How do you write chemical formulas

Chemistry
1 answer:
sasho [114]3 years ago
4 0

There are things called "Reactants" and "Products" All chemical equations look something like "A + B →C (+ D...)," in which each letter variable is an element or a molecule (a collection of atoms held together by chemical bonds). The arrow represents the reaction or change taking place. Some equations may have a double-headed arrow (↔), which indicates that the reaction can proceed either forward or backward. When a compound has been written out, you must identify the elements and know their chemical symbols. The first element written is “first name” of the compound. Use the periodic table to find the chemical symbol for the element. So here is an example: Dinitrogen hexafluoride. The first element is nitrogen and the chemical symbol for nitrogen is N. To know the numbers of atoms that are present for each element you can just look at the prefix from the element For example: Dinitrogen has a the prefix “di-“ which means 2; therefore, there are 2 atoms of nitrogen present.

Write dinitrogen as N2.

Now for the second element or "last name" of the compound whatever will follow the first element so like; Dinitrogen hexafluoride. The second element is fluorine. Simply replace the “ide” ending with the actual element name. The chemical symbol for fluorine is F.


But the more you practice with, the easier it will be to decipher chemical formulas in the future and learn the language of chemistry.

Sulfur dioxide: SO2

Carbon tetrabromide: CBr4

Diphosphorus pentoxide: P2O5   ← That is one of the examples I'll give you.

have a gooooood daaaaayy

if 30.0L of oxygen are cooled from 200 degrees celsius to 1 degree celsius at constant pressure, what is the new volume of oxyge
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 18.65L

Explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of oxygen (V1) = 30.0L

Original temperature of oxygen (T1) = 200°C

[Convert temperature in Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.

So, (200°C + 273 = 473K)]

New volume of oxygen V2 = ?

New temperature of oxygen T2 = 1°C

(1°C + 273 = 274K)

Since volume and temperature are given while pressure is held constant, apply the formula for Charle's law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

30.0L/473K = V2/294K

To get the value of V2, cross multiply

30.0L x 294K = 473K x V2

8820L•K = 473K•V2

Divide both sides by 473K

8820L•K / 473K = 473K•V2/473K

18.65L = V2

Thus, the new volume of oxygen is 18.65 liters.

The mass percent of solute in a solution containing 3.73 g KBr dissolved in 131 g of H2O is:
Elina [12.6K]

\huge \underbrace \mathfrak \red{Answer}

28%

Explanation:

mass of solute(KBr) = 3.73g

mass of solvent(H2O) = 131g

mass of solution = mass of solute + mass of solvent

= 3.73 + 131

= 134.73g

\sf \large {mass \: percentage =  \frac{mass \: of \: solute}{mass \: of \: solvent}  \times 100} \\  \\  \sf  mass \: percentage =  \frac{3.73}{134.73}  \times 100 \\  \\  \sf mass \: percentage =  0.028 \times 100 \\  \\  \sf mass \: percentage = 28\%
