*0.386*77=7430.5 Joules

(7.4*10^4 Joules, if 2 significant figures)

What’s the fastest way to balance chemical equations

Anon25 [30]

Hey there!

The best way to balance chemical equations is to first start by balancing polyatomic ions such as OH and SO₄.

Next, balance other elements, but save elements that are by themselves for last, such as H₂ or Fe. Once you balance everything else you can do the ones by themselves, it's much easier.

Hope this helps!

The reducing agent in this catalytic hydrogenation reaction was molecular hydrogen (H2), which was produced in situ (in the reac

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a) After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise due to the reaction of 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial. b) $4NaBH_{4} + 2HCl + 7H_{2}O$ ⇒ 16 $H_{2(g)}+ 2NaCl + Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7}$ c) No $H_{2}$ was not the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Generally, hydrogenation is the chemical reaction between a compound or element and molecular hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as platinum.

a) After the balloon inflated after 440 uL of dropwise 1-Decene solution was added due to the reaction between 1-Decene and the solution in the conical vial.

b) $4NaBH_{4} + 2HCl + 7H_{2}O$ ⇒ 16 $H_{2(g)}+ 2NaCl + Na_{2}B_{4}O_{7}$

c) $H_{2}$ was not the limiting reactant based on the mol to mol ratio of $H_{2}$ and decane which is 1:1. Therefore, if 0.8 mol of decane was produced then 0.8 mol of $H_{2}$ would also be produced.

Which of the following is the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent?

Lyrx [107]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A ketone is an organic functional group that contains a carbon and oxygen atom bonded together through a double bond, that is, C=O.

For example, acetone $CH_{3}-CO-CH_{3}$ is a ketone.

Whereas a hydrocodone is a drug which is used to relieve from moderate to sever pain.It is mostly combined with other drugs and resulting in a chemical formula $C_{18}H_{21}NO_{3}.C_{4}H_{6}O_{6}$ .

A camphor is a volatile white color substance with chemical formula $C_{10}H_{16}O$ . It has aromatic smell and its taste is bitter.

A menthone is also an organic compound with chemical formula $C_{10}H_{18}O$ .

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent is acetone.
