When determining the formula for a compound, it is important to know the valence numbers of each element. Suppose you want to wr

ite a formula for a compound with these two elements: Element A = valence 3 Element B = valence 2 In the formula, what number will be the subscript for Element B?

Explanation:

The valency of the element is the measure of the combining power of the element with the other atoms when the element forms compounds or molecules.

<u>Thus, valency has to known to find the how the elements have been combined and how many electrons have been lost, gain or shared.</u>

Given that:

Element A has 3 valence electrons and element B has 2 valence electrons. To find the ionic compound, the valency of the cations and the anions are interchanged and are written in subscripts. Thus,

A        B

3          2

Cross multiplying, we get the formula : A_2B_3

<u>Hence, 3 is the subscript for Element B.</u>

How do tidal bulges form?
Troyanec [42]

Answer: The pull of the moon's gravity on Earth's water causes tidal bulges to form on the side closest to the moon and farthest from the moon. In the place where there are tidal bulges, high tide occurs along coastline.

Answer:

Ti6Al4V1 or Ti6Al4V

Explanation:

So, from the question above we are given the following Important data or parameters or information which is going to help us in solving this question and they are;

The "surgical-grade" titanium is made up of 64.3% titanium, 24.19% aluminum and 11.42% vanadium.

This is a stoichiometry Question so in order to be able to solve this question one must have the basic knowledge of stoichiometry, it is advisable that one revise it.

So, let us delve right into the solution of this question. Recall that, the formula for Calculating the number of moles = mass/molar mass.

Hence, the number of moles of titanium,Ti = 64.3/47.87 = 3 moles.

Also, the number of moles of aluminum = 24.19/26.98 = 0.8966

For vanadium; 11.42/51 = 0.22

The next step is to divide each number of moles component by the lowest number of mole, that is;

Ti = 1.34/ 0.22 = 6; Al = 0.8966/0.22= 4 and V = 0.22/0.22 = 1.

Thus, the emperical formula is = Ti6Al4V.
