Parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a chemical reaction, sometimes, a compound may be composed of group of polyatomic ions with other ions. Some of the polyatomic ions are sulfate, carbonate, nitrate, hydroxide, bicarbonate, ammonia etc.

So these polyatomic ions are formed by combining two or more elements. Thus, if the number of polyatomic ions in a compound is more than one, then we use parathesis and write those polyatomic ions in it and write the number of polyatomic ions present in the compound as subscript of the parathesis.

For example, Fe₂(SO₄)₃

So here SO₄ is a polyatomic ion and in the compound 3 atoms of SO₄ is required to neutralize the compound and thus paranthesis is used. Thus, parantheses mean present of a subgroup or a group of polyatomic ions in a chemical reaction.

A package contains 1.33 lb of ground round. If it contains 29% fat, how many grams of fat are in the ground round? The book is s
Effectus [21]

Answer:

To obtain the grams of fat that the ground round has, knowing that it weighs 1.33 pounds we must pass this value to grams. Since 1 pound equals 453.59 grams, 1.33 pounds equals 603.27 (453.59 x 1.33).

Now, to obtain 29 percent of 603.27, we must make the following calculation: 603.27 / 100 x 29, which gives a total of 174.94 grams.

In this way, your reasoning is correct and it is probably a mistake in the book.

Which of the following statements are true regarding the dissociation of Al(NO3)3? Select more than one
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

There will be one Al3+ ion.

There will be 3 NO3- ions

Explanation:

Dissociation equation:

Al(NO₃)₃   →  Al³⁺ + 3NO₃¹⁻

When aluminium nitrate dissociate it produces one silver ion (Al³⁺) and three (NO₃¹⁻) ions.

Properties of Al(NO₃)₃:

It is inorganic compound having molecular mass 169.87 g/mol.

It is white odor less compound.

Its density is 4.35 g/mL.

Its melting and boiling points are 120°C and 440°C.

It is soluble in water.

It is sued to treat infections.

It is used in the photographic films.

It s toxic and must be handled with great care.
