1. How are ionic compounds named?

1 answer:

7 0

Ionic compounds are neutral compounds made up of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions. For binary ionic compounds (ionic compounds that contain only two types of elements), the compounds are named by writing the name of the cation first followed by the name of the anion.

Opal is a hydrated form of silica. If a laboratory analysis of a sample of opal reveals it to contain29.2% Si, 33.3%O, and 37.5%

ZanzabumX [31]

Let us assume that there is a 100g sample of Opal. The masses of each element will be:
29.2g Si
33.3g O
37.5g H2O
Now we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to get the moles present
Si: (29.2 / 28) = 1.04
O: (33.3 / 16) = 2.08
H2O: (37.5 / 18) = 2.08
Now we divide by the smallest number and obtain:
Si: 1
O: 2
H2O: 2
Thus, the empirical formula of Opal is:
SiO2 . 2H2O

What makes alkali metals a family?

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The metals in this group are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. The gas hydrogen is also put in this group because it shares similar reactivity with the alkali metals.

I don't know if this is what you wanted or not sorry if it isn't

How many molecules of CBr4 are in 250 grams of CBr4

Kazeer [188]

Answer:- $4.54*10^2^3$ molecules.

Solution:- The grams of tetrabromomethane are given and it asks to calculate the number of molecules.

It is a two step unit conversion problem. In the first step, grams are converted to moles on dividing the grams by molar mass.

In second step, the moles are converted to molecules on multiplying by Avogadro number.

Molar mass of $CBr_4$ = 12+4(79.9) = 331.6 g per mol

let's make the set up using dimensional analysis:

$250g(\frac{1mol}{331.6g})(\frac{6.022*10^2^3molecules}{1mol})$

= $4.54*10^2^3$ molecules

So, there will be $4.54*10^2^3$ molecules in 250 grams of $CBr_4$ .

Calculate how many times more soluble Mg(OH)2 is in pure water Based on the given value of the Ksp, 5.61×10−11, calculate the ra

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

molar solubility in water = 2.412 * 10^-4 mol/L

molar solubility of NaOH in 0.130M = 3.32 * 10^-9 mol/L

Mg(OH)2 is a factor 0.73*10^5 more soluble in pure water than in 0.130 M NaOH

Explanation:

The Ksp refers to the partial solubilization of a mostly insoluble salt. This is an equilibrium process.

The equation for the solubilization reaction of Mg(OH)2 can be given as:

Mg(OH)2 (s) → Mg2+ (aq) + 2OH– (aq)

Ksp can then be given as followed:

Ksp = [Mg^2+][OH^–]²

Step 2: Calculate the solubility in water

Mg(OH)2 (s) → Mg2+ (aq) + 2OH– (aq)

The mole ratio Mg^2+ with OH- is 1:2

So there will react X of Mg^2+ and 2X of OH-

The concentration at equilibrium will be XM Mg^2+ and 2X OH-

Ksp = [Mg^2+][OH^–]²

5.61*10^-11 = X * (2X)² = X *4X² = 4X³

X = 2.412 * 10^-4 mol/L = solubility in water

Step 3: Calculate solubility in 0.130 M NaOH

The initial concentration of Mg^2+ = 0 M

The initial concentration of OH- = 0.130 M

The mole ratio Mg^2+ with OH- is 1:2

So there will react X of Mg^2+ and 2X +0.130 for OH-

The concentration at equilibrium will be XM Mg^2+ and 0.130 + 2X OH-

The value of "[OH–] + 2X" is, because the very small value of X, equal to the value of [OH–] .

Let's consider:

[Mg+2] = X

[OH] = 0.130

Ksp = [Mg^2+][OH^–]²

5.61*10^-11 = X *(0.130)²

5.61*10^-11 = X * (0.130)^2

X = 3.32*10^-9 = solubility in 0.130 M NaOH

Step 4: Calculate how many times Mg(OH)2 is better soluble in pure water.

(2.412*10^-4)/ (3.32*10^-9) = 0.73 * 10^5

Mg(OH)2 is a factor 0.73*10^5 more soluble in pure water than in 0.130 M NaOH

In the uncatalyzed reaction N2O4 (g) ⇌ 2 NO2 (g) the pressure of the gases at equilibrium are PN2O4 = 0.377 atm and PNO2 = 1.56

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The pressures will remain at the same value.

Explanation:

A catalyst is a substance that alter the rate of a chemical reaction. It either speeds up the or slows down the rate of a chemical reaction.

While a catalyst affects the rate, it is noteworthy that it has no effect on the equilibrium position of the chemical reaction. A catalyst works by creating an alternative pathway for the reaction to proceed. Most times, it decreases the activation energy needed to kickstart the chemical reaction.

Hence, we know that it has no effect on the equilibrium position. Factors affecting equilibrium position includes, temperature and concentration of reactants and products( pressure in terms of gases).

The reactants and the products here are gaseous, and as such pressure affects the equilibrium position. Now, we have established that the equilibrium position is unaffected. And as such the pressure affecting it does not change.

Thus, we have established that the pressure of the products and reactants are unaffected and as such they remain at their value unaffected.
