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

White phosphorus melts and then vaporizes at high temperatures. The gas effuses at a rate that is 0.404 times that of neon in the same apparatus under the same conditions-There are 4 atoms of P in the molecule

Explanation:

Ar=30,97g/mol

$R_{Px$ / $R_Ne}$ = $\sqrt{Mr(Ne)/Mr(Px)}$ =0,404

0,404= $\sqrt{20,18/30,97*x}$

$0,404^{2}$ =20,18/30,97*x

X=20,18/30,97*0,163

X=4

There are 4 atoms of P in the molecule

A 1.42-g sample of a pure compound with formula m2so4 was dissolved in water and treated with an ex- cess of aqueous calcium chl

solong [7]

The reaction between $m_{2}SO_{4}$ with calcium chloride can be shown as- $m_{2}SO_{4}$ + $CaCl_{2}$ → $CaSO_{4}$ ↓+2mCl. The molecular weight of $CaSO_{4}$ is 136.14g. The weight of sulfate ion is 96.06g. The molecular weight of $m_{2}SO_{4}$ = (2×m + 96.06). From the reaction we can see that 1 mole of calcium chloride reacts with 1 moles $m_{2}SO_{4}$ to produce 1 mole of calcium sulfate. Now 1.36g of calcium sulfate is equivalent to 1.36/136.14=9.989× $10^{-3}$ moles of calcium sulfate.

Thus, 9.989× $10^{-3}$ moles of $m_{2}SO_{4}$ reacts in this reaction.

Let assume the atomic mass of m is x thus the molecular weight of $m_{2}SO_{4}$ is 2x+96.

So we may write 9.989× $10^{-3}$ × (2x+96) =1.42

Or, 2x + 96 = 142.146

Or, 2x = 46.146

Or, x = 23.073

Thus the atomic mass of m is 23.073. The atom (m) is sodium (Na).

According to observations, the overall chemical composition of our solar system and other similar star systems is approximately

jonny [76]

Answer:A

Explanation:

The solar system consist of the sun, the planets, stars and other objects. The chemical composition of the Sun consist mainly of Hydrogen and helium.

The sun is the largest object in the Solar system, it comprises nearly all the matter in the Solar System, Also the largest planet after the Sun are Jupiter and Saturn are giant planets forming almost the remaining matter of the solar system.

Like the Sun, the mass of Jupiter and Saturn are composed of roughly 98% hydrogen and helium with 2% of all the other elements combined.
