What is the formula for the stable binary ionic compound formed between Barium and Oxygen?
1 answer:
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 cation and
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

Calculate the amount of sugar (C12 H22 O11) in the morning tea if a teaspoon contains 5g of sugar?
Given parameters
Mass of sugar = 5g
Unknown:
Amount of the sugar =?
Solution:
A mole is the amount of substance that contains avogadro's number of particles i.e 6.02 x 10²³
Therefore, to find the number of moles contained in the teaspoon of sugar we use the expression below:
Number of moles =
Molar mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ = (12x12) + (1x22) + (16x11) = 342g/mol
Number of moles = = 0.015mol of sugar
or 0.015 x 6.02 x 10²³, 8.8x10²¹atoms of sugar
