Why is potassium sulfate K2SO4, but strontium sulfate SrSO4?

Chemistry

Oksi-84 [34.3K]3 years ago
7 0
The sulphate ion has a charge of 2-, and potassium has a charge of 1+. To fully neutralise the charge on a sulphate ion, you need two potassium ions. 

However, strontium has a charge of 2+. To neutralise the sulphate ion's 2- charge, one strontium ion is enough, so only one bonds to the sulphate.

In any experiment the accuracy of the data and experiment can be improved. What are some things that can be done to improve data
NARA [144]

Answer:

Conduct more trials.

Add less variables.

Choose a different person

Explanation:

More trials gives plenty of data to be examined.

Less variables makes for less confusion, and less things to keep track of.

Different person ensures that the experiment is not being done by one single person who could be messing up the data

Please help me, Thank you!
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The atom shown in the image has 2 core electrons.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles within an atom. Therefore the total number of electrons surrounding the nucleus in the given specie is 7.

 So;

   We have 2 core electrons

   And 5 valence electrons

The core electrons are the inner orbital electrons.

The valence electrons are the outermost electrons.

Based on formal charges, draw the most preferred Lewis structure for the chlorate ion, ClO3−. To add lone pairs, click the butto
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The structure is shown in the diagram.

Explanation:

Lewis structure : In order to draw Lewis structure we will calculate the total number of valence electrons in the molecule.

The valence electrons from Cl : 7

The valence electrons from O = 3 X 6 = 18

Charge negative so more electrons = 2

total electrons = 7 + 18 +2 = 27

Now we will distribute the electrons on each atom and in between atoms as shown in the diagram.

Why do all living things need nitrogen?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Option A. to build new cells.

Explanation:

All living things need nitrogen for the production of new cell because nitrogen is the main structural component of the cell. Protein is made up of amino acid and amino acid made of nitrogen. Without nitrogen atom, enzymes formation is impossible and we know that enzymes are necessary to speed up the chemical process. So nitrogen is very important for living organisms.
