Blank #1: Polyatomic

Blank #2: 2 (see explanation)

Blank #3: 1 (see explanation)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Both the ammonium ion \text{NH}_4^{+} and the sulfate ion \text{SO}_4^{2-} contain more than one atom in each ion. The two species are thus <em>polyatomic</em>. The chloride ion \text{Cl}^{-}, for example, is <em>monoatomic</em>.

Superscripts above formulae of the ions indicate their charge. Each ammonium ion carries a positive one (+1) charge. Each sulfate ion carries a charge of negative two (-2).

Ammonium sulfate is an ionic compound. A sample of this compound contain myriads of ammonium ions and sulfate ions. The ions are packed in three-dimensional lattices. Thus unlike water, ammonium sulfate does not exist as molecules in nature.

Assuming that the second and third blanks refers to a formula unit, rather than a molecule, of ammonium sulfate. The empirical formula of ammonium sulfate gives the minimum whole-number ratio between the two ions in a sample.

Charges shall balance between the two ions. Ammonium ions are of charge +1. Sulfate ions are of charge -2. The sample shall thus contain two ammonium ions for every one sulfate ion.

The empirical formula of ammonium sulfate is therefore (\text{NH}_4)_2\text{SO}_4.

There are thus two ammonium ions \text{NH}_4^{+} and one sulfate ion \text{SO}_4^{2-} in each formula unit of ammonium sulfate.

What volume measured in stp will 3.75 grams of helium gas occupy?
Andre45 [30]
Molar mass  helium gas :

He = 4.0 g/mol

number of moles:  3.75 / 4.0 => 0.9375 moles

1 mole ------ 22.4 ( at STP)
0.9375 ------ ?

volume = 0.9375 x 22.4 / 1

Volume = 21 / 1

Volume = 21 L

hope this helps!

The gas in a balloon has a volume of 2 Lat a temperature of 301 K. What will be the final temperature (in K) when the volume exp
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Final temperature = 1279.25 K

Explanation:

We can solve this using the formula for Charles law since we are given volume and temperature.

From Charles law, we know that;

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Where;

T1 is the initial temperature

V1 is the initial volume

T2 is the final temperature

V2 is the final volume

We are given;

V1 = 2 L

T1 = 301 K

V2 = 8.5 L

Thus, making T2 the subject, we have;

T2 = V2•T1/V1

Plugging in the relevant values;

T2 = 8.5 × 301/2

T2 = 1279.25 K

Given the balanced equation:
Vikki [24]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a more reactive element or atom replaces a less reactive atom then this type of reaction is known as single displacement reaction.

In the given reaction, potassium iodide reacts with fluorine and results in the formation of potassium fluoride and iodine.

Here, fluorine being more reactive displaces iodine from potassium iodide.

Therefore, it is a single replacement or displacement reaction.
