<u>Answer:</u> The chemical formula for potassium sulfite is $K_2SO_3$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given a chemical compound having name potassium sulfite. This compound is formed by the combination of potassium ions and sulfite ions.

Potassium is the 19th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^1$ .

This element will loose 1 electron to form $K^{+}$ ion

Sulfite ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $SO_3^{2-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Hence, the chemical formula for potassium sulfite is $K_2SO_3$

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 11 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$density = \frac{mass}{volume} \\$

From the question

mass = 3025 g

volume = 275 mL

We have

$density = \frac{3025}{275} \\$

We have the final answer as

What two types of elements are ionic compounds made of?

mash [69]

Answer:

ionic compounds are made from metal and non mental elements

Explanation:

in this case it is know as an ionic compound because it contains a charge. For example, NaCl is simply a compound as it contains no charges (the charges cancel out as Cl is -1 and Na is +1)

but OH- is an ionic compound as it has a charge if -1 (O has a -2 charge and H has a +1 charge, so -2+1=-1 so OH has -1 charge)

Please help don’t understand this I attached the question

Rasek [7]

Answer:

58.32

Explanation:

The mass number is one mole and for Mg it is 24.306 for O it is 15.999 and for H it is 1.008. because O and H have 2, you multiply them by 2 and add all the numbers and it equals 58.32

How many moles of CF4 can be produced when 8.95 mol C reacts with 7.88 mol F2?

Molodets [167]

The remaining moles of C is 5.01 moles while the remaining moles of F₂ is 0.

<h3>Reaction between Carbon and Fluorine </h3>

The reaction between carbon and Fluorine is given as;

C + 2F₂ -------> CF₄

1 : 2 1

from the reaction above,

2 moles of F₂ requires 1 mole of C

7.88 mole of F₂ will require: 7.88/2 = 3.94 moles of C and 3.94 moles of CF₄.

The remaining moles of C = 8.95 - 3.94 = 5.01 moles while the remaining moles of F₂ is 0.

If kc = 7.04 × 10-2 for the reaction: 2 hbr(g) ⇌h2(g) + br2(g), what is the value of kc for the reaction: 1/2 h2(g) + 1/2 br2 ⇌h

Kay [80]

At the first reaction when 2HBr(g) ⇄ H2(g) + Br2(g)
So Kc = [H2] [Br2] / [HBr]^2
7.04X10^-2 = [H2][Br] / [HBr]^2

at the second reaction when 1/2 H2(g) + 1/2 Br2 (g) ⇄ HBr
Its Kc value will = [HBr] / [H2]^1/2*[Br2]^1/2
we will make the first formula of Kc upside down:
1/7.04X10^-2 = [HBr]^2/[H2][Br2]
and by taking the square root:
∴ √(1/7.04X10^-2)= [HBr] / [H2]^1/2*[Br]^1/2
∴ Kc for the second reaction = √(1/7.04X10^-2) = 3.769
