Give a theoretical reason why lithium and oxygen combine in the ratio 2:1

1 answer:

4 0

Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table and thus can only form one bond with another atom (its ion is Li+)

Oxygen can form two bonds (as in the dioxygen O2).

Hence if you conbine Li and O it has to be Li2O.

Write the full ionic equation and net ionic equation for sodium dihydrogen phosphate + calcium carbonate, sodium oxilate + calcl

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Sodium dihydrogen phosphate + calcium carbonate

Full ionic equation

2 Na⁺(aq) + 2 H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + Ca(H₂PO₄)₂(s)

Net ionic equation

2 H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CO₃²⁻(aq) + Ca(H₂PO₄)₂(s)

Sodium oxalate + calcium carbonate

Full ionic equation

2 Na⁺(aq) + C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) + CaC₂O₄(s)

Net ionic equation

C₂O₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CO₃²⁻(aq) + CaC₂O₄(s)

Sodium hydrogen phosphate + calcium carbonate

Full ionic equation

2 Na⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CaHPO₄(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

Net ionic equation

HPO₄²⁻(aq) + CaCO₃(s) ⇄ CaHPO₄(s) + CO₃²⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider two kind of equations:

Full ionic equation: includes all ions and species that do not dissociate in water.
Net ionic equation: includes only ions that participate in the reaction (not spectator ions) and species that do not dissociate in water.

gThe mole fraction of potassium nitrate in an aqueous solution is 0.0194. The solution's density is 1.0627 g/mL. What is the mol

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

0.595 M

Explanation:

The number of moles of water in 1L = 1000g/18g/mol = 55.6 moles of water.

Mole fraction = number of moles of KNO3/number of moles of KNO3 + number of moles of water

0.0194 = x/x + 55.6

0.0194(x + 55.6) = x

0.0194x + 1.08 = x

x - 0.0194x = 1.08

0.9806x= 1.08

x= 1.08/0.9806

x= 1.1 moles of KNO3

Mole fraction of water= 55.6/1.1 + 55.6 = 0.981

xA= mole fraction of solvent

xB= mole fraction of solute

nA= number of moles of solvent

nB = number of moles of solute

MA= molar mass of solvent

MB = molar mass of solute

d= density of solution

Molarity = xBd × 1000/xAMA ×xBMB

Molarity= 0.0194 × 1.0627 × 1000/0.981 × 18 × 0.0194×101

Molarity= 20.6/34.6

Molarity of KNO3= 0.595 M

What elements are found in salt?

devlian [24]

Sodium is a member of the alkali metal family with potassium (K) and Lithium (LI) sodium's big claim to fame is that it's one or two elements in your table salt. when bonded to chlorine (CI) THE two elements make sodium chloride

What happens when HCl gas is passed through a saturated PbCl2 solution?

VikaD [51]

When HCl is added to a saturated solution of PbCl2, the solubility of PbCl2 would decrease so precipitation would occur. The decrease in the solubility is due to the common ion effect or the presence of Cl- ions in both compounds.
