How do you know what numbers in a chemical formula are significant

Chemistry
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

All the numbers in a chemical formula are significant, It is because the numbers in a chemical formula denote the number of different atoms present in the particular compound.

For example in H2SO4 there are 2 H 1 S and 4 O. This means 1 H2SO4 has 2 hydrogen 1 sulphur and 4 oxygen.

Bond [772]

Answer:

The dissociation of copper sulfate into ions is an exothermic chemical reaction that releases heat into the surroundings.

Explanation:

Some of the potential energy stored in the solid sample of anhydrous copper sulfate is released as heat as the sample dissolves and dissociates into ions in the water. This is due to the large lattice energy of the crystalline copper sulfate.

What happens when nitrogen fills its valence shell?
RSB [31]
Hello!

Like many other elements in chemistry, when an atom's valence shell is filled the element becomes stable. Through the octet rule we know that when the very last valence shell becomes filled, the atom is stable and therefore it is highly unlikely for the element to form bonds with that of another.

I hope this helped!

Give the major force between ethanol and rubbing alcohol.
insens350 [35]
The major force between ethanol and rubbing alcohol is hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bond are intermolecular force that are weaker than covalent bond but holds atoms together in a molecules. For an hydrogen bond to be formed, a molecule must contain an hydrogen atom that will be bonded to one of the most electronegative element.
