Explain how to write the chemical formula for sodium (Na +) and the polyatomic ion carbonate (Co2).

Chemistry

Lorico [155]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

sodium (Na +)

Carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻)

Ionic compounds are formed between ions (Anions and Cations).

For a neutral compound to be formed, the charges of the ions must cancel each other out.

Sodium ion has a charge of +1

Carbonate ion has  a charge of -2

The only way to make sure both ions have similar charges is to multiply each ion by the coefficient of the other.

Thus we have;

Sodium ion = +1 * 2 = +2

Carbonate ion = -2 * 1 = -2

From this, the chemical formular of the product formed between both ions must contain 2 sodium ions and one carbonate ion.

This is given by;

Na₂CO3

What is the best solution to groundwater depletion?
atroni [7]
<span>Ground water depletion is one of the major problems. The best solution is to conserve water that we are having currently and to recycle those wasted water. water conservation can be done in many ways such as reduce the level of pumping the ground water, avoiding the use of chemicals, use of natural fertilizers, rain water saving, pumping water to the tanks from stored rain water in the ground, way of handling the water consuming jobs.</span>

Write the complete thermochemical equation (including energy) for the combustion of hexane.
antoniya [11.8K]
2C₆H₁₄+19O₂⇒14H₂O+12CO₂+energy
You can tell that the energy is on the left side since the reactoin is highly exothermic meaning it releases heat which can also be thought of as energy.

Greater than ___________ mcg/dl is considered a high level of morning cortisol.
Natalija [7]

Greater than 23mcg/dl is considered a high level of morning cortisol.

Normally, cortisol levels rise during the early morning hours and are highest about 7AM. They drop very low in the evening and during the early phase of sleep. If you do not have this daily change (diurnal rhythm) in cortisol levels, you may have overactive adrenal glands. This condition is called Cushing's syndrome.

V\3. The atomic masses of any two elements contain the same number of _
SashulF [63]

a. atoms

Explanation:

Let's take as example carbon and lead. Carbon have an atomic mass of 12 a.m.u while lead have an atomic mass of 207 a.m.u. Value of atomic masses are the same with as the value of molar masses. So carbon have a molar mass of 12 g/mole while lead have a molar mass of 207 g/mol.

Avogadro's number it tell us that in 1 mole of particular substance there are 6.022 × 10²³ particles. Taking in account this, in 12 g of carbon there are 6.022 × 10²³ carbon atoms and in 207 g of lead there are 6.022 × 10²³ lead atoms atoms.

The atomic mass of any two elements contain the same number of atoms.
