Which is the correct name of a compound that is formed by Si and O?

1 answer:

4 0

Naming conventions for 2 non-metals like Si and O are based on their valence electrons, Si has 4 electrons around it and Oxygen has 6, in order for you to satisfy octet (8 electrons around each element) surrounding each Si and O, you need another O, To name these 2, just write the name of the first element which has less electrons first then the second element to which you use a prefix "di" since it means there are two oxygen, then put the names together and end the name of the second element with "ide" (remove the last 4 letters).
Silicon + "dI" + ox +"ide"

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The relevant equation is:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Explanation:

1 mol of calcium carbonate can react to 2 moles of Hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mol of water, 1 mol of calcium chloride and 1 mol of carbon dioxide.

The formed CO₂ is the reason why you noticed bubbles as the reaction took place

Why do you think it is advantageous to use inert electrodes in the electrolysis process?

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The advantage of this technique is that purified water as well as deposited metals can be re-used. It is necessary to use an inert electrode, such as platinum, because there is no metal present to conduct the electrons from the anode to the cathode.
