What is the ionic compound of Na^+ and CO3^2-

Chemistry

To find the chemical formula of an ionic compound, the first step is to find the charge of the 2 ions. As given already, the charge of sodium ion is 1+, and carbonate ion has a charge of 2-. We can picture it like that: Sodium ion loses 1 electron and carbonate ion gains 2.

The next step is to find how the 2 ions can lose and gain electrons equally. In this case, since each Na ion only loses 1 electron, it cannot satisfy the need of one carbonate ion, since they need 2, not 1. Therefore, 2 Na ions can cover the need of one carbonate ion. So, the ratio of Na to CO3 ion should be 2:1.

Now just combine the 2 ions, positive one at the front, which makes it NaCO3, make sure you do not add the charge and notice that CO3 is a molecule itself so do not remove the 3. Now because the ratio is 2:1, so the final formula is Na2CO3, no need to add 1 if the ratio is 1.

Your answer should be Na2CO3.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:  increase in entropy

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system. If a system moves from  an ordered arrangement to a disordered arrangement, the entropy is said to decrease and vice versa.

\Delta S is positive when randomness increases and \Delta S is negative when randomness decreases.

When the non polar solutes are placed in water, the hydrogen bonding network of water is disrupted, and there are fewer ways for water to hydrogen-bond with itself. That means the water molecules are more randomly arranged and thus have more entropy and thus \Delta S is positive.
