Sodium (NA)
the sodium atom is donating its 1 valence electron to the chlorine atom. This creates a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. Notice that the net charge of the resulting compound is 0.
Answer:
6.82g
0.59moles
Explanation:
1. What is the mass sample of 0.0500 moles of zinc chloride ?
Given parameters:
Number of moles ZnCl₂ = 0.05moles
Unknown:
Mass of the sample = ?
Solution:
To find the mass of a substance using the number of moles, it would be pertinent to understand what mole is.
A mole is a substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.
It relates to the mass using the expression below;
Mass of a substance = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of ZnCl₂;
Atomic mass of Zn = 65.4g/mol
Cl = 35.5g/mol
Molar mass = 65.4 + 2(35.5) = 136.4g/mole
Mass of a substance = 0.05 x 136.4 = 6.82g
2. How many moles of potassium sulfide are in a 65.50g sample?
Given parameters:
Mass of K₂S = 65.5g
Unknown:
Number of moles = ?
Solution:
The number of moles of any substance is related to mass using the expression below;
Number of moles =
Molar mass of K₂S = 2(39) + 32 = 110g/mol
Number of moles = = 0.59moles
This one is beta decay (the -1 subscript tells us that)
The IUPAC rules are
a) Find out the longest chain of carbon in the given organic compound
b) We will name the longest chain.
c) We will identify the main functional group and will assign a suffix to the compound.
d) We will number the carbons in the longest chain selected so that the attached groups attain lowest numeral as substituent
e) We will name the side groups or chains.
