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.

If the reduction reaction has a reduction potential of 0.1 V, and the oxidation reaction has a reduction potential of -0.4V, and
aleksley [76]

Answer : The value of ΔG expressed in terms of F is, -1 F

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

E^o=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

or,

E^o=E^o_{reduction}-E^o_{oxidation}

E^o=(0.1V)-(-0.4V)=+0.5V

Now we have to calculate the standard cell potential.

Formula used :

\Delta G^o=-nFE^o

where,

\Delta G^o = Gibbs free energy = ?

n = number of electrons = 2

F = Faraday constant

E^o = standard e.m.f of cell = +0.5 V

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the Gibbs free energy.

\Delta G^o=-(2\times F\times 0.5)

\Delta G^o=-1F

Therefore, the value of ΔG expressed in terms of F is, -1 F
