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

Chemistry

const2013 [10]3 years ago
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

Is there a solution for the impacts overfishing?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The world’s oceans are so big we thought for a long time that there was nothing humans could do to hurt them. Now we’re facing an imminent and global collapse of our fisheries, projected to happen as early as 2048, thanks to overfishing, wasteful fishing practices and massive overconsumption. But, there are a few key tried-and-tested solutions to overfishing that have been successfully implemented around the world. The trick is to scale these solutions up to a global scale, encouraging countries that have originally been resistant to helping and get them onboard, and supporting countries that don’t have the means to update their fishing policies themselves.

Hope it will help you

What is the ph of a saturated zinc hydroxide solution
Tanya [424]
 <span>Ksp = 1.2 x 10^-17 = [Zn2+] [OH-]^2 
Zn(OH)2 <----> Zn2+ + 2OH- 
[Zn2+] = x 
[OH-] = 2x 
1.2 x 10^-17 = (x) ( 2x)^2 = 4 x ^3 
x = 1.4 x 10^-6 M 
2x = 2.8 x 10^-6 M 
pOH = - log 2.8 x 10^-6 = 5.5 
pH = 14 - 5.5 =8.5

i think this is it

Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

NH₄CN,  NH₄IO₃,  Fe(CN)₃,  Fe(IO₃)₃

Explanation:

Cations (positively charged ions) can only form ionic bonds with anions (negatively charged ions). However, you can't just simply put one cation and one anion together to form a compound. Each compound needs to been neutral, or have an overall charge of 0. When cations and anions do not have charges that perfectly cancel, you need to modify the amount of each ion in the compound.

1.) NH₄CN

-----> NH₄⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +1 + (-1) = 0

2.) NH₄IO₃

-----> NH₄⁺ and IO₃⁻

-----> +1 + (-1) = 0

3.) Fe(CN)₃

-----> Fe³⁺ and CN⁻

-----> +3 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0

4.) Fe(IO₃)₃

-----> Fe³⁺ and IO₃⁻

-----> +3 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0
