What is a polyatomic ion? Consulting p.117 in text, list the formulas and names of at least 10 polyatomic ions. When writing the

overall formula of an ionic compound involving polyatomic ions, why are parentheses used around the formula of a polyatomic ion when more than one such ion is present? Give an example.

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Polyatomic ions are ions composed for more than 1 atom. There are polyanions and polycations.

Polyanions have a negative charge and polycations have a positive charge.

Examples

                      Polyanions                             Polycations

  acetate           CH₃COO⁻        ammonium      NH₄⁺¹                                    

  bromate          BrO₃⁻

  chlorate           ClO₃⁻

  hydroxide        OH⁻

  nitrate              NO₃⁻

  nitrite               NO₂⁻

  sulfate             SO₄⁻²

  phosphate      PO₄⁻³

  permanganate  MnO₄⁻

We write parentheses before or after a polyatomic ion to emphasize that the oxidation number of the atom which interacts with it affects all the atoms that form part of the polyatomic ion.

At 500K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction N2O4D2NO2 is 1.5 x 10^3. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction: 6
Veronika [31]

Answer:

K = 2.96x10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

Based on the initial reaction:

N2O4 ⇄ 2NO2; K = 1.5x10³

Using Hess's law, we can multiply this reaction changing K:

3 times this reaction:

3N2O4 ⇄ 6NO2; K = (1.5x10³)³ =3.375x10⁹

The inverse reaction has a K of:

6NO2 ⇄ 3N2O4 K = 1/3.375x10⁹;

<h3>K = 2.96x10⁻¹⁰</h3>

What is the best name for the molecule below? (2 points)
Levart [38]
Given:

A compound with:

Number of carbon atoms = 9
Number of double bonds = 1 
A double bond between 5th and 6th carbon
A propyl group (CH2CH2CH3) branching off the 3rd carbon from the left

Try to illustrate the given and observe the formation of the atoms. Now, follow the correct IUPAC naming system. The name of the compound is 

4-propyl-1-hexene

Count from the right to the left, the double bond is between the 1st and 2nd carbon, thus, 1-hexene. The propyl branches out the 4th carbon from the right, thus 4-propyl.

What can the student predict if she finds the mass of the whole candy bar, including the wrapper?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

A student can predict Amount of calories present if she finds the mass of whole candy bar,including the wrapper.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Based on the mass of a whole candy bar a student can predict the calories contained in the candy bar. If the mass of candy bar is more than it means it has more calories and if the candy bar has less mass than it shows the presence of fewer calories.

More calories mean more sugar content in the candy bar. With sugar, the candy bar has carbohydrates also. The sugar present in the bar gives us energy.
