If the compound potassium chloride is written in words, how do you know to write the formula with one potassium and one chloride

Chemistry

Because there is only one stable ionic compound made up of potassium and chlorine, and that is KCl. So calling is "mono chloride" or similar would be redundant assuming you understand basic chemistry (i.e. knowing oxidation numbers of K is +1 and Cl is -1). When compounds can exist in multiple forms in nature like CO and CO2 you will preferably indicate it through the nomenclature, calling one a monoxide and the other a dioxide.

For the following electron-transfer reaction:
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

Explanation:

Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)

In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:

Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.

The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.

Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.

1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)  

To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:

Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2

2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)  

Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:

2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻

Two well-known complex ions containing ni are [ni(h2o)6]2+, which is green, and [ni(en)3]2+, which is purple. which one of these
Julli [10]
For [Ni(en)³]²⁺ which is purple, the crystal field splitting energy is greater than the complex ion, [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ which is green in color.
When a Lewis base id attached to the metal ion by covalent bond, then the complex ion is formed and when these complex ions are present with other ions of opposite charge or neutral charge, they will make complex compounds.

TIMED PLS HELP AND WILL GIVE BRAINLIST

Answer:

19.4 g of alum, will be its theoretical yield

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2 Al + 2 KOH + 4 H₂SO₄ + 22H₂O → 3H₂ + 2KAl(SO₄)₂•12H₂O

Let's determine the amount of acid.

M are the moles contained in 1 L of solution or it can be mmoles that are contained in 1 mL of solution

M = mmol /mL

M . mL = mmol

We replace: 8.3 mL . 9.9 M = 82.17 mmoles

We convert to moles: 82.17 mmol . 1 mol / 1000mmol = 0.082 moles

Ratio is 4:2

4 moles of sulfuric acid can make 2 moles of alum

By the way, 0.082 moles of acid may produce ( 0.082 . 2) /4 = 0.041085 moles.

We convert moles to mass:

Molar mass of alum is: 473.52 g/mol.

0.041085 moles . 473.52 g/mol = 19.4 g
