Classifying compounds as ionic or covalent
If a compound is made from a metal and a non-metal, its bonding will be ionic.
If a compound is made from two non-metals, its bonding will be covalent.
Answer:
The answer is: <u>Al2O3</u>
Explanation:
The data they give us is:
To find the empirical formula without knowing the grams of the compound, we find it per mole:
- 0.545 g Al * 1 mol Al / 27 g Al = 0.02 mol Al
- 0.485 g O * 1 mol O / 16 g O = 0.03 mol O
Then we must divide the results obtained by the lowest result, which in this case is 0.02:
- 0.02 mol Al / 0.02 = 1 Al
- 0.03 mol O / 0.02 = 1.5 O
Since both numbers have to give an integer, multiply by 2 until both remain integers:
Now the answer is given correctly:
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula of nickeI(II)nitrate hexahydrate is
Ni(NO3)2.6H2O
So option (c) is correct.
