Answer:

nitrite ion is NO2- and nitrate ion is NO3-

Explanation:

The nitrite ion has two oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom while nitrate ion has three oxygen atoms and one nitrogen atom. They are both univalent negative anions that form compounds with metallic cations as shown below;

Na+ + NO3- ⇒ NaNO3 (sodium nitrate)

Na+ + NO2- ⇒ NaNO2 (sodium nitrite)

Ca2+ + NO3- ⇒ Ca(NO3)2 (calcium nitrate)

Ca2+ + NO2- ⇒ Ca(NO2)2 (calcium nitrite)

You can deduce from the above ionic equations that nitrate ion is NO3- while nitrite ion is NO2-.

Match the following chemical reactions:
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Synthesis - 4

reversible- 2

exchange- 1

decomposition-3

Explanation:

In synthesis reaction two or more components combines to form a single product. example 2H2+O2⇒2H2O

In reversible reaction two reactants combine to form two products . The products then reacts and forms back the reactants. example N2 +3H2 ⇒2NH3

In exchange reaction there is an alternation of ions of reactants to form new products. AB+CD ⇒AC + BD

In decomposition reaction, molecules of a compound break down by the action of heat or light or catalyst. example CaCO3 ⇒CaO +CO2

How many atoms of hydrogen are present in 2.92 g of water?
Wittaler [7]
The molecular weight of water is <span>18.01528 g/mol.
So in 2.92 grams there are 2.92/</span>18.01528 = 0.1621 mol of particles.

1 mol contains 6,02214 × 10^<span>23 particles by definition.

So the nr of H2O molecules is </span>0.1621 * 6,02214 × 10^23 = 0,9761 × 10^23.

Every molecule has 2 H atoms, so you have to double that.

2* 0,9761 × 10^23 = 1.952 × 10^23.
