Answer: a. BaO

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here element barium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as $Ba^{2+}$ cation and $O^{2-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $BaO$

Answer:

8.0 g

Explanation:

To convert moles to grams, you need to use the molar mass. The molar mass of sulfur is 32.06. The molar mass is the atomic mass of the atom.

(0.25 mol) × (32.06 g/mol) = 8.015 g

Round for significant figures.

8.015 g ≈ 8.0 g

Arguments in favor of renewable energy

fenix001 [56]

I actually did the math for this a while ago. In order to install solar panels to every house in America it would cost a one time payment of about 900 billion dollars. We spend 700 billion on fossil fuels each year so in two years it would already pay itself off them we'd actually profit from it. Even if you don't believe in global warming you can't argue with that.
