<u>Answer:</u> The chemical formula of the given compound is $Cr_2(SO_4)_3$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The combination of chromium and sulfate ions leads to the formation of an ionic compound having chemical name as chromium (III) sulfate. The electrons get transferred from chromium atom to sulfate ion.

Chromium is the 24th element of the periodic table. It is a metal and it looses its electrons. The electronic configuration for this element is $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{4}$

This element will loose 3 electrons and forms $Cr^{3+}$ ion.

Sulfate ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $SO_4^{2-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for chromium (III) sulfate is $Cr_2(SO_4)_3$

In a 100 g sample of iron(III) oxide, how many grams of iron are present?

e-lub [12.9K]

The formula of Iron(III) oxide is Fe2O3
In order to calculate the mass of iron in a given sample of iron(III) oxide, we must first know the mass percentage of iron in iron(III) oxide. This is calculated by:
[mass of iron in one mole of iron(III) oxide/ mass of one mole of iron(III) oxide] * 100
= [(moles of iron * Mr of iron) / (moles of Iron * Mr of Iron + moles of Oxygen * Mr of Oxygen)] * 100
= [(2 * 56) / (2 * 56 + 3 * 16)] * 100
= (112 / 160) * 100
= 70%
Thus, in a 100g sample, the weight of iron will be:
100 * 70%
= 70 grams
