Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: ,

1 answer:

6 0

Bynari means that the compound is formed by two kind of elements.

You have listed three ions, V 5+, Cl - and O 2-.

Binary ionic compounds are formed by a positive ion and a negative ion, so the possible ionic compound formed by the listed ions are:

1) VCl5, where the number 5 next to Cl is a subscript.

2) V2O5, where the number 2 next to V and the number 5 next to O are subscripts.

Subscripts are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the formula.

So, the empirical formula searched are VCl5 and V2O5.

I can give you other examples with more ions.

Ca (2+) and S(2-) => Ca2S2 => CaS

Na(+) and F(-) => NaF

Cs(+) and Br(-) => CsBr

Determine the equilibrium constant, Kp, for the following reaction, by using the two reference equations below: 2 NO(g) + O2(g)

klio [65]

Answer:

$Kp=3.07x10^6$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing the given reference reactions, one could rearrange them as follows:

$2 NO(g) \leftrightarrow N_2(g) + O_2(g); Kp_2 = \frac{1}{2.3 x 10^{-19}}=4.35x10^{18}$

$N_2(g) + 2O_2(g) \leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g);Kp_3=(8.4x10^{-7})^2=7.056x10^{-13}$

Subsequently, to obtain the main reaction, we add the aforementioned reference rearranged reactions as shown below (just as reference):

$2NO(g)+N_2(g)+2O_2\leftrightarrow 2NO_2(g)+N_2+O_2$

Consequently, the equilibrium constant is computed as:

$Kp=\frac{[N_2][O_2]}{[NO]^2} * \frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2][O_2]^2} =Kp_2*Kp_3=4.35x10^{18}*7.056x10^{-13}=3.07x10^6$

Best regards.

Chlorine reacts with sodium and with hydrogen.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Sodium Chloride has Ionic bond while Hydrogen Chloride has covalent bond.

Explanation:

Na has 11 electrons (2, 8, 1) and need to give away 1 electron to be stable

Cl has 17 electrons ( 2, 8, 7) and needs 1 electron to be stable.

Na transfers 1 electron to CL to form Ionic bond.

While

Hydrogen has 1 electron and shares with Chlorine to be stable.

Covalent bond involves sharing.

Complete the sentences to identify the trend in first ionization energies as one proceeds down the group 7A elements and explain

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

a)decrease

b)increase

c)smaller

d)smaller

Explanation:

Ionization energy decreases down the group due to increase in the atomic radius. The distance between the outermost electron and the nucleus increases hence the nuclear attraction for the outermost electrons become smaller and the ionization energy also become smaller as electrons are now easily removed from the outermost shell.

Hence the group of answer choices provided above.
