Answer:

It is a salt of two polyatomic ammonium ions and one polyatomic sulfate ion

Explanation:

Ammonium Sulfate is an ionic compound formed by two polyatomic ions, Ammonium NH+4 and Sulfate SO−4 . ... Therefore, it will take two +1 ammonium ions to balance the one -2 sulfate ion. This will make the formula for Ammonium Sulfate (NH4)2SO4

Answer:

A) It is a salt of two polyatomic ammonium ions and one polyatomic sulphate ion.

Explanation:

A polyatomic ion is an ion composed of two or more atoms. Polyatomic ions are covalently bonded groups of atoms with a positive or negative charge caused by the formation of an ionic bond with another ion. They behave as a single unit and are also known as molecular ion.

Ammonium sulphate [(NH4)2SO4] is an ionic compound formed by two polyatomic ions which are NH4^+ and SO4 ^2-

•In order for these two polyatomic ions to bond, the charges must be equal, opposite and give a net charge of zero.

•Since the sulfate ion has the greater charge, we will need two atoms of NH4^+ that will sum up to give a charge 2+ which will balance the 2- coming from the sulfate polyatomic ion.

We will be having something like this:

NH4^+ + NH4^+ ----> 2NH4^ +

Now we have equal number of charges, two positive and two negative charges coming from two ammonium polyatomic ions and one sulfate polyatomic ion.

NH4^+ NH4^+ SO4^2-

This will make the formula for ammonium sulfate to be (NH4)2SO4

The diameter of a biscuit is approximately 51 millimeters (mm). An atom of bismuth (Bi) is approximately 320. picometers (pm) in
astraxan [27]

Answer:

1.5e+8 atoms of Bismuth.

Explanation:

We need to calculate the <em>ratio</em> of the diameter of a biscuit respect to the diameter of the atom of bismuth (Bi):

\\ \frac{diameter\;biscuit}{diameter\;atom(Bi)}

For this, it is necessary to know the values in meters for any of these diameters:

\\ 1m = 10^{3}mm = 1e+3mm

\\ 1m = 10^{12}pm = 1e+12pm

Having all this information, we can proceed to calculate the diameters for the biscuit and the atom in meters.

<h3>Diameter of an atom of Bismuth(Bi) in meters</h3>

1 atom of Bismuth = 320pm in diameter.

\\ 320pm*\frac{1m}{10^{12}pm} = 3.20*10^{-10}m

<h3>Diameter of a biscuit in meters</h3>

\\ 51mm*\frac{1}{10^{3}mm} = 51*10^{-3}m = 5.1*10^{-2}m

<h3>Resulting Ratio</h3>

How many times is the diameter of an atom of Bismuth contained in the diameter of the biscuit? The answer is the ratio described above, that is, the ratio of the diameter of the biscuit respect to the diameter of the atom of Bismuth:

\\ Ratio_{\frac{biscuit}{atom}}= \frac{5.1*10^{-2}m}{3.20*10^{-10}m}

\\ Ratio_{\frac{biscuit}{atom}}= \frac{5.1}{3.20}\frac{10^{-2}}{10^{-10}}\frac{m}{m}

\\ Ratio_{\frac{biscuit}{atom}}= \frac{5.1}{3.20}\frac{10^{-2}}{10^{-10}}\frac{m}{m}

\\ Ratio_{\frac{biscuit}{atom}}= 1.5*10^{-2+10}

\\ Ratio_{\frac{biscuit}{atom}}= 1.5*10^{8}=1.5e+8

In other words, there are 1.5e+8 diameters of atoms of Bismuth in the diameter of the biscuit in question or simply, it is needed to put 1.5e+8 atoms of Bismuth to span the diameter of a biscuit in a line.

Water (H
2O) is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless and odorless liquid, which is nearly colorless apart from an inherent hint of blue. It is by far the most studied chemical compound and is described as the "universal solvent" [18][19] and the "solvent of life".[20] It is the most abundant substance on Earth[21] and the only common substance to exist as a solid, liquid, and gas on Earth's surface.[22] It is also the third most abundant molecule in the universe.[21]

Tema [17]

A law is statement about an observed concept. A theory involves the explanation of scientific concepts or principles. A hypothesis is the predicted explanation about some concepts that has to be tested in order to prove it to be right. An observation is the observing the results of a scientific experiment carried out to test an hypothesis.

Here the given statement 'A chemist mixes sodium with water and witnesses a violent reaction between the metal and water,' can be classified as an observation as it explains what the chemists observes as a result of his chemical experiment or test..
