Answer:

$CaS$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since calcium's oxidation state when forming ionic bonds is +2 and sulfur's oxidation state when bonding those bonds is -2, for the required formula we write:

$Ca^{2+}S^{2-}$

Now, since they have the same charge number, we infer the ionic compound formed when they bond is calcium sulfide:

$CaS$

Best regards!

sdas [7]

Answer:

Absorbance of sample solution = 1.21

Absorbance of reagent blank = 0.205

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we need to keep in mind the Lambert-Beer law, which states:

A = ε*b*C

Where ε is the molar absorption coefficient, b is the length of the cuvette, and C is the concentration.

By looking at the equation above we can see that if ε and C are constant; and b is 5 times higher (5.00 cm vs 1.00 cm) then the absorbance will be 5 times higher as well:

Absorbance of sample solution = 0.242 * 5 = 1.21

Absorbance of reagent blank = 0.041 * 5 = 0.205

Which of these is a pair of coordination isomers (aka ionization isomers)?

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: $[Ni(NH_3)_3Br]Cl$ and $[Ni(NH_3)_3Cl]Br$ are ionization isomers.

$[Pt(Cl)_2(SCN)_4]^{4-}$ and $[Pt(Cl)_2(NCS)_4]^{4-}$ are linkage isomers.

Explanation:

Ionization isomerism occur when a ligand that is bound to the metal center exchanges places with an anion or neutral molecule that was originally outside the coordination complex

Thus $[Ni(NH_3)_3Br]Cl$ and $[Ni(NH_3)_3Cl]Br$ are ionization isomers.

Linkage isomerism is the existence of coordination compounds that have the same composition differing with the connectivity of the metal to a ligand.

Thus $[Pt(Cl)_2(SCN)_4]^{4-}$ and $[Pt(Cl)_2(NCS)_4]^{4-}$ are linkage isomers.
