The reactant side of a balanced chemical equation is shown below.
1 answer:
<u>Answer:</u> There are 8 hydrogen atoms on the product side in the reaction.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.
This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This law also states that total number of individual atoms on the reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.
For the given reaction, the balance chemical equation follows:
<u>On reactant side:</u>
Number of Phosphorus atoms = 1
Number of Chlorine atoms = 5
Number of Hydrogen atoms = 8
Number of Oxygen atoms = 4
<u>On Product side:</u>
Number of Phosphorus atoms = 1
Number of Chlorine atoms = 5
Number of Hydrogen atoms = 8
Number of Oxygen atoms = 4
Hence, there are 8 hydrogen atoms on the product side in the reaction.

Answer: The ionic formula of compound is and the name is cobalt phosphide.
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.
Here element Co is having an oxidation state of +3 called as cation and phosphprous forms
anion with oxidation state of -3. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral
The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:
1. Positive is written first followed by the oxidation state of metal in roman numerals in square brackets.
2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
Thus the name of is cobalt phosphide.
