Answer:
Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⟶ BaSO₄(s)
Explanation:
There are three steps you must follow. You must write the:
- Molecular equation
- Ionic equation
- Net ionic equation
A. Molecular equation
BaCl₂(aq) + Na₂SO₄(aq) ⟶ BaSO₄(s) + 2NaCl(aq)
B. Ionic equation
You write all the soluble substances as ions.
Ba²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⟶ BaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)
C. Net ionic equation
To get the net ionic equation, you cancel the ions that appear on each side of the ionic equation.
Ba²⁺(aq) + <u>2Cl⁻(aq) </u>+ <u>2Na⁺(aq</u>) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⟶ BaSO₄(s) + <u>2Na⁺(aq)</u> + <u>2Cl⁻(aq)
</u>
The net ionic equation is
Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) ⟶ BaSO₄(s)
Answer:
ability to combine with oxygen
Oxidation number is charge of element in compound. Can be neutral, positive or negative.
Oxygen in dichromate has oxidation number -2, becauce there are seven oxygens, net oxidation number of oxygen is -14.
2·x(oxidation number of Cr) + 7· (-2) = -2 2x= +12
x= +6, oxidation number of one chromium is +6.
It is not correct to say " a molecule of salt " because salt is a compound.
Explanation:
- As we know a molecular bond is present in each molecule.
- Salt (NaCl) is considered as a compound because it is made up of two types of elements that are sodium as well as chlorine.
- On the other hand it is not considered as a molecule as it is not holding an ionic bond.
- As a result we can name it as an ionic compound. Hence it is not considered as a molecule of salt.
