A formulation scientist is creating a formula for a new product that requires the following compounds: barium chloride, silicon
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Yes. These chemicals named barium chloride and calcium carbonate have been named properly. But silicon oxide has not been named correctly, an oxide of silicon is named as silicon dioxide not silicon oxide.

Explanation:

In chemistry while naming chemicals there are certain rules and naming the chemicals as per these rules is known as chemical nomenclature. The IUPAC's rule for chemical nomenclature of inorganic compounds can be read in a book named as red book.

<u>By sign convention, a cation is named first followed by an anion.</u> For example, in barium chloride (BaCl₂), barium which is represented by symbol Ba²⁺ is a cation and therefore written before chloride (Cl⁻) which is an anion. Similarly calcium carbonate is represented as CaCO₃.

As per the valency of silicon, it forms a dioxide with oxygen atom and it is represented as SiO₂.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The major idea behind why having a thick, heavy chimney over a thin, metal chimney for heating a home for a longer period is because it retains a lot of heat and this means energy saving, hence it fuel efficient and cost effective

A metal is a good conductor of heat, this property will make it easily give out head that is needed to the surrounding especially at night, therefore a thick chimney especially made from clay material will be a better choice over a thin metal

mezya [45]
To answer this question, we should give the standard free energy change of ATP to ADP conversion that is equal to 30.5 kJ/mol ATP. In this case, 2400 kcal is equal to 10041. 6 kJ. Hence, the mol of ATP produced is 329.23 mol ATP or equal to 166.93 kg ATP.
