Explain why ionic compounds are electrically neutral

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alex3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the positive ions and the negative ions in the compound cancel each other.

Explanation:

Ion- It is an atom or a molecule that has an equal number of protons (subatomic particles with positive electric charge) and electrons (subatomic particles with negative electric charge).

Positive ion- This is also called a "cation." It consists of more protons than electrons.

Negative ion- This is also called an "anion." It consists of more electrons than protons.

Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because they consist of anions and cations. This neutralizes the compounds. A common example of ionic compound is the NaCl (Sodium Chloride). The Na (Sodium) atom loses an electron in order to become Na+ while the Cl (Chlorine) atom gains an electron in order to become Cl-. This interaction balances them together.

6 Li + Zn3(PO4)2 ------- &gt; 2 Li3PO4 + 3 Zn
bogdanovich [222]

Moles of Lithium phosphate : 0.495

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

6 Li + Zn₃(PO₄)₂ ------- > 2 Li₃PO₄ + 3 Zn

Required

Moles of Lithium phosphate

Solution

moles of Zinc(Ar=65,38 g/mol) :

= mass : Ar

= 48.6 : 65.38

= 0.743

From equation, mol ratio of Zn :  Li₃PO₄ = 3 : 2, so mol  Li₃PO₄ :

= 2/3 x mol Zn

= 2/3 x 0.743

= 0.495

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

6,04x10⁻³M

Explanation:

For the reaction:

Fe(s) + CuSO₄(aq) → Cu(s) + FeSO₄(aq)

The precipitate of Cu(s) weights 96,0 mg. In moles:

Moles of Cu(s):

0,096g×(1mol/63,546g) = 1,51x10⁻³ moles of Cu(s). If you see the balanced equation 1 mole of CuSO₄ produce 1 mole of Cu(s). That means moles of CuSO₄ are the same of Cu(s), <em>1,51x10⁻³ moles of CuSO₄</em>

As volume of the solution is 250 mL, 0,250L, the molar concentration of the original solution is:

1,51x10⁻³ moles of CuSO₄ / 0,250L = <em>6,04x10⁻³M</em>

I hope it helps!
