Why are prefixes not needed in naming ionic compounds?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kari74 [83]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

when naming ionic compounds — those are only used in naming covalent molecular compounds. Do NOT use prefixes to indicate how many of each element is present; this information is implied in the name of the compound. since iron can form more than one charge. Ionic Compounds Containing a Metal and a Polyatomic Ion.

What is the Net Ionic equation for this chemical reaction: FeBr2+Na2S=FeS+2NaBr​
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer: Fe<em>(aq)</em>+S<em>(aq)</em>=FeS<em>(s)</em>

Explanation: The Sodium and Bromine are spectator ions because they don't react with anything, you can see this by writing the ionic equation like so:

1.) Molecular formula (given): FeBr2 (aq)+Na2S (aq)= FeS(s)+2NaBr(aq)

Each dissolved FeBr2 breaks up into one Fe with a charge of 2+ and two Br with a negative charge. This gives you:

Fe(aq)+ 2Br(aq)+Na2S(aq)=FeS(s)+2NaBr

2.) Now repeat what was shown with the other compounds in the given molecular formula, and pay attention to the states that each ion is in (solid, liquid, aqueous, gas) because this will give you the ionic equation, which from there you can get rid of any ions that don't change amount or state.

3.) Ionic formula: Fe(aq)+ <u>2Br(aq)</u>+<u>2 Na(aq)</u>+S (aq)=FeS(s)+<u>2 Na(aq)+2Br(aq)</u>

4.)When you've derived a total ionic equation (above), you'll  find that some ions appear on both sides of the equation in equal numbers. For example, in this case two Na cations and two Br anions appear on both sides of the total ionic equation. What does this mean? It means these ions don't participate in the chemical reaction. They're present before and after the reaction. Nothing happens to them. So those are removed and you're left with the net ionic: Fe(aq)+S(aq)=FeS(s)

Hope this helps :)
