Answer:

We can use the criss-cross method to work out the formulas.

Explanation:

The steps are

Write the symbols of the anion and cation.
Criss-cross the numbers of the charges to become the subscripts of the other ion.
Write the formula with the new subscripts.
Divide the subscripts by their highest common factor.
Omit all subscripts that are 1.

When we use this method, the formula for the compound formed from NH₄⁺ and PO₄³⁻ becomes (NH₄)₃PO₄.

The table below lists the formulas for the possible combinations.

$\begin{array}{ccc}& \textbf{PO}_{4}^{3-} & \textbf{ClO}_{3}^{-}\\\textbf{NH}_{4}^{+} & \text{(NH$_{4}$)$_{3}$PO$_{4}$} & \text{NH$_{4}$ClO}_{3}\\\textbf{Fe}^{3+} & \text{FePO}_{4} & \text{Fe(ClO$_{3}$)}_{3}\\\end{array}$

zalisa [80]

The energy involved in melting in freezing is heat, At 0 degrees Celsius ice is at an equilibrium where the heat energy absorbed during melting (endothermic) and heat energy dispersed during freezing (exothermic). When ice melts its absorbs heat energy to change states, when water freezes to ice it dispersed heat energy so that the particles can move slow enough to be almost frozen, but still very small vibrations throughout the ice. Particles in the frozen state are packed tightly and help together by a crystal lattice and IMF's, liquid is free flowing with free floating particles that can move freely from one another particle.

The Ostwald process for the commercial production of nitric acid from ammonia and oxygen involves the following steps:

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

$12 NH_3 (g)+ 21 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow 14 H_2O (l) + 8 HNO_3 (g) + 4 NO (g)$

Explanation:

The steps of the Ostwald process:

$4 NH_3 (g) + 5 O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g)$

$2 NO (g) + O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 2 NO_2 (g)$

$3 NO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 2 HNO_3 (g) + NO (g)$

Combinning the equations:

$4 NH_3 (g) + 5 O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g)$

$(2 NO (g) + O_2 (g) \longrightarrow 2 NO_2 (g))*2$

$(3 NO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 2 HNO_3 (g) + NO (g))*4/3$

$4 NH_3 (g)+ 4 NO (g)+ 7 O_2 (g) + 4 NO_2 (g) +4/3 H_2O (l) \longrightarrow 4 NO (g) + 6 H_2O (g) + 4 NO_2(g) + 8/3 HNO_3 (g) + 4/3 NO (g)$

Simplifying:

$4 NH_3 (g)+ 7 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow 14/3 H_2O (l) + 8/3 HNO_3 (g) + 4/3 NO (g)$

$12 NH_3 (g)+ 21 O_2 (g) + \longrightarrow 14 H_2O (l) + 8 HNO_3 (g) + 4 NO (g)$

The overall reaction is endothermic becuase the formation of new chemical bonds requires energy consumption.

Describe the shapes and relative energies of the SPD & f atomic orbitals

Deffense [45]

Explanation:

The shapes and relative energies of the orbitals s,p,d and f orbitals are given by the principal quantum number and the azimuthal quantum number.

The principal quantum number gives the main energy level and the azimuthal quantum number denotes the shape of the orbitals.

For the principal quantum number, they represent the energy levels in which the orbital is located or the average distance of the orbital from the nucleus. It takes the number n = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7......
The azimuthal quantum number(L) shows the shape of the orbitals in subshells accommodating electrons. The number of possible shapes is limited by the the principal quantum number.
