Answer:
To determine the correct subscripts in a chemical formula, you have to solve how many atoms you need to balance the charge.
For example if I had the compound Calcium Fluoride I would look at the periodic table and see that Calcium's ionic formula is
Ca2+
. How do I know this? Well all elements want to have 8 valance electrons so they can be stable(happy). Seeing that Calcium has 2 valance electrons it is going to give away 2 electrons because that is easier than gaining 6 to be happy. Since Calcium has given away 2 electrons it has two more protons than electrons. We know that Protons have a Positive charge, Electrons have Negative charge, and the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number of an element in its pure non-ionic state. (Meaning it doesn't have a positive or negative charge; it is balanced.)
So if calcium gave away two electrons, it will have two more protons than an electron giving it a (2+) charge. The same process can be applied to Fluoride. Since fluoride is one to the left of the noble gases(group 18 or 8A) on the periodic table we know that it has 7 valance electrons because it is in group 7A or 17.
Knowing that we have 7 electrons the fluoride atom will gain an extra electron. Since the fluoride atom gained an extra electron it will have one more negative charge than a positive making it a ^(−)ion.
So you know that Calcium has a 2+ charge and that fluoride has a 1- charge, you then need these ions to balance out. So you need two fluorine atoms with a 1- ions to balance out the 2+ ion of calcium. Your final answer would be
CaF2
because you need two fluorine atoms to balance out the 2+ charge of the calcium.
Final Tip: Determine the charges then inverse the charges, remove the positive and negative superscipts, and write the charge numbers as a sub script. Ie. Calcium Fluoride
Ca2+ and F−
inversing and removing the charge signs would give you
Answer: 8.45 L
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial volume (V1) = 3.5L
Initial pressure (P1) = 2.5 atm
[Since final pressure is given in torr, convert 2.5 atm to torr
If 1 atm = 760 torr
2.5 atm = 2.5 x 760 = 1900 torr
Final volume (V2) = ?
Final pressure (P2) = 787 torr
Since pressure and volume are given while temperature remains the same, apply the formula for Boyle's law
P1V1 = P2V2
3.5L x 1900 torr = 787 torr x V2
6650L•torr = 787 torr•V2
Divide both sides by 787 torr
6650L•torr/787 torr = 787 torr•V2/787 torr
8.45 L = V2
Thus, the volume of the gas at 787 torr and at the same temperature is 8.45 Liters
Answer:
True!
Explanation:
Living things are classified by the characteristics they have in common. All living organisms are classified within the organization based on extremely fundamental, shared characteristics.
