Chemistry
1 answer:
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).

How many moles of copper are needed to react with sulfur to produce 0.25 moles Ol
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

                       0.50 moles of Cu

Explanation:

                    The balanced chemical equation for given synthetic reaction is,

                                          2 Cu + S → Cu₂S

According to balance chemical equation,

                  1 mole of Cu₂S is produced by  =  2 moles of Cu

So,

          0.25 moles of Cu₂S will be produced by  =  X moles of Cu

Solving for X,

                      X  =  0.25 mol × 2 mol /  1 mol

                      X  =  0.50 moles of Cu

Hence, as the molar ratio of Cu to Cu₂S is 2:1 hence, to produce 0.25 moles of Cu₂S we will need 0.50 moles of Cu.

What is the strongest type of intermolecular force between solve and solvent in Cu(s) in Ag(s)?
maks197457 [2]

The strongest intermolecular forces are in ion-ion bonds which happen when a metal bonds to another metal. 2. The next strongest forces are ion-dipole bonds which happen when metals bond to nonmetals. 3.

How many moles are in 187.54 grams of magnesium chlorate?
Svetlanka [38]

Hey there!

Magnesium chlorate: Mg(ClO₃)₂

Find molar mass.

Mg: 1 x 24.305 = 24.305

Cl: 2 x 35.453 = 70.906

O: 6 x 16 = 96

------------------------------------

                      191.211 g/mol

We have 187.54 grams.

187.54 ÷ 191.211 = 0.9808

There are 0.9808 moles in 187.54 grams of magnesium chlorate.

Hope this helps!
