Answer:

One of each

Explanation:

Be is in Group 2, so it loses its two valence electrons in a reaction to form Be²⁺ ions.

Carbonate ion has the formula CO₃²⁻.

We can use the criss-cross method to work out the formula of beryllium carbonate.

The steps are

Write the symbols of the anion and cation.

Criss-cross the numbers of the charges to become the subscripts of the other ion.

Write the formula with the new subscripts.

Divide the subscripts by their highest common factor.

Omit all subscripts that are 1.

When you use this method with Be²⁺ and CO₃²⁻, you might be tempted to write the formula for the beryllium carbonate as Be₂(CO₃)₂

However, you can divide the subscripts by their largest common factor (2).

This gives you the formula Be₁(CO₃)₁.

We omit subscripts that are 1, so the correct formula is

BeCO₃

There is one Be²⁺ ion and one CO₃²⁻ ion in a formula unit of beryllium carbonate.

10) an object has mass of 50g 500mg and 0.1g. express the total mass of the object in grams

Pavel [41]

500 mg in g :

1 g ----------- 1000 mg
? -------------- 500 mg

500 x 1 / 1000 => 0.5 g

total mass:

50 g + 0.5 g + 0.1 g => 50.6 g

Write one paragraph to explain what circuler motion is?

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

When a body moves in a circle with constant speed , it is said to be in uniform circular motion .

Explanation:

When an object moves in a circular path , its direction changes at each point .
This change in direction result in change of velocity (velocity is vector quantity which changes if direction of the object change) .However speed do not change (it is scalar quantity , not affected by Direction)

The Change in velocity produce acceleration ( a = v - u)

Hence The object always produce acceleration in uniform circular motion .So, Some force (centripetal force) is needed to keep the object in circular motion.

Given the following chemical equation, if 50.1 grams of silicon dioxide is heated with excess carbon and 32.3 grams of silicon c

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

97%.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

SiO2 (s) + 3C (s) —> SiC(s) + 2CO(g)

Next, we shall determine the mass of SO2 that reacted and the mass of SiC produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of SiO2 = 28 + (16x2) = 60 g/mol

Mass of SO2 from the balanced equation = 1 x 60 = 60 g

Molar mass of SiC = 28 + 12 = 40 g/mol

Mass of SiC from the balanced equation = 1 x 40 = 40 g.

From the balanced equation above,

60 g of SiO2 reacted to produce 40 g of SiC.

Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of SiC. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

60 g of SiO2 reacted to produce 40 g of SiC.

Therefore, 50.1 g of SiO2 will react to produce = (50.1 x 40)/60 = 33.4 g of SiC.

Therefore, the theoretical yield of SiC is 33.4 g

Finally, we shall determine the percentage yield of SiC as follow:

Actual yield of SiC = 32.3 g

Theoretical yield of SiC = 33.4 g

Percentage yield =?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield x 100

Percentage yield = 32.3/33.4 x 100

Percentage yield = 96.7 ≈ 97%

Therefore, the percentage yield of the reaction is 97%.
