How do i find a ionic formula? for example Ca2+ & S2-
1 answer:
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

Answer:
34,6g of (NH₄)₂SO₄
Explanation:
The boiling-point elevation describes the phenomenon in which the boiling point of a liquid increases with the addition of a compound. The formula is:
ΔT = kb×m
Where ΔT is Tsolution - T solvent; kb is ebullioscopic constant and m is molality of ions in solution.
For the problem:
ΔT = 109,7°C-108,3°C = 1,4°C
kb = 1.07 °C kg/mol
Solving:
m = 1,31 mol/kg
As mass of X = 600g = 0,600kg:
1,31mol/kg×0,600kg = 0,785 moles of ions. As (NH₄)₂SO₄ has three ions:
0,785 moles of ions× = 0,262 moles of (NH₄)₂SO₄
As molar mass of (NH₄)₂SO₄ is 132,14g/mol:
0,262 moles of (NH₄)₂SO₄× = <em>34,6g of (NH₄)₂SO₄</em>
<em></em>
I hope it helps!
