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.

Which of these have the same number of particles as 1 mole of water H2O
Fed [463]

Answer:

It is equal to Avogadro's number (NA), namely 6.022 x1023. If we have one mole of water, then we know that it will have a mass of 2 grams (for 2 moles of H atoms) + 16 grams (for one mole O atom) = 18 grams.

Explanation:

The question is not very much clear.

If you are asking for molecules then 1 mole water= 6.023 * 10^23

If you are asking for atoms then 1 mole water= 6.023 * 10^23 * 3

If you are asking for particles then,

So, in your example you would have one mole of water molecules. If you dissociated those water molecules, than you would end up with 2 moles of hydrogen atoms, and one mole of oxygen atoms.

I hope that was helpful!

H=1 proton,1 electron

O=8 protons,8 neutrons and 8 electrons

total particles in one H2O molecule-28

total no. of particles in 1 mole of water- 6.023 * 10^23 * 28

describe how a pure dry sample of solid lead carbonate can be obtained from sodium carbonate solution and lead nitrate solution
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Soluble salts can be made by reacting acids with soluble or insoluble reactants. Titration must be used if the reactants are soluble. Insoluble salts are made by precipitation reactions.

Making insoluble salts

An insoluble salt can be prepared by reacting two suitable solutions together to form a precipitate.

Determining suitable solutions

All nitrates and all sodium salts are soluble. This means a given precipitate XY can be produced by mixing together solutions of:

X nitrate

sodium Y

For example, to prepare a precipitate of calcium carbonate:

X = calcium and Y = carbonate

mix calcium nitrate solution and sodium carbonate solution together

calcium nitrate + sodium carbonate → sodium nitrate + calcium carbonate

Ca(NO3)2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) → 2NaNO3(aq) + CaCO3(s)

It also works if potassium carbonate solution or ammonium carbonate solution is used instead of sodium carbonate solution. Remember that all common potassium and ammonium salts are soluble.

How many formula units are in 239.2g of <br> Br2<br> MgCl2<br> H2O<br> Fe
Oksana_A [137]

The formula units in the substances are as follows:

  • Br2 = 8.99 × 10^23 formula units
  • MgCl2 = 1.51 × 10^24 formula units
  • H2O = 2.57 × 10^24 formula units
  • Fe = 2.57 × 10^24 formula units

<h3>How many moles are in 239.2 g of the given substances?</h3>

The moles of the substances are determined from their molar mass.

Molar mass of the substances is given as follows:

  • Br2 = 160 g/mol
  • MgCl2 = 95 g/mol
  • H2O = 18 g/mol
  • Fe = 56 g/mol

Formula units = mass/molar mass × 6.02 × 10^23

The formula units in the substances are as follows:

  • Br2 = 239.2/160 × 6.02 × 10^23 = 8.99 × 10^23 formula units
  • MgCl2 = 239.2/95 × 6.02 × 10^23 = 1.51 × 10^24 formula units
  • H2O = 239.2/18 × 6.02 × 10^23 = 2.57 × 10^24 formula units
  • Fe = 239.2/56 × 6.02 × 10^23 = 2.57 × 10^24 formula units

In conclusion, the number of formula units is derived from the moles and Avogadro number.
