Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-

hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between $Zn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)$

First Formula would be $ZnF_{2}$

Second empirical formula is between $Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)$

Second Formula would be $Zn_{2}O_{2}$

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so $Zn_{2}O_{2}$ would be written as $ZnO$

Third empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)$

Third Formula would be : $NiF_{4}$

Forth empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)$

Forth Formula would be : $Ni_{2}O_{4}$ or $NiO_{2}$

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as $NiO_{2}$ .

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : $ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}$

A 25.0g sample of brass, which has a specific heat capacity of 0.375·J·g−1°C−1, is dropped into an insulated container containin

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The equilibrium temperature of water is 25.6 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample of brass = 25.0 grams

The specific heat capacity = 0.375 J/g°C

Mass of water = 250.0 grams

Temperature of water = 25.0 °C

The initial temperature of the brass is 96.7°C

Step 2: Calculate the equilibrium temperature

Heat lost = heat gained

Q(sample) = -Q(water)

Q = m*C* ΔT

m(sample)*c(sample)*ΔT(sample) = - m(water)*c(water)*ΔT(water)

⇒m(sample) = the mass of the sample of brass = 25.0 grams

⇒with c(sample) =The specific heat capacity = 0.375 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT = the change of temperature = T2 - T1 =T2 - 96.7 °C

⇒with m(water) = the mass of the water = 250.0 grams

⇒with c(water) = the specific heat capacity = 4.184 J/g°C

⇒with ΔT(water) = the change of temperature of water = T2 - T1 = T2 - 25.0°C

25.0 * 0.375 * (T2 - 96.7) = - 250.0 * 4.184 J/g°C * (T2 - 25.0°C)

9.375T2 - 906.56 = -1046T2 + 26150

9.375T2 + 1046T2 = 26150 + 906.56

1055.375T2 = 27056.26

T2 = 25.6 °C

The equilibrium temperature of water is 25.6 °C

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? (Not sure if this is chemistry or not lol)

Leni [432]

Answer:

When white glue is in the bottle, there's not enough air inside the bottle to cause the water to evaporate to make the glue sticky. Basically, the bottle holds the glue from the air and keeps the glue from going everywhere.

A chemical plant produces ammonia using the following reaction at a very high temperature and pressure. Which design issue is mo

Lorico [155]

Answer:

D. The equipment needed to accommodate the high temperature and pressure will be expensive to produce.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the considered reaction, it is clear it is an exothermic reaction because it produces energy; and therefore, the higher the temperature the more reactants are yielded as the reverse reaction is favored. Moreover, since the effect of pressure is verified as favoring the side with fewer moles; in this case the products side (2 moles of ammonia).

In such a way, the high pressure favors the formation of ammonia whereas the high temperature the formation of hydrogen and nitrogen and therefore, option A is ruled out. Since the high pressure shifts the reaction rightwards and the high temperature leftwards, we would not be able to know whether the reaction has ended or not because it will be a "go and come back" process, that is why B is also discarded. Now, since hydrogen and nitrogen would be the "wastes", we discard C because they are not toxic. That is why the most accurate answer would be D. because it is actually true that such equipment is quite expensive.

Best regards!
