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

The frequency of a water wave that has a wavelength of 0.5 m and a speed of 4 m/s
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

f = 8 Hz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of wave = 0.5 m

Speed of wave = 4 m/s

Frequency = ?

Solution:

Formula:

f = v/λ

f = frequency

v = speed

λ = wavelength

Now we will put the values in formula.

f = v/λ

f = 4 m/s / 0.5 m

f = 8 s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

f = 8 Hz

Draw cis-1-ethyl-2-isopropylcyclohexane in its lowest energy conformer
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The lowest energy conformer is shown in the figure.

Explanation:

In Cis form both the groups are in the same plane (towards the observer or away i.e on dash line or wedge line)

As shown in the diagram.

For cyclohexane terminology, both should be on up position or down position.  

The two groups should be on equatorial position to have most stable conformation.
