Please, find the complete question in the picture attached.

Answer:

1. Na₂O

2. AlF₃

3. MgO

4. Ca₃P₂

Explanation:

1. Na⁺ and O²⁻

An ionic compound will be formed when two ions of opposite charge attract each other.

The positive ion is called cation and the negative ion is called anion.

Thus, every ionic compound has a cation and an anion electrostatically bonded.

The ions must combine in a proportion that genders a neutral compound: so you must have as many cations as negative charge has one anion and as many anions as positive charge has one cation.

This is, if the cation has charge +x, there will be x anions, and if the anion has charge -y, there will be y cations.

Simbolically:

Cation:A^{+x}\\ \\ Anion:B^{-y}\\ \\ Compound:A_yB_x

As you see, the subscripts for each element in the chemical formula are obtained by the exchage of the charges of the ions.

Then, for Na⁺ and O²⁻, the subscript for Na will be 2 and the subscript for O will be 1; and the formula of the ionic compound formed by this pair ot ions is:

  • Na₂O

2. Al³⁺ and F⁻

  • The subscript of Al will be 1 (because the F ion has charge 1-, and the subscript of F will be 3 (because the Al ion has charge +3).

Thus the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:

  • AlF₃

3. Mg²⁺ and S²⁻

  • The charge 2+ from Mg atom wil become the subscript 2 of S atom, and the charge 2- will become the subscript 2 of Mg atom:

That results in the formula: Mg₂S₂

Except for some special compounds, the chemical formula is simplified, dividing by the least common denominator. In this case, that means that the two 2 subscripts are simplified to 1, and the final chemical formula for the ionic compound formed by this pair of ions is:

  • MgO

4. Ca²⁺ and P³⁻

  • The charge 2+ from Ca will become subscript 2 for P and the charge 3- whill become subscript 3 for Ca.

Hence, the ionic compound formed by these two ions is:

  • Ca₃P₂

Which of the following series of isoelectronic ions (Mg²⁺, N³⁻, F⁻, Si⁴⁺) has the ionic radii in order of largest to smallest? A
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Option (d) is correct

N³⁻ > F⁻ > Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺

Explanation:

Total electrons for all the species = 10

So these are <u>iso electronic</u> with each other.

We know

Ionic radii ∝ \frac{Magnitude of Negative Charge}{Magnitude of Positive Charge}

  • Si⁴⁺ has 14 protons and 10 electrons
  • Mg²⁺ has 12 protons and 10 electrons
  • N³⁻ has 7 protons and 10 electrons
  • F⁻ has 9 protons and 10 electrons
  • Iso electronic species with greatest number of protons have small size and vice versa.
  • So Si⁺⁴ have smallest size and N³⁻ have largest in size

Which reactions are single displacement reactions? 2NaBr + CaF2 → 2NaF + CaBr2 SnO2 + 2H2 → Sn + 2H2O 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O 2KClO3 →
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer : The correct options are, SnO_2+2H_2\rightarrow Sn+2H_2O and 2Al+6HCl\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3H_2

Explanation :

Single displacement reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which the more reactive element displaces the less reactive element.

Option A reaction : 2NaBr+CaF_2\rightarrow 2NaF+CaBr_2

It is an example of double displacement reaction because in this reaction a positive cation and a negative anion of the two reactants exchange their places to form two new products.

Option B reaction : SnO_2+2H_2\rightarrow Sn+2H_2O

It is an example of single displacement reaction.

Option C reaction : 4Na+O_2\rightarrow 2Na_2O

It is an example of combination reaction because in this reaction two reactants react to give a single product.

Option D reaction : 2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2

It is an example of decomposition reaction because in this reaction a single reactant decomposes into two or more products.

Option E reaction : 2Al+6HCl\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3H_2

It is an example of single displacement reaction because in this reaction the most react element, aluminium displaces the less reactive element, hydrogen.

Hence, the options B and E are single displacement reactions.

Determine the resulting pH when 12mL if 0.16M HCl are reacted with 32 mL if 0.24M KOH.
TEA [102]

Answer:

pH = 13.1

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, we can set up the following equation:

HCl+KOH\rightarrow KCl+H_2O

Thus, since there is 1:1 mole ratio of HCl to KOH, we can find the reacting moles as follows:

n_{HCl}=0.012L*0.16mol/L=0.00192mol\\\\n_{KOH}=0.032L*0.24mol/L=0.00768mol

Thus, since there are less moles of HCl, we calculate the remaining moles of KOH as follows:

n_{KOH}=0.00768mol-0.00192mol=0.00576mol

And the resulting concentration of KOH and OH ions as this is a strong base:

[KOH]=[OH^-]=\frac{0.00576mol}{0.012L+0.032L}=0.131M

And the resulting pH is:

pH=14+log(0.131)\\\\pH=13.1

Regards!
