<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is sodium nitride and Na_3N

<u>For b:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is strontium oxide and SrO

<u>For c:</u> The chemical name and chemical formula formed is aluminium chloride and AlCl_3

<u>Explanation:</u>

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.  

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive 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'.

  • <u>For a:</u> Sodium and nitrogen:

Sodium is the 11th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^1

To form Na^{+} ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^3.

To form N^{3-} ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for sodium nitride is Na_3N

  • <u>For b:</u> Oxygen and strontium

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Kr]5s^2.

To form Sr^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^4.

To form O^{2-} ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.  

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium oxide is SrO

  • <u>For c:</u> Aluminium and chlorine

Aluminium is the 13th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^23p^1

To form Al^{3+} ion, this element will loose 3 electrons.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^23p^5

To form Cl^{-} ion, this element will gain 1 electron.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for aluminium chloride is AlCl_3

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Faraday's constant will be smaller than it is supposed to be.

Explanation:

If the copper anode was not completely dry when its mass was measured, mass of the copper must be heavier than it should have been. Hence, the calculated Faraday’s constant would be smaller than it is supposed to be since when calculating Faraday’s Constant, the charge transferred is divided by the moles of electrons.

A certain gas at 2oC and 1.00 atm pressure fills a 4.0 container. What volume will the gas occupy at 100oC and 780 torr pressure
artcher [175]

The final volume V₂=4.962 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

T₁=20 + 273 = 293 K

P₁= 1 atm

V₁ = 4 L

T₂=100+273 = 373 K

P₂=780 torr=1,02632 atm

Required

The final volume

Solution

Combined gas law :

P₁V₁/T₁=P₂V₂/T₂

Input the value :

V₂=(P₁V₁T₂)/(P₂T₁)

V₂=(1 x 4 x 373)/(1.02632 x 293)

V₂=4.962 L

Is a planar carbon "backbone" possible for propane? Explain.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Cyclopropane has a planar carbon back bone while propane does not

Explanation:

We have to recognize that in straight chain saturated organic compounds, carbon atoms have a tetrahedral geometry. Each carbon atom is bonded to four other atoms.

However, carbon atoms in cyclic compounds are also sp3 hybridized with each carbon bonded to only four other atoms but the ring system is highly strained.

Cyclopropane is a necessarily planar molecule with a bond angle that is far less than the expected tetrahedral bond angle due to strain in the molecule. Hence, the carbon atoms may have have a "planar backbone".
