How do you actually know the chemical formulae for the ionic compound

1 answer:

3 0

If you have to write the chemical formula of a simple, binary ionic compound given the name of the compound, you follow a set of three steps. Let's go through them using magnesium chloride as an example. Write the symbols for the cation and the anion: Mg and Cl. Determine the charge on the cation and anion.

Bombardment of cobalt-59 with a neutron produces a manganese-56 atom and another particle. What is this particle?A. an alpha par

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:A

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is balanced by ensuring that the Masses and charges of te reactants and products are exactly balanced on the left and right hand side of the reaction equation. If there are 60 mass units on the LHS and manganese has only 56 mass units then four mass units are left. If there is no charge on a neutron and there is a charge of 27 on the cobalt, then two charges are left. Four mass units and a charge of +2 corresponds to a helium which is actually an alpha particle.

Concentrated nitric acid is 15.6M and has a density of 1.41g/mL. What is the weight percent of concentrated HNO3?

tankabanditka [31]

Molarity= mol/ liters

since the molarity is given, we can assume that we have 1.0 Liters of solution

15.6 M= mol/ 1 liters---> this means that we have 15.6 moles of HNO3

we need to convert these moles to grams using the molar mass of HNO3

molar mass HNO3= 1.01 + 14.0 + (3 X 16.0)= 63.01 g/mol

15.6 mol HNO3 (63.01 g/ mol)= 983 grams HNO3

now we have to determine the grams of solution using the assumption of 1 liters of solution and the density

1 liters= 1000 mL

1000 mL (1.41 g/ ml)= 1410 grams solution

mass percent= mass of solute/ mass of solution x 100

mass percent= 63.01/ 1410 x 100= 4.47 %
