Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Fe(CN)₂, FeCO₃, Pb(CN)₄, Pb(CO₃)₂

Explanation:

Cations (positively charged ions) can only form ionic bonds with anions (negatively charged ions). However, you can't just simply put one cation and one anion together to form a compound. Each compound needs to been neutral, or have an overall charge of 0. When cations and anions do not have charges that perfectly cancel, you need to modify the amount of each ion in the compound.

1.) Fe(CN)₂
-----> Fe²⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0

2.) FeCO₃

-----> Fe²⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +2 + (-2) = 0

3.) Pb(CN)₄

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +4 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0

4.) Pb(CO₃)₂

-----> Pb⁴⁺ and CO₃²⁻

-----> +4 +(-2) + (-2) = 0

Where, approximately, is the negative pole on each of these molecules?

Leni [432]

Orbital shell notation of fluorine is 2. 7 while that of oxygen s 2. 6. This means that these elements (that follow each other in the periodic table) will have high electronegativity in molecules due to their high atomic number (which causes them to strongly attract electron orbital shell closer to their nucleus). NB: Atomic number of a peroid increased from left to right of the periodic table.

Therefore, in the first molecule, the negative dipole would most likely be located between the F atoms In the second molecule the negative molecule would be most likely located in the between the O and F atoms.

An analytical chemist weighs out 0.188 g of an unknown triprotic acid into a 250 mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark wit

Anon25 [30]

<u>Answer:</u> The molar mass of unknown triprotic acid is 97.66 g/mol

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of triprotic acid

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=3\\M_1=?M\\V_1=250mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0600M\\V_2=95.9mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3\times M_1\times 250=1\times 0.0600\times 95.9\\\\M_1=0.0077M$

To calculate the molecular mass of solute, we use the equation used to calculate the molarity of solution:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

We are given:

Molarity of solution = 0.0077 M

Given mass of triprotic acid = 0.188 g

Volume of solution = 250 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0077M=\frac{0.188\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of triprotic acid}\times 250}\\\\\text{Molar mass of triprotic acid}=97.66g/mol$

Hence, the molar mass of unknown triprotic acid is 97.66 g/mol

Part a the sun produces energy via fusion. one of the fusion reactions that occurs in the sun is 411h→42he+201e how much energy

Orlov [11]

The equation for the nuclear fusion reaction is,
4 ¹₁H → ₂⁴He + 2 ₁⁰e
Calculation of mass defect,
Δm = [mass of products - mass of reactants]
= 4(1.00782) - [4.00260 + 2(0.00054858)]
= 0.0275828 g/mole
Given that,
Mass of Hydrogen-1 = 2.58 g
The no. of moles of ₁¹H = 2.58 g / 1.00782 = 2.56 moles
Therefore, the mass defect for 2.58 g of ₁¹H is,
= 2.56 moles * (0.0275828 g / 4) = 0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg
Energy for (0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg) is,
= (0.01765 x 10⁻³ kg) (3.0 x 10⁸)² = 1.59 x 10¹² J

If the metal in the ionic compound is a transition element (with variable charge metal ions), the ionic charge is written as a R

spayn [35]

Answer : The name of ionic compound is, Copper(II) fluoride.

Explanation :

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

3. In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in-front of positive ions.

$CuF_2$

$CuF_2$ is an ionic compound because copper element is a metal and fluorine element is a non-metal. The bond formed between a metal and a non-metal is always ionic in nature.

The oxidation state of copper in $CuF_2$ is, (+2)

Thus, the name of ionic compound is, Copper(II) fluoride.
