Upstream speed = S - 1
Downstream speed = S + 1
Average speed = total distance / total time
Average speed = (S - 1) + (S + 1) / 2
= S
S = 6 miles / 4 hours
S = 1.5 miles per hour
In the writing of ionic chemical formulas the value of each ion's charge is crossed over in the crossover rule.
Rules for naming Ionic compounds
- Frist Rule
The cation (element with a negative charge) is written first in the name then the anion(element with a positive charge) is written second in the name.
- Second rule
When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written outside the parentheses.
Example: Sodium carbonate is written as Na₂CO₃ not Na₂(CO)₃
- Third rule
If the cation is a metal ion with a fixed charge then the name of the cation will remain the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (Example: Na+ will be sodium).
If the cation is a metal ion with a variable charge, the charge on the cation is indicated using a Roman numeral, in parentheses, immediately following the name of the cation (example: Fe³⁺ = iron(III)).
- Fourth rule
If the anion is a monatomic ion, the anion is named by adding the suffix <em>-ide</em> to the root of the element name (example: F = Fluoride).
The oxidation state of each ion is also important, thus in the crossover rule, the value of each ion's charge is crossed over.
