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 many grams are there in 7.4x10^23 molecules of Na2SO4?

weeeeeb [17]

Molar mass Na2SO4 = <span>142.04 g/mol

142.04 g -------------- 6.02x10</span>²³ atoms
?? g ------------------ 7.4x10²³ atoms

142.04 x ( 7.4x10²³) / 6.02x10²³

The solubility of an ionic compound can be expressed as the number of moles of the compound that will dissolve per liter of solu

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Number of moles of sodium dissolved = 6.0 *10^23

Explanation:

The image for the question is attached

Solution

a) Total 181 ions of Na are dissolved

The number of moles of sodium dissolved = 181/6.023 *10^23

Number of moles of sodium dissolved = 5.987 * 10^23

Number of moles of sodium dissolved = 6.0 *10^23

disa [49]

The question is incomplete, complete question is:

Study this chemical reaction:

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s)\rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

Then, write balanced half-reactions describing the oxidation and reduction that happen in this reaction.

Oxidation:

Reduction:

Answer:

Oxidation taking place in given reaction :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction taking place in given reaction;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$

Explanation:

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur side by side.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

$FeSO_4 (aq) + Zn (s) \rightarrow Fe (s) + ZnSO_4 (aq)$

In the given reaction, iron(II) ions are getting reduced and zinc metal is getting oxidized to zinc(II) ions.

Oxidation :

$Zn(s)\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction ;

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Fe(s)$
