If a compound contains a poly atomic ion then what type of compound is it A. Convalent Compound B. Ionic Compound
den301095 [7]

Answer:

B. Ionic Compound

Explanation:

An ionic compound is that compound which contains a positively charged ion called CATION and a negatively charged ion called ANION. The cation loses or transfers electrons to the anion, hence, making the former (cation) positive and the latter (anion) negative.

A polyatomic ion is an ion that contains more than one type of atom e.g OH-, NO3²-, CO3²- etc. A polyatomic ion usually has an overall charge formed from the charges of the individual atoms that makes it up. For example, in OH-, the overall charge is -1.

Since a polyatomic ion can have an overall positive or negative charge, it must enter a reaction with another ion that complements it i.e. a negative polyatomic ion will react with a positive ion to neutralize its charge. Hence, this forms an IONIC COMPOUND. This is why most compounds with polyatomic ions are IONIC COMPOUNDS.

For example, CaCO3 is an ionic compound formed when Ca²+ (cation) reacts with the polyatomic anion: CO3²-

Can someone please help me on the second one? I have no idea what to do.
Aleks [24]

The reaction will produce 12.1 g Ag₂S.

<em>Balanced equation</em> = 2Ag + S ⟶ Ag₂S

<em>Mass of Ag₂S</em> = 10.5 g Ag × (1 mol Ag/107.87 g Ag) × (1 mol Ag₂S/2 mol Ag)

× (247.80 g Ag₂S/1 mol Ag₂S) = 12.1 g Ag₂S

A container is filled with oxygen gas, and the pressure of
Amanda [17]

Answer:

77,007 Pa

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the equivalence statement for atmospheres and pascals is:

1 atm = 101,325 Pa

We can set up the following conversion factor to obtain the pressure in pascals:

0.760atm*\frac{101,325Pa}{1atm}\\\\=77,007Pa

Best regards!
