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

N2+3H2 → 2NH3

Explanation:

N2 (g) + H2 (g) gives out NH3 (g)

Now balance it. You have two reactants with compositions involving a single element, which makes it very easy to keep track of how much is on each side. I would balance the nitrogens, and then the hydrogens.(If you balance the hydrogen reactant with a whole number first, I can guarantee you that you will have to give NH3 a new stoichiometric coefficient.)

N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) gives out 2NH3 (g)

The stoichiometric coefficients tell you that if we can somehow treat every component in the reaction as the same (like on a per-mol basis, hinthint), then one "[molar] equivalent" of nitrogen yields two [molar] equivalents of ammonia.

Luckily, one mol of anything is equal in quantity to one mol of anything else because the comparison is made in the units of mols.

So what do we do? Convert to

mols (remember the hint?).

28g N2 × 1 mol N2/ 2 × 14.007) g N2

= 0.9995 mol N2

At this point you don't even need to calculate the number of mols of H2 . Why? Because H2 is about 2 g/mol, which means we have over 10 mols of H2. We have 1 mol N2, and we need three times as many mols of H2 as we have

N2.

After doing the actual calculation you should realize that we have about 4 times as much H2 as we need. Therefore the limiting reagent is clearly N2.

Thus, we should yield 2×0.9995=1.9990 mols of NH3 (refer back to the reaction). So this is the second and last calculation we need to do:

1.9990 mol NH3 × 17.0307 g NH3/ 1 mol NH3

= 34.0444 g NH3

How is a gas's ability to fill a container different from that of a liquid or a solid?

svp [43]

Well a solid and a liquid is completely different from a gas. For a gas you need to have an air tight seal in order for the gas to stay in, or a special type of container so the gas doesn't decompose the container. And a liquid or a solid it's self explanatory. With some liquids you need special containers to hold the liquid so it doesn't decompose the container it's in.

Bromo-4-fluorohexane has two chiral carbon atoms; therefore, the maximum number of possible stereoisomers that can be formed is

Zepler [3.9K]

Here we have to draw the four isomers of the compound 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.

The four isomers of the compound is shown in the figure.

In an organic molecule the chiral -C center is that where four (4) different groups are present. In 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane the 3 and 4 positions are chiral centers. The possible isomers of a molecule can be obtained from the formula 2n. As here 2 chiral centers are present thus number of stereoisomers will be 2×2 = 4.

The four different isomers as shown in the figure are 3R-, 4R-; 3S-, 4S; 3R, 4S and 3S-, 4R- 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane.

In the 3-bromo-4-fluorohexane the functional groups are -Br, C₂H₅, -C₃H₆F and -H for 3-position and -F, -C₂H₅, -C₃H₆ and -H for 4-position respectively.

The priority of the -3 position will be Br > C₃H₆F > C₂H₅ > H and for -4 position F > C₃H₆Br > C₂H₅ > H. If the rotation from the higher priority group to lower is clockwise and anticlockwise then the S- and R- notation are used respectively. However if the -H atom is present at the horizontal position then the notation will be reverse.

Thus the four isomers of the compound is shown.
