In a neutral ionic compound, you can determine its sub-scripts by simply flipping the ionic charges and dropping the signs: so AlS would be Al2S3

Answer:

The ratio of aluminium to sulfur is 2:3

Explanation:

The ratio of the elements of the neutral compound can be computed from the ionic charges that makes up the compound. The element that makes up the compound is aluminium and sulfur.  From the ions aluminium is the cation with a charge of 3+ . The  aluminium ion is the cations because it loses 3 electrons from the bonding between it and sulfur. The sulfur is the anion as it gains electrons from the cations.

Aluminium has a charge of 3+ and sulfur has a charge of 2- . The atom of element that makes up the neutral compound can be computed when you cross multiply the charges.

Al3+ and S2-

cross multiply the charges

Al2S3.

The ratio of aluminium to sulfur is 2:3

Which of the following is the most electronegative element?
Kipish [7]
None of these; the most electronegative element is fluorine because an atom of fluorine needs an additional electron to join it's outer membrane, so the atom can achieve stability.

a flourine atom on its own is always a negative ion.

yan [13]

Answer:

Picking up marbles and placing them in a sack

Explanation:

The entropy of a chemical system is defined as the measure of disorder. Therefore a negative change in entropy is the movement to a more ordered state. The only option here which achieves a more ordered state, would be the first option.

Picking up marbles and placing them in a stack achieves more order, rather than the other options - that achieve more disorder.

explain what the net force on an object will be if balanced forces act on it. what will happen to the net force if unbalanced fo
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

A force doesn't act on another force. Forces act on objects.

"Unbalanced force" simply means that the sum of all forces acting on an object - that is, the net force - is not equal to zero.

The chemical bonds in fuel are changed when the fuel is burned to move a car. What type of energy conversion is taking place in
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Chemical energy to heat energy

Explanation:

The type of energy conversion when fuel is burnt to move a car is from chemical energy to heat energy.

One of the fundamental laws in chemistry postulates that "energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

This law suggests that energy can be transformed from one form to another.

  • In an automobile, the fuel is chemical compound with chains of hydrocarbons.
  • When these bonds are broken during combustion in the engine, the chemical energy, a form of potential energy, is converted to heat energy, a form of kinetic energy.
  • The heat energy is used to drive pistons and cause the mechanics of a car to begin to move.
