Why is copper (i) sulfate Cu2So4^-2? not copper (ii)?

Chemistry

5 0
Copper (I) oxidation state is 1 Cu2So4
copper (II) oxidation state is +2 CuSo4
copper (i) also give up one electron so you need two of them to react with the sulfate ion (which has charge of -2)
and also all metallic ions have an multiple oxidation levels corresponding to the number of electrons they can exchange or loose
Hope this helps

<h2>Answer</h2>

This is because Copper (I) has +1 charge and Copper (II) has +2 charge.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

The chemical formula of an ionic compound consists of cation first, followed by anion. Both cations and anions are incolved to make compound to be nutral or charge entity for example Cu2SO4 is cuprous compound contain Cu (I) where two Cu give only one electron as  

Cu is cation and SO4 is anion

SO4 has a valency of -2

So, Cu2 has a valency of +2

But in Cu (II), The single copper gives two electron to SO4 and form CuSO4 compound named as copper sulphate.

These metalls are called transition metals who can change their oxidation states

Which of the following is the correct name for the compound mgbr2? magnesium bromate magnesium bromide magnesium dibromide magne
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Correct answer is magnesium bromide. This is an ionic compound with metal forming a positive ion - K+ and halogen forming a negative ion - Br-. When group 7 element form ions they have a suffix -ide. Bromine is the element and when it forms a negative ion bromine is called bromide with the suffix.
Magnesium gives 2 electrons and bromine can take only 1 electron, therefore 2 bromine atoms are needed. Therefore magnesium forms ionic bonds with 2 bromine atoms.
The compound is called magnesium bromide

___AsCl3+____H2S--&gt;___As2S3+___HCI​
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6 HCl

Explanation:

When we balance a chemical equation, what we are trying to do is to achieve the same number of atoms for each element on both sides of the arrow. On the right of the arrow is where we can find the products, while the reactants are found on the left of the arrow.

We usually balance O and H atoms last.

AsCl₃ + H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 1

Cl --- 3

H --- 2

S --- 1

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

2 AsCl₃ + H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 2

S --- 1

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

The number of As atoms is now balanced.

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

The number of S atoms is now equal on both sides.

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6 HCl

<u>reactants</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

<u>products</u>

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

The equation is now balanced.
