When naming compounds, which type of compound uses prefixes to indicate the number of

1 answer:

6 0

Covalent bonds uses prefixes to indicate the number of atoms in the compound.
And example would be water which is dihydrogen monoxide, which means there are 2 hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. The chemical formula would be H2O.

Setler [38]

Answer:

Identify the "given" information and what the problem is asking you to "find."

Given : Cl2O7

Find: % Composition (% Cl and %O)

List other known quantities.

Mass of Cl in 1 mol Cl2O7 , 2 Cl : 2 x 35.45 g = 70.90 g

Mass of O in 1 mol Cl2O7 , 7 O: 7 x 16.00 g = 112.00 g

Molar mass of Cl2O7 = 182.90 g/mol

A scientist is combining two grey elements he thinks he will get a compound why is this prediction wrong

DedPeter [7]

In a compund, the proportion must be fixed, unlike mixture. Therefore, if he just combine two elements, there must be excess elements mixed in it.
Second, how did he combined two elements? In order to create a compund, either heat or electricity must be applied.
Therefore, even if he used heat / electricity, he still hasn't got the right proportion, therefore he must have mixed some excess elements into the compund that he thought he made.

What is the net ionic equation of the reaction of FeCl2 with NaOH? Express you answer as a chemical equation including phases.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

To determine the reaction, we define the reactants:

FeCl₂, NaOH

We dissociate them:

FeCl₂(aq) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

NaOH (aq) → Na⁺ (aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Salts from chloride are soluble, except for Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg₂²⁺, Cu⁺

The OH⁻ and the Fe²⁺ bonds to make a precipitate.

So, the molecular complete equation is:

FeCl₂(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s) ↓ + 2NaCl(aq)

When we dissociate the elements, we get the net ionic equation but as we produced an state's change, the compound stays the same.

We cancel the spectators ions (the ones, that are repeated)

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq) + 2Na⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq)

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s)
