<span>copper(II) nitrate

the formula can be rewritten as Cu1(NO3)2

if you take the subscripts, 1 and 2 and make them the charges of the opposite ions, you have:

Cu^2 (NO3)^1

Since the cation is always written first in ionic compounds, the Cu has a 2+ charge and the anion is written second therefore NO3 has a 1- charge:

Cu^2+ (NO3)^1-

Cu is copper but it is a transition metal which means it can have more than one charge.

copper can have a 1+ or a 2+ charge (generally)

in this case it has a 2+ so you need to indicate this in the name by using a roman numeral after the name:

copper(II)

NO3^1- is a polyatomic anion and has a fixed charge and a name (this can be looked up):

nitrate

put the two names together and don't forget the roman numeral:

copper(II) nitrate </span>

Cu(NO₃)₂ is known as Copper (II) Nitrate.

If you ionize it you name it easier:
Cu²⁺ is copper (II) cation
NO₃⁻ is the nitrate radical (poly-atomic ion)
Hence copper (ii) nitrate

4. Charles runs two laps around a 400 meter track. What is his total distance traveled?
Black_prince [1.1K]

The answer is 800 meters.

You find this by taking the total distance of the first lap and doubling it. You could also find it by adding 400 meters to 400 meters, which would total at 800 meters

Which molecules does a cell need from food to make these membrane
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer: The organic molecules required for building cellular material and tissues must come from food. Carbohydrates or sugars are the primary source of organic carbons in the animal body. During digestion, digestible carbohydrates are ultimately broken down into glucose and used to provide energy through metabolic pathways.

Explain why oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in opposite directions in the lungs?
Vilka [71]

Answer:

There is a higher oxygen content in the air of the lungs than that of oxygen-depleted blood and a lower carbon dioxide concentration. This gradient of concentration causes gas exchange during respiration.
