Answer: The chemical formula for the compound of lithium and oxygen will be $Li_2O$

Explanation:

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed when complete transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another atom.

Lithium is the 3rd element of the periodic table with electronic configuration of $1s^22s^1$

This element looses 1 electron and shows an oxidation state of +1.

Oxygen is the 8th element of the periodic table with electronic configuration $1s^22s^22p^4$

This element will gain 2 electrons and shows an oxidation state of -2.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of oxygen becomes the coefficient of lithium and that of lithium becomes of oxygen.

Hence, the chemical formula for the compound obtained by the combination of lithium and oxygen is $Li_2O$

Which of the following is a correct representation of the isotope of sulfur that has 19 neutrons? sulfur-19 sulfur-35 sulfur-16

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

sulfur-35

Explanation:

Sulfur-35 is a radioactive isotope that contains 19 neutrons.

Isotopes are represented with mass numbers. Mass number is the addition of number of proton and number of neutrons.

The number of proton in sulfur = 16

Number of neutron = 19

So, mass number = no. of protons + no. of neutrons

= 16 + 19

= 35

Hence, the correct answer is sulfur-35.

1. What pressure would be exerted by 46.0grams of hydrogen gas placed into a 3.00 L container at

dlinn [17]

Answer:

187.34 atm

Explanation:

From the question,

PV = nRT.................. Equation 1

Where P = Pressure, V = Volume, n = number of mole, R = molar gas constant, T = Temperature.

make P the subject of the equation

P = nRT/V.............. Equation 2

n = mass(m)/molar mass(m')

n = m/m'............... Equation 3

Substitute equation 3 into equation 2

P = (m/m')RT/V............ Equation 4

Given: m = 46 g, T = 25°C = (25+273) = 298 K, V = 3.00 L

Constant: m' = 2 g/mol, R = 0.082 atmL/K.mol

Substitute these values into equation 4

P = (46/2)(0.082×298)/3

P = (23×0.082×298)/3

P = 187.34 atm

What are the two different ions present in the compound al(no3)3?

Aleks [24]

$Al^{3+}$ and $NO_3^{-}$

Aluminum nitrate is an ionic compound, meaning that it is made up cations and anions. By convention when writing the formula for an ionic compounds the cation part shall be placed in front the anions. Thus the cation would contain aluminum and the anion shall be a polyatomic nitrate ion consisting of nitrogen and oxygen. The bracket with subscript 3 attached resembles the ratio between the two species, aluminum ions and nitrate ions. For each aluminum ion in the compound there shall be three corresponding nitrate ions.

Aluminum form ions of charge +3 whereas nitrate ions are of charge -1. Write the charge of the ion as the superscript in reverse (i.e., write $3+$ as in $Al^{3+}$ and $-$ in $NO_3^{-}$ , omitting any 1.)
