To name compounds, usually, they are a combination of a metal and a nonmetal, between nonmetals and between metals. The two elements here are ammonium (NH₄) and sulfur (S). These are both nonmetals. When you name the compound, start by ammonium, followed by sulfur plus a suffix of -ide. The compound is ammonium sulfide.

<u>Answer:</u> The name of the given compound is ammonium sulfide.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a chemical compound having chemical formula of (NH_4)_2S. This is formed by the combination of ammonium (NH_4^+) ions and sulfur S^{2-} ions.

The given compound is an ionic compound because complete transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another atom.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

  • Positive ion is written first.
  • The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
  • In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.

Hence, the name of the given compound is ammonium sulfide.

What is the reduction potential of a hydrogen electrode that is still at standard pressure, but has ph = 5.65 , relative to the
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{-0.275 V}}

Explanation:

We must use the Nernst equation

E = E^{\circ} - \dfrac{RT}{zF} \ln Q

1. Write the equation for the cell reaction

If you want the reduction potential, the pH 5.65 solution is the cathode, and the cell reaction is

                                                                     <u> E°/V</u>

  Anode: H₂(1 bar) ⇌ 2H⁺(1 mol·L⁻¹) + 2e⁻;     0

Cathode: <u>2H⁺(pH 5.65) + 2e⁻ ⇌ H₂(1 bar)</u>;    <u> 0 </u>

 Overall: 2H⁺ (pH 5.65) ⇌ 2H⁺(1 mol·L⁻¹);      0

Step 2. Calculate E°

(a) Data

   E° = 0

   R = 8.314 J·K⁻¹mol⁻¹

   T = 25 °C

   n = 2

   F = 96 485 C/mol

pH = 5.65

Calculations:  

T = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

\text{H}^{+} = 10^{\text{-pH}} = 2.24 \times 10^{-5}\text{ mol/\L}\\\\Q = \dfrac{\text{[H}^{+}]_{\text{prod}}^{2}}{\text{[H}^{+}]_{\text{react}}^{2}} = \dfrac{(1.00)^{2}}{(2.24 \times 10^{-5})^{2}} =2.00 \times 10^{9}\\\\\\E = 0 - \left (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298.15 }{2 \times 96485}\right ) \ln{2.00 \times 10^{9}}\\\\= -0.01285 \times 21.41 = \textbf{-0.275 V}\\\text{The cell potential for the cell as written is }\boxed{\textbf{-0.275 V}}

uysha [10]

Answer:

Ferric chloride test

Explanation:

The ferric chloride test can be used to detect metabolites in urine in case of inborn error of metabolism such as phenylketonuria. Compounds such as phenylpyruvate increase in plasma and are excreted out via urine. Also, it can be used to detect salicylates in urine, quick diagnostic test for aspirin overdose.
