Because the thermal energy<span> dissipates too quickly and is </span>not<span> concentrated enough! :)</span>

Thermal Energy disintigrates to fast. or somthing like that. I know my Older Brother worked on i or somthing like that earlier.

A 35.40 gram hydrate of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass. Its final weight is 30.2 g. What is formula

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Na₂CO₃•H₂O

Explanation:

After it is heated, the remaining mass is the mass of sodium carbonate.

30.2 g Na₂CO₃

Mass is conserved, so the difference is the mass of the water:

35.4 g − 30.2 g = 5.2 g H₂O

Convert masses to moles:

30.2 g Na₂CO₃ × (1 mol Na₂CO₃ / 106 g Na₂CO₃) = 0.285 mol Na₂CO₃

5.2 g H₂O × (1 mol H₂O / 18.0 g H₂O) = 0.289 mol H₂O

Normalize by dividing by the smallest:

0.285 / 0.285 = 1.00 mol Na₂CO₃

0.289 / 0.285 = 1.01 mol H₂O

The ratio is approximately 1:1. So the formula of the hydrate is Na₂CO₃•H₂O.

The following list contains some common radicals. Using the charges on these ions and the idea of valence, predict the formulas

lesantik [10]

Answer : The formula for the compound sodium carbonate is $Na_2CO_3$

The formula for the compound potassium permanganate is $KMnO_4$

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.

(a) Sodium carbonate

In the compound, the sodium metal forms an ionic compound with polyatomic anion (carbonate) $CO_3^{2-}$ .

Here, sodium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $Na^{1+}$ cation and carbonate $CO_3^{2-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -2. The charges are not balanced. So, the charges are balanced by the cris-cross method. Thus, the compound formed will be, $Na_2CO_3$

Hence, the formula for the compound sodium carbonate is $Na_2CO_3$

(b) Potassium permanganate

In the compound, the potassium metal forms an ionic compound with polyatomic anion (permanganate) $MnO_4^{1-}$ .

Here, potassium is having an oxidation state of +1 called as $K^{1+}$ cation and permanganate $MnO_4^{1-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -1. The charges are balanced. Thus, the compound formed will be, $KMnO_4$

Hence, the formula for the compound potassium permanganate is $KMnO_4$
