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>

Which model of acids and bases would NOT define NH3 as a base (even though it is considered one by the other models)?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is A) Arrhenius</em>

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept of acids and bases, an acid must produce H+ ions when it is present in a solution and the base must produce OH- ions when placed in a solution.

Ammonia does not contain OH- ions of its own when dissolved in water.

The reaction of ammonia dissolving is water can be written as:

NH3     +    H2O     ⇌   NH4+ + OH−

As we can see from the equation, ammonia does form OH- ions but it does not have OH- ions on its own.

Hence, according to the Arrhenius concept, NH3 is not a base.

What volume of 0.100 M HCl will react completely with 50.00 mL of 0.200 M NaOH?
skelet666 [1.2K]
Equation of reaction
Hcl+NaoH-->Nacl+H2O
1:1
Using the formula CaVa/CbVb=na/nb
Ca(Concentation of acid)= 0.100M
Cb(Concentration of base)=0.200M
Va=?
VB=50.00ml
na=1
nb=1
from the formula
Va= CbVbna/Canb
Va= 0.2*50*1/0.1*1
=10/0.1=100ml
Therefore volume of acid = 100ml
