The name of the compound {\text{C}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}{\left( {{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right)_3} is \boxed{{\text{chromium }}\left( {{\text{III}}} \right){\text{ carbonate}}}.

Further explanation:

An ionic compound is formed when there occurs complete transfer of electrons between the bonded atoms. Atoms that lose electrons form cations whereas that gain electrons forms anions. Cations are positively charged ions and anions are negatively charged ions.ns.

An ionic compound is named by naming its cation first and then by its anion.

Naming of cations:

1. The main group cations are named the same as the name of their corresponding elements. For example, {\text{N}}{{\text{a}}^ + } is named sodium cation.

2. The transition metals cations are named similar to the main group elements. The only difference is that the charge of transition metal cations is written in parenthesis after the name of the cation. For example, {\text{C}}{{\text{u}}^{2 + }} is named copper (II) cation.

3. The polyatomic cation is named by adding suffix “ium”.

Naming of anions:

1. The suffix “ide” is added when a monoatomic anion is formed by an element. For example, {{\text{H}}^ - } is named as a hydride.

2. When two oxyanions are formed by a single element, the oxyanion with fewer oxygen atoms is written with suffix “ite” and that with more oxygen is named with suffix “ate”. For example, {\text{NO}}_2^ - is named nitrite while {\text{NO}}_3^ - is named nitrate.

3. If a series of oxyanions are formed by an element, prefix “hypo” is used when fewer oxygen atoms are present and prefix “per” is used if more oxygen atoms are present. For example, {\text{Cl}}{{\text{O}}^ - } is named hypochlorite while {\text{ClO}}_4^ - is named as perchlorate.

The given compound is {\text{C}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}{\left( {{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right)_{\text{3}}}. Since Cr is a transition metal so its oxidation state has to be written parantheses.

The expression to calculate the oxidation state in {\text{C}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}{\left( {{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right)_{\text{3}}} is:

\left[ {2\left( {{\text{oxidation state of Cr}}} \right) + 3\left( {{\text{oxidation state of C}}} \right) + 9\left( {{\text{oxidation state of O}}} \right)} \right] = 0     … (1)

Rearrange equation (1) for the oxidation state of Cr.

{\text{Oxidation state of Cr}} = \dfrac{{\left[ { - 3\left( {{\text{oxidation state of C}}} \right) - 9\left( {{\text{oxidation state of O}}} \right)} \right]}}{2}        …… (2)  

Substitute +4 for the oxidation {\text{state}} of C and -2 for the oxidation state of O in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Oxidation state of Cr}} &= \frac{{\left[ { - 3\left( { + {\text{4}}} \right) - 9\left({ - {\text{2}}} \right)} \right]}}{2}\\&= \frac{{ - 12 + 18}}{2}\\&=+ 3\\\end{aligned}  

Therefore the oxidation state of Cr in {\text{C}}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}{\left( {{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}} \right)_{\text{3}}} is +3.

The formula of any compound is formed by crisscross rule. So the charge on the anion will be -2 and the corresponding anion is {\text{CO}}_3^{2 - } whose name is carbonate. Therefore the name of the given compound is chromium (III) carbonate.

Calculate the pKa of lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH) given the following information. 3.005 grams of potassium lactate are added to
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

\displaystyle \text{p} K_a \approx 3.856

Explanation:

Because 3.005 grams of potassium lactate is added to 100. mL of solution, its concentration is:


\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \left[ \text{KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}\right]  & = \frac{3.005\text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{100.\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}}{128.17 \text{ g KC$_3$H_$_5$O$_3$}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} \\ \\ &= 0.234\text{ M}\end{aligned}

By solubility rules, potassium is completely soluble, so the compound will dissociate completely into potassium and lactate ions. Therefore, [KC₃H₅O₃] = [C₃H₅O₃⁺]. Note that lactate is the conjugate base of lactic acid.

Recall the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}\text{pH} = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{\left[\text{Base}\right]}{\left[\text{Acid}\right]} \end{aligned}

[Base] = 0.234 M and [Acid] = 0.500 M. We are given that the resulting pH is 3.526. Substitute and solve for p<em>Kₐ</em>:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} (3.526) & = \text{p}K_a + \log \frac{(0.234)}{(0.500)} \\ \\ 3.526 & = \text{p}K_a + (-0.330) \\ \\ \text{p}K_a & = 3.856\end{aligned}

In conclusion, the p<em>Kₐ </em>value of lactic acid is about 3.856.

An ion with six protons, seven neutrons, and a charge of 2+ has an atomic number of ________.
Varvara68 [4.7K]
There are some standard numbers that help us describe the structure of an atom and help us categorize them. Those are the atomic number, the mass number and the numbers of electrons in an atom (or ion). Atoms are electrically neutral, hence they have the same number of protons as electrons. If an atom has a charge and has thus become an ion, it is because electrons joined it or left. For example in this case, since the ion has +2 charge, 2 electrons left it and thus the ion has 4 electrons (2 electrons less than its protons). The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons of an atom (that are in the nucleus). In this case, this yields a mass number of 13 for this ion. The atomic number of an atom (or ion) is the total number of protons in the nucleus. Protons do not leave the nucleus except for radioactive reactions and thus the atomic number of an atom (or ion) does not change in chemical reactions. In this case, the ion has an atomic number of 6.
