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.

A gas has a volume of 590 mL at temperature of -55.0 C. What volume will the gas occupy at 30.0 C show your work
DENIUS [597]
Data:
V_{initial} = 590\:mL
T_{initial} = -55.0^0C
converting to Kelvin
TK = TC + 273
TK = -55.0 + 273 → TK = 218.0 → T_{initial} = 218.0\:K
V_{final} = ? (in\:milliliters)
T_{final} = 30.0^0C
TK = TC + 273
TK = 30.0 + 273 → TK = 303.0 → T_{final} = 303.0\:K

By the first Law of Charles and Gay-Lussac, we have: 
\frac{ V_{i} }{ T_{i} } = \frac{ V_{f} }{ T_{f} }

Solving:
\frac{ V_{i} }{ T_{i} } = \frac{ V_{f} }{ T_{f} }
\frac{ 590 }{ 218.0 } = \frac{ V_{f} }{ 303.0 }
Product of extremes equals product of means:
218.0* V_{f} = 590*303.0
218.0 V_{f} = 178770
V_{f} = \frac{178770}{218.0}
\boxed{\boxed{V_{f} \approx 820.04\:mL}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark

The decomposition of nitryl chloride is described by the following chemical equation: 2NO2C1(g) → 2NO2 (g)-C12 (g) Suppose a two
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Second reaction

NO2 + F -------> NO2F

Rate of reaction:

k1 [NO2] [F2]

Explanation:

NO2 + F2 -----> NO2F + F slow step1

NO2 + F -------> NO2F fast. Step 2

Since the first step is the slowest step, it is the rate determining step of the reaction

Hence:

rate = k1 [NO2] [F2]
