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

How do u find ratios of unknown value
LenaWriter [7]
The simplest ratios compare only two values, but ratios comparing three or more values are also possible. In any situations in which two or more distinct numbers or quantities are being compared, ratios are applicable. By describing quantities in relation to each other, they explain how chemical formulas can be duplicated or recipes in the kitchen expanded.

For the reaction KClO2⟶KCl+O2 KClO2⟶KCl+O2 assign oxidation numbers to each element on each side of the equation. K in KClO2:K i
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula of the reaction:

            KClO₂ → KCl + O₂

To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:

  1. Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
  2. The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
  3. The algebraic sum of all the oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero. For radicals with charges, their oxidation number is the charge.

The oxidation number of K in KClO₂:

                                   K + (-1) + 2(-2) = 0

                                    K-5 = 0

                                    K = +5

The oxidation number of K in KCl:

                                K + (-1) = 0

                                K = +1

The oxidation number Cl in KClO₂ is -1

For Cl in KCl, the oxidation number is -1

For O in KClO₂, the oxidation number is (2 x -2) = -4

For O in O₂, the oxidation number is 0

K moves from an oxidation state of +5 to +1. This is a gain of electrons and K has undergone reduction. We then say K is reduced.

O moves from an oxidation state of -4 to 0. This is a loss of electrons and O has undergone oxidation. We say O is oxidized.

An aerospace engineer is designing a rocket to have three stages. Which is
valina [46]

Answer:

<em>A not reasonable explanation for an aerospace engineer designs a rocket to have three stages is</em>:

  • <u><em>A. To simplify the design of the rocket</em></u>

Explanation:

A <em>three stages rocket</em> permits to separate the fuel compartments. The rocket must be launched with a huge amount of fuel to last the entire travel. Then the initial mass of the rocket and the fuel is considerably large.

As the rocket flies, part of the fuel is consumed and so some compartements may be separated and removed decreasing the mass of the rocket as it flies (<em>option D. </em>is a reasonable explanation), so the rocket only carries the necessary mass (<em>statement B</em>. is a reasonable explanation).

As the rocket moves away from Earth, the gravitational force decreases and, in the space, the amount of thrust needed is lesser, which the aerospace engineers take into account for the design (choice C. is a reasonable explanation).

The only <em>not reasonable explanation to design a three stage rocket</em> is to <em>simplify the design of the rocket</em>: designing a rocket with three modules each with different features, functions, and the detachment mechanisms brings lot of complex problems to solve. So, o<em>ption A. </em>is the correct answer.
