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.

Calcium reacts with hydrochloric acid,HCI, to make calcium chloride and hydrogen gas (H2).
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

1.)calcium+hydrochloric acid -->calcium chloride +hydrogen

2.)Ca + 2HCl -->CaCl2 + H2

3.)3.55g

Explanation:

1.) pretty self explanatory

2.)Ca + HCl -->CaCl2 + H2

then balance

Ca + 2HCl -->CaCl2 + H2 (+2 infront of Hcl)

3.) take calcium and calcium chloride

Ca  + CaCl2

then you need the relative atomic mass of both

Ca=40

CaCl2=71 (40+(35.5x2))

Ca=40  40/40=1 1x2=2g

Then repeat that exact equation for calcium chloride

CaCl2=71 71/40=1.775 1.775x3=3.55g

Answer:

1. The electronic configuration of X is: 1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

2. The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

3. The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given as: XY

Explanation:

For X to loss two electrons, it means X is a group 2 element. X can be any element in group 2. The electronic configuration of X is:

1s2 2s2 sp6 3s2

To get the electronic configuration of the anion of element Y, let us find the configuration of element Y. This is done as follows:

Y receives two electrons from X to complete its octet. Therefore Y is a group 6 element. The electronic configuration of Y is given below

1s2 2s2 2p4

The configuration of the anion of Y (i.e Y^2-) is 1s2 2s2 2p6

The formula of the compound form by X and Y is given below :

X^2+ + Y^2- —> XY

Their valency will cancel out thus forming XY

Why saturated fatty acid can’t create kink ?​
Leya [2.2K]
Saturated fatty acids exhibit a linear structure while unsaturated fatty acids bend, or kink, due to double bonds within the chemical foundation.
