Explanation:
Usually, when we write a chemical formula for any compound or other chemical specie, we use subscripts to;
- Indicate the ratio of atoms of each element present in the compound or chemical specie
- Show the number of atoms of each element present in the compound or chemical specie.
Hence, the subscripts written after chemical formulas have more than one function as described above.
In H2SO4 for instance, there are two hydrogen atoms, one sulphur atom and four oxygen atoms as shown in the chemical formula.
Lu(NO₃)₃ would be the formula for a lutetium nitrate compound, given that the charge of lutetium is the same in both compounds.
From Lu2(CO₃)₃, we can determine the charge of the variable charge transition metal Lu has a charge of 3, as CO₃ has a 2⁻ charge (3⁻² = 6⁻¹, 6/2 = 3). Then, we apply this to nitrate, which has a charge of 1⁻. Balance charges, reduce, and you get Lu(NO₃)₃.
<h3><u>
Nitrates:</u></h3>
With the chemical formula NO⁻₃, nitrate is a polyatomic ion. This ion is found in salts, which are known as nitrates. Fertilizers and explosives frequently contain nitrates as a component. Nearly all inorganic nitrates are water soluble. Bismuth oxynitrate is an illustration of an insoluble nitrate.
Natural compounds called nitrates (or nitrites) can be found in the soil, air, and water. In order to prevent the growth of germs and to improve the flavor and color of food, nitrates are also employed as a food additive.
