Answer:

AX₂

Explanation:

Binary compounds:

The compounds which are made up of the atoms of only two elements are called binary compounds.

For example:

The following compounds are binary:

HCl

H₂O

NH₃

HCl is binary because it is composed of only hydrogen and chlorine. Ammonia is also binary compound because it is made up of only two elements nitrogen and hydrogen.

water is also binary because it is also made up of only two elements hydrogen and oxygen.

In given question it is stated that the charge of cation is twice than the anion which means its charge would be +2 thus anionic part will have the charge -1. In neutral compound the positive and negative charges must be equal in magnitude to cancel the effect of each other and make the compound neutral. So, there must be two anionic atom present so that charge becomes -2 and cancel the +2 charge of cationic part. Thus the formula will be,

AX₂

A⁺²X₂⁻²

You have 500 mL of 5 M HCl already made. You need to dilute the solution to 1 M HCl. How much water will you need to add?

hram777 [196]

Answer:

You need to add 400mL of water

Explanation:

500mL = 5 M HCI That means that if you divide both sides by 5

100mL = 1 M HCI If you need ot get rid of 4 M HCI then you add 400 mL of water because that is what it is equal to

What is the molarity of a solution containing 60. grams of NaOH dissolved in 400. mL of water?

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: 3.75 M

Explanation:

400 mL = 0.4 L

NaOH has a molar mass of around 40 g/mol.

$\frac{60 grams}{40 g/mol}$ = 1.5 moles

Molarity = $\frac{1.5 moles}{0.4 Liters}$ = 3.75 M

Barium sulfate is made by the following reaction.

ipn [44]

Answer:

%age Yield = 96 %

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation for given double replacement reaction is,

Ba(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2 NaNO₃

Step 1: Calculate moles of Ba(NO₃)₂:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 75.1 g / 261.33 g/mol

Moles = 0.2873 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂

Step 2: Find out moles of BaSO₄ formed:

According to balance chemical equation,

1 mole of Ba(NO₃)₂ produced = 1 mole of BaSO₄

So,

0.2873 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ will produce = X moles of BaSO₄

Solving for X,

X = 0.2873 mol × 1 mol / 1 mol

X = 0.2873 moles of BaSO₄

Step 3: Calculate Theoretical Mass of BaSO₄:

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.2873 mol × 233.38 g/mol

Mass = 67.07 g of BaSO₄

Step 4: Calculate %age Yield as:

Theoretical Yield = 67.07 g

Actual Yield = 64.4 g

%age Yield = ???

Formula Used:

%age Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100

Putting Values,

%age Yield = (64.4 g ÷ 67.07 g) × 100

%age Yield = 96.01 % ≈ 96 %

For the closed system below: Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq) How would you know if the system is at equilibrium?

zaharov [31]

For the chemical reactiom to be at equilibrium:
1- The rate of forward reaction must be equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.
2- The mass of EACH element must be equal before and after the reaction (no NET change in mass), otherwise the equilibrium will shift.

Important note: you need to check the mass of each element before and after the reaction (i.e, reactants side and products side) and the not the mass of the system as a whole. This is because the mass of the whole system will be preserved whether the system is at equilibrium or not (this is the fundamental law of mass conservation)
