B.)because they are packet tight
Answer:
D. Na₃X
Explanation:
We have the neutral compound Ba₃(X)₂. <em>The total charge (zero) is equal to the sum of the charges of the ions times the number of ions in the molecule</em>.
3 × qBa + 2 × qX = 0
3 × (+2) + 2 × qX = 0
2 × qX = -6
qX = -3
If we have the cation Na⁺ and X³⁻, a neutral molecule would require 3 Na⁺ and 1 X³⁻. The resulting compound is Na₃X.
Answer:
(<em>i) Concentrated HNO3 can be stored and transported in aluminium containers as it reacts with aluminium to form a thin protective oxide layer on the aluminium surface. This oxide layer renders aluminium passive. (ii) Sodium hydroxide and aluminium react to form sodium tetrahydroxoaluminate(III) and hydrogen gas.</em>
