Looking at the name of an acid, how do you know if it only contains two

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maslowich3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

If it contains only 2 elements it will begin with “hydro” as in  

hydrochloric acid (HCl). If it contains more than 2 elements it is named based on the polyatomic (oxy) anion, as in nitric acid (HNO3), nitrous acid (HNO2), sulfuric acid (H2SO4). If the element has more than one possible charge, the value of the charge comes after the element name and before the word ion. Thus, Fe 2+ is the iron two ion, while Fe 3+ is the iron three ion.

Which of the following equations is balanced correctly and has the correct products for the reactants RbNO3 and BeF2?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

2RbNO₃ + BeF₂ → Be(NO₃)₂ + 2RbF, because Be keeps a 2+ charge throughout the reaction

Explanation:

2RbNO₃ + BeF₂ → Be(NO₃)₂ + 2RbF, because Be keeps a 2+ charge throughout the reaction

Rb is a +1 cation, NO3 is a -1 anion, Be is a +2 cation and F is a -1 anion.

In writing an ionic compound the charge of the cation becomes the subscript of the anion and the charge of the anion becomes the subscript of the cation.  

So the ionic compound formed between Be2+ and F- is BeF2. The ionic compound formed between Be2+ and NO3- is Be(NO₃)₂.  

As there are two NO₃ on the product side it is balanced by writing a 2 coefficient before RbNO₃ on the reactant side.  

And as there are two F on the reactant side it is balanced by writing a 2 coefficient before RbF on the product side.

If water and hydrogen peroxide both consist of hydrogen and oxygen atoms can you explain why they have different chemical and ph
liberstina [14]
Water is H2O, whereas Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2 -> the extra oxygen atom changes the substance entirely.
