Predict the formulas for calcium chloride and potassium phosphate

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sauron [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

CaCl2

And

potasium phosphate is a general name for salt of potassium and phosphate ions . The compounds can exist as

K3PO4 (Tripotassium phosphate)

K2HPO4 (di potassium phosphate)

KH2PO4 (mono potassium phosphate)

Explanation:

Calcium chloride salt is an ionic compound. so it contains both cations and anions. That means it has a positively charged ion and a negatively charged ion. In an ionic compound their is a transfer of electron. The valence electron or the charge ion present in an atom can be use to predict the chemical formula of this compound . Base on the compound the positive end is calcium while the negative end is chlorine .

Ca2+  and Cl-

cross multiply the charges

CaCl2

The charge of phosphate ions are (PO4)3−, (HPO4)2− and (H2PO4)−. And base on the valence electron potassium has a stable charge of +1 (K+). The phosphate ion produces the negative charge when it reacts with potassium.

If potassium goes into reaction with any of the phosphate ion it will be as follows.

K+  and  (PO4)3−

cross multiply the charge as usual

K3PO4(tripotassium phosphate)

K+ and (HPO4)2−

cross multiply the charge as usual

K2HPO4(di potassium phosphate)

K+ and (H2PO4)−

cross multiply the charge as usual

KH2PO4 (mono potassium phosphate)

What change in volume results if 60 mL of a gas is cooled from 33 C to 5 C?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Change in volume on changing temperature from 33^{\circ}C to 5^{\circ}C is 5.49 mL

Explanation:

Initial volume of gas = V = 60 mL

Assuming final volume of gas to be V' mL

Initial temperature = T = 33^{\circ}C = 306 K

Final temperature = T' = 5^{\circ}C = 278 K

The relationship between volume and temperature of gas at constant pressure is shown below

\displaystyle \frac{V}{V'}=\displaystyle  \frac{T}{T'} \\\displaystyle \frac{60\textrm{ mL}}{V'} = \displaystyle \frac{306\textrm{ K}}{T} \\V' = 54.51 \textrm{ mL} \\\textrm{Change in volume} = \left ( V-V' \right ) \\\textrm{Change in volume} = \left ( 60-54.51 \right )\textrm{ mL} \\\textrm{Change in volume} = 5.49 \textrm{ mL}

Change in volume on changing temperature = 5.49 mL
