 how are subscripts determine the formula of ionic and covalent compounds ?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

To determine the correct subscripts in a chemical formula, you have to solve how many atoms you need to balance the charge.

For example if I had the compound Calcium Fluoride I would look at the periodic table and see that Calcium's ionic formula is

Ca2+

. How do I know this? Well all elements want to have 8 valance electrons so they can be stable(happy). Seeing that Calcium has 2 valance electrons it is going to give away 2 electrons because that is easier than gaining 6 to be happy. Since Calcium has given away 2 electrons it has two more protons than electrons. We know that Protons have a Positive charge, Electrons have Negative charge, and the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number of an element in its pure non-ionic state. (Meaning it doesn't have a positive or negative charge; it is balanced.)

So if calcium gave away two electrons, it will have two more protons than an electron giving it a (2+) charge. The same process can be applied to Fluoride. Since fluoride is one to the left of the noble gases(group 18 or 8A) on the periodic table we know that it has 7 valance electrons because it is in group 7A or 17.

Knowing that we have 7 electrons the fluoride atom will gain an extra electron. Since the fluoride atom gained an extra electron it will have one more negative charge than a positive making it a ^(−)ion.

So you know that Calcium has a 2+ charge and that fluoride has a 1- charge, you then need these ions to balance out. So you need two fluorine atoms with a 1- ions to balance out the 2+ ion of calcium. Your final answer would be

CaF2

because you need two fluorine atoms to balance out the 2+ charge of the calcium.

Final Tip: Determine the charges then inverse the charges, remove the positive and negative superscipts, and write the charge numbers as a sub script. Ie. Calcium Fluoride

Ca2+ and F−

inversing and removing the charge signs would give you

A buffer is made that is .10M propanoic acid (pKa = 4.9) and .05M sodium propanoate. Calculate the pH.
inna [77]
PKa= 4.9 therefore ka= 10^-4.9=  1.259x10^-5

ka= \frac{[H^+][CH3CH2COO^-]}{[CH3CH2COOH]}

[CH3CH2COO^-]&#10;= 0.05
[CH3CH2COOH]= 0.10

Therefore 1.259x10^-5 = \frac{[H^+][0.05]}{[0.1]}
Rearrange the equation to make the concentration of hydrogen the subject.
Therefore [H^+] =  \frac{(1.259*10^-5)(0.1)}{0.05}

Therefore [H^+]= 2.513*10^-5

pH= -log [H^+] = -log(2.513*10^-5)= 4.59.

One hundred grams of water is saturated with NH CI at
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

  • About 18 g of NH₄Cl will precipitate.

Explanation:

The <em>table G</em> is the graph of the solubility curves for several solutes which is attached.

The second picture identifies the solubilities for the  NH₄Cl at 50ºC and 10ºC.

The solubility of NH₄Cl at 50ºC is about 52 g/ 100 g of water.

The solubility of NH₄Cl at 10ºC is about 34 g / 100 g of water.

Then, at 50ºC 100 g of water saturated with NH₄Cl contains about 52 g of NH₄Cl and 100 g of water saturated with NH₄Cl contains 34 g of NH₄Cl.

The difference, 52g - 34 g of NH₄Cl shall precipitate:

          52 g - 34 g = 18g ← answer
