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).

Ca3(PO4)2 + 3 H2SO4 ⟶ 2 H3PO4 + 3 CaSO4
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction

               Ca₃(PO₄)₂  +  3H₂SO₄   ⇒   2H₃SO₄  +  3CaSO₄

To answer this question just calculate the molar mass of both reactants.

Molar mass of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ = (3 x 40) + (2 x 31) + (8 x 16)

                                         = 120 + 62 + 128

                                         = 310 g

Molar mass of 3H₂SO₄ = 3[(2 x 1) + (1 x 32) + (4 x 16)]

                                      = 3[2 + 32 + 64]

                                      = 3[98]

                                      = 294 g

Conclusion

310 g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ will react with 294 g of 3H₂SO₄

Which two statements are true about a system?
jok3333 [9.3K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

B) a system is a group of objects analyzed as one unit

C) energy they moves across system boundaries is conserved

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • System is a group of objects analyzed as one unit .
  • An open system is a system that freely exchanges energy and matter with its surroundings.
  • A closed system is a system that exchanges only energy with its surroundings, not matter. An isolated system does not exchange energy or matter with its surroundings.

Based on your answer in part B, arrange the five elements in order of their reactivity. Drag the most reactive element to the to
amm1812

Answer: Order of the elements from most reactive to least reactive is:

Mg >  Zn > Fe > H > Cu

Explanation: Reactivity of the elements is the tendency of the elements to loose or gain electrons with ease.

As, all the given elements are metals, so the metals which will loose electrons easily will be more reactive. To study the reactivity of metals, we use reactivity series.

The metals which are more reactive are placed on the top of the reactivity series and which are less reactive are placed at the bottom.

Hence, the order of the elements from most reactive to least reactive is:

Mg >  Zn > Fe > H > Cu

Reactivity series is attached below.
