What is the formula (with cation and anion charges) for copper (II) hydroxide? ​
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Cu²⁺(OH)⁻₂

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the symbols for the substances

For copper, see your periodic table. Copper is "Cu".

For hydroxide, see your polyatomic ions chart. Hydroxide is "OH".

Step 2: Find the charges for each element.

Copper (II)'s charge is 2, which is the roman numerals in the brackets.

Hydroxide's charge is -1.

Charges are written as superscripts. You do not need to write "1".

In formulas, write the positively charged atom first.

Cu²⁺(OH)⁻   Put brackets around hydroxide because it has 2 elements.

Step 3: Write the number of atoms.

The number of atoms that an element has is the same as its partner's charge.

The charge of copper is 2, so hydroxide has 2 atoms.

The charge of hydroxide is 1, so copper has 1 atom.

Cu²⁺₁(OH)⁻₂

You do not need to write the "1" for atoms.

Cu²⁺(OH)⁻₂

Consider the balanced equation below. 4nh3 3o2 right arrow. 2n2 6h2o what is the mole ratio of nh3 to n2? 2:4 4:2 4:4 7:2
KIM [24]

The required mole ratio of  NH₃ to N₂ in the given chemical reaction is 2:4.

<h3>What is the stoichiometry?</h3>

Stoichiometry of the reaction gives idea about the number of entities present on the reaction before and after the reaction.

Given chemical reaction is:

4NH₃ + 3O₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O

From the stoichiometry of the reaction it is clear that:

4 moles of NH₃ = produces 2 moles of N₂

Mole ratio NH₃ to N₂ is 2:4.

Hence required mole ratio is 2:4.

Which compound is used to make asphalt?
Masteriza [31]
Asphalt is a biproduct of making gasoline, diesel, kerosene, jet fuel, all from crude oil pumped from the ground. Asphalt is the garbage or waste that comes out the bottom of the process of distilling those products. They heat the thick oily-sooty gunky asphalt and mix it with rock or sand and make roads out of it. So the compound would be the long hydrocarbon chains.

Hello, a little help please guys:( Explain how the series of experiments performed by Crookes, Thomson, Rutherford, and Chadwick
White raven [17]
<span>I did some investigation and summarized the process and made a clearer explanation so those who are confused can imagine the process better :) A scientific theory attempts to explain and describe why things happen. Hypotheses are formed and experiments are done to validate or toss the hypothesis based on the data collected. The Atomic Theory has gone through lots of refining as a scientific theory. For instance, William Crookes conduced an experiment with cathode ray tubes powered by electricity that glowed when powered. Crookes placed an object in between the positive and negative electrode and concluded that the shadow made on the positive side was small particles of matter traveling from the negative side. But more evidence was needed so, later on, J.J. Thomson continued Crookes experiment. He tested what would happen if a negative or positive charged rod was placed along the ray tubes and if it would differ if a different element was used as the negative electrode. Thomson found out that the beam had negatively charged particles and that even if the negative electrode is substituted, the glow is still present, meaning that all elements also had the small negative particles. These particles(now known as electrons) were smaller than the atom and were added to the model of the atom dispersed throughout the neutrally charged atom inside its positive sphere. Now came along Rutherford hoping to support Thomsons model by firing positively charged particles at a thin gold foil thinking it would go straight through the foil, but instead it evenly distributed as they went through the foil, concluding that atoms have a small, dense nucleus(containing positive protons and most of the mass of the atom) that deflected the particles passing through. This was a drastic change in the model now knowing that 1 proton has 2000 times the mass of an electron, but its positive charge cancels the negative electron. After WW1, Chadwick and others were seeing that sometimes the mass of the atom was greater than the mass of the protons and the number of protons was less than the mass of the atom. So it was thought that there were extra electrons and protons adding mass in the nucleus but cancelling their charges, but Rutherford proposed a particle with mass but no charge and called it a neutron; made of paired protons and electrons. But scientists kept studying atoms since there was no evidence of the neutron. Chadwick repeated these experiments though, in hopes to find the neutron and succeeded in 1932, finding it in the nucleus with a close mass to the proton. Thanks to these experiments for refining a scientific theory, we now have a clearer model of the atom.</span>
