When naming a compound made from a metal and a non-metal, what is done to the name of the second element?

1 answer:

4 0

Metals combine with nonmetals to give ionic compounds. When naming binary ionic compounds, name the cation first (specifying the charge, if necessary), then the nonmetal anion (element stem + -ide). Hope this helps!

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

22.7%

Explanation:

We must first put down the equation of reaction to guide our work while solving the problem.

KCN(aq) + HCl (aq)--> KCl(aq) + HCN(aq)

The questions specifically state that HCl is in excess so KCN is the limiting reactant.

Number of moles of KCN reacted= mass of KCN reacted / molar mass of KCN

Mass of KCN reacted= 3.2 g

Molar mass of KCN= 65.12 g/mol

Number of moles of KCN= 3.2/65.12 g/mol= 0.049 moles

Theoretical yield of HCN is obtained thus;

From the reaction equation;

1 mol of KCN produced 1 mole of HCN thus 0.049 moles of KCN will produce 0.049 moles of HCN.

Mass of HCN = number of moles ×molar mass

Molar mass of HCN= 27.0253 g/mol

Hence mass of HCN produced= 0.049mol × 27.0253 g/mol= 1.32g of HCN

Actual yield of HCN= 0.30g

% yield= actual yield/ theoretical yield ×100

% yield= 0.30/1.32 ×100

%yield= 22.7%

Answer: $2NaNO_3(aq)+(CH_3COO)_2Pb(aq)\rightarrow 2CH_3COONa(aq)+Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)$

Explanation: A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place.

The compounds which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

Thus the exchange of ions take place and all the compounds are soluble so the chemical formulas are followed by the symbol (aq).

fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct option is: c. petroleum jelly, d. Polyethylene glycol 4000/600 mixture

Explanation:

Topical medications are used for the treatment of ailments and include ointments, gels, lotions creams etc. that can applied directly on the surface of the body i.e. skin.

An ointment base medication gets rapidly absorbed into the skin. Some of the examples of ointment bases include water-soluble bases: polyethylene glycol, hydrocarbon bases: petroleum jelly, paraffin wax.
