Answer: $CuSO_4$

Explanation: For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here Copper is having an oxidation state of +2 and sulfate is a polyatomic ion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine to form neutral $CuSO_4$ .

The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

$Cu^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}\rightarrow CuSO_4$

Using the Hoffman apparatus for electrolysis, a chemist decomposes 2.3 moles of water into its gaseous elements. How many grams

solong [7]

Answer:

2.318032g

Explanation:

-The electrolysis equation of water is written as below:

$2H_2O_{(l)}->2H_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}$

-The mole ratio of Water to the hydrogen formed is 1:1, therefore 2.3 moles of hydrogen gas is produced.

-Hydrogen's molar mass is 1.00784 grams:

$Mass=moles\times molar \ mass\\\\\=2.3\times 1.00784\\\\=2.318032\ g$

Hence, 2.318032 grams of hydrogen is produced.

Explain what happens to substances during a chemical change

Free_Kalibri [48]

In a chemical change, the atoms in the reactants rearrange themselves and bond together differently to form one or more new products with different characteristics than the reactants. When a new substance is formed, the change is called a chemical change.
