Example #1 write the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide

Step 1

-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table

CaO

Step 2

Find the charges for Calcium and Oxygen

which are Ca 2+ and O 2-

Step 3

Balance out the charges

They are already balanced out

Here´s the chemical formula for Calcium Oxide

CaO

Example 2 write the chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide

Step 1

-Find the Atomic symbol of the metal and non-metal on the periodic table

A

l

O

Step 2

Find the charges for Aluminum and Oxygen

Which are Al 3+ and O 2-

Step 3

Balance out the charges

You need 2 Aluminum and 3 Oxygen to balance the charges

Al 3+ O 2-

Al 3+ O 2-

= 6 + O 2-

= 6-

Step 4

If you need more then one element to balance out the charges you identify that by using subscripts

Heres your chemical formula for Aluminum Oxide

Al_{2} O_{3}

Which of the following claims may be made based on your observations? (You will recieve negative points for wrong answers.)
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

D, E and F

Explanation:

About tetrachloro cobalt complexes, the following facts have been observed  

  • Color of the tetrachloro cobalt complexes is blue.
  • They do not decompose on heating that means synthesis of tetra chloro is endothermic.

About hexa aqua cobalt complexes, the following facts have been observed  

  • Color of the hexa aqua cobalt complexes is pink color.
  • They decompose on heating and remain stable on cooling that means process of synthesis of hexa aqua cobalt complexes is exothermic.

Based on above, the correct statements are:

The correct is chloro cobalt complex is blue and aqua cobalt  

complex is pink.  

The chloro complex is favored by heating.

If the chloro complex is a product, then the reaction must be endothermic.

The correct options are D, E and F.

Where would you have the least weight?​
Vikki [24]

In a place with no gravity

Explanation:

Weight is a force exerted by a body in the presence of gravity.

        Weight = mass x gravity

Without gravity, there is no force of weight. The more the gravity, the more the weight of a body.

A body will experience weightlessness in a place without no gravity.

Therefore, one will experience the least weight in a place without the pull of gravity.

A sample may contain any or all of the following ions: Hg22+, Ba2+, Mn2+. No precipitate formed when an aqueous solution of NaCl
Bess [88]

Answer:

Only Mn⁺² is present.

Explanation:

  • When an aqueous solution of NaCl is added, the Cl⁻ species is introduced. In the presence of Cl⁻, Hg₂²⁺ would precipitate as Hg₂Cl₂.
  • When an aqueous solution of Na₂SO₄ is added, the SO₄⁻² species is introduced. In the presence of SO₄⁻², Ba⁺² would precipitate as BaSO₄.

No precipitate formed when either of these solutions were added, thus <u>the sample does not contain Hg₂⁺² nor Ba⁺²</u>.

  • Under basic conditions Mn⁺² would precipitate as Mn(OH)₂. A precipitate formed once the solution was made basic, so <u>the sample contains Mn⁺²</u>.

What is the difference between measured and accepted value? And how are these values used to determine the precision of these va
serg [7]
Measured values are verified and go under a series of experiments before being accepted as the norm. Accepted values are unanimously accepted values, seen as the norm by a qualified group of individuals (scientists or the people of the intellectual sphere).
