Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Aspirin is a very important pain killer. The production of aspirin involves a reaction between salicylic acid and excess acetic anhydride.

Usually, a small amount of a mineral acid is added as a catalyst.

Aspirin is actually acetyl salicylic acid. When this substance is formed, the substance is not really soluble in water. Addition of water leads to the precipitation of the aspirin product.

Hence, the addition of water is mostly to precipitate the pure aspirin product after reaction.

According to the Bohr model of an atom, what happens when an electron moves from the second energy level to the third energy lev
kati45 [8]
<span>Energy is absorbed and then released to form an emission line.

When electrons absorb energy they increase there energy level. This is only temporary and the excited electron then relaxes back down to its original energy level releasing energy.

The energy is released in form of EM radiation of a specific frequency depending on the element and how many energy levels the electron relaxes. 
This forms an emission line.</span><span />

Enter the formula for the compound cobalt(II) phosphate. Express your answer as a chemical formula.
alexira [117]

Answer:

Co_3(PO_4)_2

Explanation:

Naming of the ionic compounds:-

  • The name of the cation is written first and the the name of the anion is written after the name of the cation separated by single space.
  • The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.
  • In case of transition metals, the oxidation state are written in roman numerals in bracket in front of positive ions.

Hence, given ionic compound:-

Cobalt(II) phosphate

So, Cobalt will have a positive charge of +2

Phosphate is PO_4^{3-}

So, the formula is :-

Co         PO_4^{3-}

2                    3

Co_3(PO_4)_2
