Chemistry

Damm [24]2 years ago

Answer:

use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.

Example:

NaCl

one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.

2CaCl2

2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal

Why is the formation of water a synthesis reaction?
lisabon 2012 [21]

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction: It is defined as a kind of reaction where one and more than one reactant attached and creates an individual product.

The formation of the water is an example of a synthesis reaction because here more than one reactants combine and create a single product (water). Water formation occurs when 2 hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons through covalent bonds.

2H + O ----> H2O.

8moles of Na2Cr2O2 is how much mass​
Margaret [11]

\boxed{\boxed{\mathfrak{ 1\: mole \:of \:Na_2Cr_2O_2\: = \:it's \:Gram\: Mol. \: mass}} }

\underline{ \mathfrak{ Gram \:molecular \:mass \:of \: \red{ Na_2Cr_2O_2}}}

= 2 × 23 + 2 × 52 + 2 × 16

= 182 grams

1 mole of Na_2Cr_2O_2 weighs = 182 g

8 moles weigh = 8× 182

=\mathfrak{\blue {\boxed{\underline {1456 \: grams}}}}

or

\mathfrak{\blue {\boxed{\underline {1. 46 \:kg }}}}
