An ionic compound is a compound between a metal and a non metal where the metal (normally from group 1 or 2) transferrs an electron to the non metal ( most commonly from group 6 or 7) . this is so that both atoms have a full outer shell of electrons. the metal gains a positive charge and the non metal a negative charge. they are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction. an example would be sodium chloride (salt) sodium is in group 1 and chlorine in group 7 so sodium transfers one electron :)

Question

<em>What is an ionic compound? Write an example.</em>

Answer:

<em>Ionic compounds are compounds consisting of ions. Two-element compounds are usually ionic when one element is a metal and the other is a non-metal. Examples include: sodium chloride: NaCl, with Na+ and Cl- ions.</em>

How many grams of oxygen are required to react with 2.7 g of dihydrogen sulfide
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Mass = 3.84 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen sulfide = 2.7 g

Mass of oxygen required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂S + 3O₂ →  2H₂O + 2SO₂

Number of moles of hydrogen sulfide:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.7 g / 34 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.08 mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen sulfide with oxygen.

                               H₂S           :             O₂

                                  2             :             3

                                  0.08       :            3/2 ×0.08 = 0.12 mol

Mass of oxygen;

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.12 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 3.84 g
