Which of the following polyatomic ions will form an ionic compound with two sodium ions? CO32− HCO31− NO21− NO31−
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

CO32−

Explanation:

We have to consider the valencies of the polyatomic ions involved. Recall that it is only a polyatomic ion with a valency of -2 that can form a compound which requires two sodium ions.

When we look closely at the options, we will realize that among all the options, only CO32− has a valency of -2, hence it must be the required answer. In order to be double sure, we put down the ionic reaction equation as follows;

2Na^+(aq) + CO3^2-(aq) ---------> Na2CO3(aq)

To find the Ce4+ content in a solid sample, 4.3718 g of the solid sample were dissolved and treated with excess iodate to precip
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

3.43 %

Explanation:

We need  to calculate first the number of moles of CeO2 produced in the combustion. Given its formula we know how many moles of Ce atom are present. From there calculate the mass this number of moles this represent and then one can calculate the percentage.

0.1848 g CeO2 x 1 mol CeO2/172.114g = 0.00107 mol CeO2

0.00107 mol CeO2 x 1 mol Ce/ 1 mol CeO2 = 0.00107 mol Ce

.00107 mol Ce x 140.116 g Ce/ mol  =  0.150 g Ce

0.150 g Ce/ 4.3718 g sample  x 100 = 3.43 %
