Answer:

X_3Y_2 is the formula.

Explanation:

Given:

Element X forms charge +2.Hence X is the cation and it's valency is 2.

Element Y forms charge -3.Hence Y is the anion and its valency is 3.

Method:

The number of cations = valency of anion

The number of anions = valency of cation.

Hence the correct formula will be X_3Y_2.

Answer:

X3Y2

Explanation:

To represent the chemical formula of the binary compound, the valencies of both elements need to be exchanged.

Valency is the combining power of elements, ions or radicals. It is the value that shows how an element tend to combine with other elements.

In this particular question, the valence of the element X is +2, this means when it enters into chemical combination, it goes in with the power of positive 2. Same goes for the element Y, when it goes into chemical combination, it is expected that it goes in with the negative power of 3.

To completely write the chemical formula of the compound formed from the combination of both, we simply exchange the valency as said above. It must be noted that while the less electronegative element carry a positive or less negative charge , the more electronegative element will carry a negative or more negative charge.

We write the less electronegative element before the more electronegative element while writing the formula of the compound

How much thermal energy is added to 10.0 g of ice at −20.0°C to convert it to water vapor at 120.0°C?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

7479 cal.

31262.2 joules

Explanation:

This is a calorimetry problem where water in its three states changes from ice to vapor.

We must use, the calorimetry formula and the formula for latent heat.

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = Clat . m

First of all, let's determine the heat for ice, before it melts.

10 g . 0.5 cal/g°C ( 0° - (-20°C) = 100 cal

Now, the ice has melted.

Q = Clat heat of fusion . 10 g

Q = 79.7 cal/g . 10 g → 797 cal

We have water  at 0°, so this water has to receive heat until it becomes vapor. Let's determine that heat.

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = 10 g . 1 cal/g°C (100°C - 0°C) → 1000 cal

Water is ready now, to become vapor so let's determine the heat.

Q = Clat heat of vaporization . m

Q = 539.4 cal/g . 10 g → 5394 cal

Finally we have vapor water, so let's determine the heat gained when this vapor changes the T° from 100°C to 120°

Q = m . C . ΔT

Q = 10 g . 0.470 cal/g°C . (120°C - 100°C) → 94 cal

Now, we have to sum all the heat that was added in all the process.

100 cal + 797 cal + 1000 cal + 5394 cal + 94 cal =7479 cal.

We can convert this unit to joules, which is more acceptable for energy terms.

1 cal is 4.18 Joules.

Then, 7479 cal are (7479 . 4.18) = 31262.2 joules

Which symbol equation correctly describes the reaction: Wood (mostly glucose) burns in the presence of oxygen to form water and
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Glucose = C6H12O6

oxygen = O2

water = H2O

carbon dioxide = CO2

balanced equation :

<em>C6H12O6 (s) + 6 O2 (g)   --------------> 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (g)</em>
