Why is potassium sulfate K2SO4, but strontium sulfate SrSO4?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The sulphate ion has a charge of 2-, and potassium has a charge of 1+. To fully neutralise the charge on a sulphate ion, you need two potassium ions. 

However, strontium has a charge of 2+. To neutralise the sulphate ion's 2- charge, one strontium ion is enough, so only one bonds to the sulphate.

The addition of sodium chloride to pure water, causes the conductivity to _________.
andrey2020 [161]
The addition of sodium chloride to pure water causes the conductivity to INCREASE. The more NaCl present in the water, the higher the conductivity is because NaCl is an electrolyte. Once dissolved in water, it becomes Na and Cl which are corpuscles that conduct electricity.

Write the ions present in a solution of na3po4. express your answers as chemical formulas separated by a comma. offset subscript
spin [16.1K]
Sodium/natrium is a metal from first column group so it should have one 1+ charge. Phosphate ion has 3- charge. That is why there 3 natrium ion for 1 phosphate ion when this molecule is dissolved in water. The ion formula would be:

(Na)_{3}(PO_{4}) ==> 3 Na^{1+}   +  PO_{4} ^{3-}

Compare to the sample of helium at STP, the same sample of helium at a higher temperature and a lower pressure.
Molodets [167]

Here we have to compare the state of helium gas at STP and high temperature and low pressure.

At STP (standard condition of temperature and pressure) i.e. 273K temperature and 1 bar pressure. At STP helium gas will behave as a real gas.

At higher temperature and low pressure Helium will behave as an ideal gas.

The ideal gas conditions are developed on taking into account two factors: (i) the gas molecules are point of mass and having no volume. (ii) there is no existence of force of attraction between the molecules.

The deviation from ideal gas to the real gas depends upon the van der waals' interaction between the gas molecules. Now in low pressure and high temperature, we can ignore the volume and also the inter-molecular force of attraction. Thus the gas sample can behaved as ideal gas.

But at elevated pressure and low temperature i.e. STP the assumptions are not valid and it will behave as real gas.
