Why is a system for naming compounds necessary?

Chemistry

Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago
3 0
It is necessary to make a logical system for naming compounds because there are so many of them and thinking of arbitrary random names for each one and then later remembering them all would be impossible. Also, they need to be all recognized and standardized for global use so as to have everyone use the same system.

Write the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for a solution of formic acid. Calculate the quotient [HCO2]/[HCO2H] at (a) pH 3.000; (
Elena L [17]

Answer:

a. 0.182

b. 1.009

c. 1.819

Explanation:

Henderson-Hasselbach equation is:

pH = pKa + log [salt / acid]

Let's replace the formula by the given values.

a. 3 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

3 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

-0.74 = log [salt / acid]

10⁻⁰'⁷⁴ = 0.182

b. 3.744 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

3.744 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

0.004 = log [salt / acid]

10⁰'⁰⁰⁴ = 1.009

c. 4 = 3.74 + log [salt / acid]

4 - 3.74 = log [salt / acid]

0.26 = log [salt / acid]

10⁰'²⁶ = 1.819

What is the product when magnesium reacts with nitrogen? Mg(s) + N2(g) → Mg2N3(s) Mg3N(s) Mg3N2(s) MgN3(s)
bixtya [17]
Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
 Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2
