Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-

hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written between $Zn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)$

First Formula would be $ZnF_{2}$

Second empirical formula is between $Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)$

Second Formula would be $Zn_{2}O_{2}$

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so $Zn_{2}O_{2}$ would be written as $ZnO$

Third empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)$

Third Formula would be : $NiF_{4}$

Forth empirical formula is between $Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)$

Forth Formula would be : $Ni_{2}O_{4}$ or $NiO_{2}$

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as $NiO_{2}$ .

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : $ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}$

True or false: the most easily ionizable elements are the most electronegative.

ehidna [41]

<span>False, This is because when you can easily ionize and atom or the chances of it being ionizable are quite high, it means that that particular atom have very low ionization potential that is the reason why it was easily ionizable An atom with a high ionization power and a firmly negative electron fondness will both pull in electrons from different particles and oppose having its electrons taken away; it will be an exceedingly electronegative molecule.</span>

How many moles of CH4 are in 148.6 g? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

9.29 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = ?

Mass = 148.6 g

Solution:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of CH₄ = 16 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

Number of moles = 148.6 g/ 16 g/mol

Number of moles = 9.29 mol

Thus 148.6 g have 9.29 moles.

You inoculate a bacterium into three tubes of nutrient broth medium containing added salt: 0.5% NaCl, 5% NaCl, and 15% NaCl. Aft

g100num [7]

Answer:

Halophile.

Explanation:

Halophile microorganisms are microorganisms that require very large amounts of NaCl. If the concentration of NaCl is very little, there will be no growth. Ih this case, given that it grows between 5% and 15%, it can be considered a moderate halophile.

How many moles of agcl are contained in 244 ml of 0.135 magcl solution? the density of the solution is 1.22 g/ml?

spin [16.1K]

Since we are only asked for the number of moles, we don't need the information of density. The concentration is expressed in terms of 0.135 M AgCl or 0.135 moles of AgCl per liter solution. The solution is as follows:

Moles AgCl = Molarity * Volume
Moles AgCl = 0.135 mol/L * 244 mL * 1 L/1000 mL
<em>Moles AgCl = 0.03294 mol </em>
