Answer:
Explanation:
It is to keep the mixture homogeneous
Answer:
1. (NH₄)₂S(s) -----> NH₄+(aq) + S²-(aq)
2. Al³+ (aq) + PO₄³+ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s)
Explanation:
The dissociation of ammonium sulphide, (NH₄)₂S when dissolved in water is given in the equation below:
(NH₄)₂S(s) -----> NH₄+(aq) + S²-(aq)
However very little S²- ions are present in solution due to the very basic nature of the S²- ion (Kb = 1 x 105).
The ammonium ion being a better proton donor than water, donates a proton to sulphide ion to form hydrosulphide ion which exists in equilibrium with aqueous ammonia.
S²- (aq) + NH₄+ (aq) ⇌ SH- (aq) + NH₃ (aq)
Aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfide are smelly due to the release of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, hence, their use in making stink bombs.
2. The reaction between aluminium nitrate and sodium phosphatein aqueous solution is a double decomposition reaction whish results in the precipitation of insoluble aluminium phosphate. The equation of the reaction is given below :
Al(NO₃)₃ (aq) + Na₃PO₄ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s) + 3 NaNO₃ (aq)
The net ionic equation is given below:
Al³+ (aq) + PO₄³+ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s)

Explanation:
Ionic Compounds Are Balanced
Table salt is an example of an ionic compound. Sodium and chlorine ions come together to form sodium chloride, or NaCl. The sodium atom in this compound loses an electron to become Na+, while the chlorine atom gains an electron to become Cl-
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The compound ClO2 has 19 valence electrons. ClO2 is a bent molecule with tetrahedral electron pair geometry but has two lone pairs of electrons. This is indicated by the presence of four electron pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom.
The molecule has an odd number of valence electrons, hence, it is generally regarded as a paramagnetic radical. None of the proposed Lewis structures for the molecule is satisfactory because none of them obeys the octet rule.
From the images attached, one can easily see that the electron dots around the oxygen and chlorine atoms does not satisfy the octet rule in all the resonance structures shown.
