Answer: The formula for a compound made from $X^{3+}$ and $Y^{3-}$ is $XY$ .

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here cation is having an oxidation state of +3 written as $X^{3+}$ and anion is having an oxidation state of -3 written as $Y^{3-}$ . Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $XY$ .

Thus formula for a compound made from $X^{3+}$ and $Y^{3-}$ is $XY$ .

Well, a compound has a total charge of 0. So, it's electrically neutral. Since the X is 3+ and the Y is 3- they add to 0. Meaning no subscripts are necessary. Why don't you try a different combo?

Like:

A^3 and B^1-, to get a 3- charge you need 3xB^1- so the formula is AB3

Does this help?

When a solution containing 1.4000 g of Ba(NO3)2 and 2.4000 g of HSO3NH2 is boiled, a precipitate forms. One possible identity fo

Answer:

See explanation for detailed solution

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is Ba(NO3)2 + 2HSO3NH2 → Ba(SO3NH2)2 + 2HNO3

Number of moles of Ba(NO3)2 = 1.4 g/ 261.337 g/mol = 5.36 × 10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of Ba(NO3)2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(NO3)2 yields 5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(SO3NH2)2

For HSO3NH2

Number of moles = 2.4g/97.10 g/mol =0.0247 moles

2 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

0.0247 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 0.0247 ×1/2 = 0.0137 moles

Hence, Ba(NO3)2 is the limiting reactant

The theoretical yield of Ba(SO3NH2)2 is 5.36 × 10^-3 moles × 329.4986 g/mol = 1.766 g

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass = mass/ number of moles

Molar mass = 1.6925 g/5.36 × 10^-3 moles = 315.76 g

What methods were used to clean up the Chernobyl and three mile island accidents?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Electric evaporator has been used to clean up the Chernobyl and 3 mile island accident.

Explanation:

About 14 years back, there was a puff of radioactive steam from the evaporator used in the "Three-mile island" nuclear plant. It took two years for the electric evaporator to clean up the 2.2 million gallons of water that have been destroyed because of the nuclear power plant accident.

The steam that came out of the electric evaporator carried a radioactive form of hydrogen and tritium with itself. Cost of clean up was $1 billion.
