which are correct formulas for ionic compounds? for those that are not correct, give the correct formula and justify your answer

Chemistry

galina1969 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a. AlCl is incorrect because Al has a +3 charge while Cl only has a -1 charge. The correct formula would be AlCl₃. This balances the charges.

b. Na₃SO₄ is incorrect because Na has a charge of +1 and there are three of them so its +3 and SO₄ has a charge of -2. The correct formula would be Na₂SO₄. This balances the charges.

c. BaOH₂ is incorrect because the polyatomic ion OH would not be written that way. It would be written like this Ba(OH)₂. Writing it like BaOH₂ gives the impression that instead of having 2 OH it has 2 H and 1 O.

d. Fe₂O is incorrect because Fe either has a +2 charge or +3 charge while O has a -2 charge. Possible correct answers could be FeO (iron (II) oxide) or Fe₂O₃ (iron (III) oxide).

A sample of neon gas occupies 105 L at 27°C under a pressure of
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: Volume occupied by given neon sample at standard condition is 123.84 L.

Explanation:

Given: V_{1} = 105 L,    T_{1} = 27^{o}C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K,     P_{1} = 985 torr

At standard conditions,

T_{2} = 273 K,     P_{2} = 760 K,        V_{2} = ?

Formula used to calculate the volume is as follows.

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{985 torr \times 105 L}{300 K} = \frac{760 torr \times V_{2}}{273 K}\\V_{2} = \frac{94116.75}{760} L\\= 123.84 L

Thus, we can conclude that volume occupied by given neon sample at standard condition is 123.84 L.

After completing an experiment to determine gravimetrically the percentage of water in a hydrate, a student reported a value of
zzz [600]

Answer:

A. Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to spatter out of the crucible.

Explanation:

Hi

The percentage of water in the sample is lower than expected.

A. Strong initial heating caused some of the hydrate sample to spatter out of the crucible:

If part of the sample is splashed from the crucible the mass of water detected will be less.

B. The dehydrated sample absorbed moisture after heating:

If the sample absorbs water after heating the percentage of water would be higher than expected.

C. The amount of the hydrate sample used was too small:

Depending on the sample size, different procedures can be chosen for analysis.

D. The crucible was not heated to constant mass before use:

In many occasions the crucible is heated next to the sample and not in previous form.

E. Excess heating caused the dehydration sample to decompose:

If the sample decomposes during heating, the analysis should be discarded.

What is the ph of a 0.20 M solution of NH4Cl? [Kb(NH3) = 1.8 x 10^-5]
Pavlova-9 [17]

"NH4+ <----> NH3 + H+  

The constant of this equilibrium is: K = Kw / Kb = 1 x 10^-14 / 1.8 x 10^-5 =5.56 x 10^-10  

5.56 x 10^-10 = x^2 / 0.20-x  

x = [H+] =1.1 x 10^-5 M  

pH = 5.0"

Jet001 [13]
<h3> The supplements that are minerals are</h3>
  1. calcium
  2. sodium
  3. iron
  4. zinc

<u><em> Explanation</em></u>

  • calcium   and sodium  are major  minerals   which are required  by the body for

      calcium-  needed  for muscle,hearing bone and  for the support of synthesis and function of cells

     sodium-   is needed to control blood  pressure  and  also for proper  muscle and nerve  function

  • Zinc  and iron are  required   in trace and both are needed for good health
