Example #1 write the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide
Step 1
-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table
CaO
Step 2
Find the charges for Calcium and Oxygen
which are Ca 2+ and O 2-
Step 3
Balance out the charges
They are already balanced out
Here´s the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide
CaO
Example 2 write the chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide
Step 1
-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table
A
l
O
Step 2
Find the charges for Aluminum and Oxygen
Which are Al 3+ and O 2-
Step 3
Balance out the charges
You need 2 Aluminum and 3 Oxygen to balance the charges
Al 3+ O 2-
Al 3+ O 2-
= 6 + O 2-
= 6-
Step 4
If you need more then one element to balance out the charges you identify that by using subscripts
Heres your chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide
Answer:
NaCl has a smaller lattice energy compared to CaO
Explanation:
We have remember that lattice energy increases as the size of the ions in the ionic solid decreases. According to Oxford dictionary; lattice energy is "a measure of the energy contained in the crystal lattice of a compound, equal to the energy that would be released if the component ions were brought together from infinity."
We know that the larger the magnitude of charge on a cation the smaller in size the cation is and the size of anions increase from left to right in the periodic table. Hence Ca^2+<Na^+ and O^2- < Cl^-. Therefore the lattice energy of CaO is greater than that of NaCl.
The melting point of gallium is 85.59°F (29.77°C).
Use Boyle's Law of Pressure: P1 x V1 = P2 x V2. Givens: P1=0.9 atm V1= 4 P2= 0.9 atm Find: V2 Equation: 0.9 atm x 4 x 4 L = 0.20 atm x V2Solve: 36 atmL= 0.20 atm x V2 18 : = V2 Short answer: The new volume is 104 ml.
Answer:
Option C :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
Explanation:
Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.
So,
Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule
For Example
C₂H₆O₂ Consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)
Now
Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound
C : H : O
2 : 6 : 2
Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio
C : H : O
2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2
1 : 3 : 1
So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1
So the empirical formula will be
Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O
So, Option C is correct :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
