Example #1 write the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide
Step 1
-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table
CaO
Step 2
Find the charges for Calcium and Oxygen
which are Ca 2+ and O 2-
Step 3
Balance out the charges
They are already balanced out
Here´s the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide
CaO
Example 2 write the chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide
Step 1
-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table
A
l
O
Step 2
Find the charges for Aluminum and Oxygen
Which are Al 3+ and O 2-
Step 3
Balance out the charges
You need 2 Aluminum and 3 Oxygen to balance the charges
Al 3+ O 2-
Al 3+ O 2-
= 6 + O 2-
= 6-
Step 4
If you need more then one element to balance out the charges you identify that by using subscripts
Heres your chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide

Combustion of hexane can be illustrated by the following reaction:
2C6H14 + 19O2 ...........> 12CO2 + 14H2O
From the periodic table:
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of carbon = 12 grams
Therefore:
molar mass of hexane = 6(12)+14(1) = 86 grams
mass of water = 2(1)+16 = 18 grams
From the balanced equation above:
2(86) = 172 grams of hexane produce 252 grams of water. To know the amount of water produced from 1.33 grams of hexane, all you have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
amount of water = (1.33x252) / 172 = 1.9486 grams
HCl is an acid
C5H5N is a base
Cl- is a base
HC5H5N+ is an acid
Answer:
m = 575 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Volume of solution = 0.500 L (0.500×1000 = 500 mL)
Density of glucose solution = 1.15 g/mL
Mass of glucose solution = ?
Solution:
Formula:
d = m/v
d = density
m = mass
v = velocity
Now we will put the values in formula.
1.15 g/mL = m/500 mL
m = 1.15 g/mL × 500 mL
m = 575 g
Answer:
