To determine the charge of the iron, you must know the charge from the oxygen. An oxygen ion has a -2 charge. Therefore, 3 oxygen ions have -6 charge. We know that charges must cancel out. If it were Fe+2 in the compound, the overall charge would be -2, which isn’t correct. So, we can conclude that it is Fe+3 found in iron (III) oxide.

What reaction might we use to synthesize nickel sulfate,niso4? Write equations for acid base neutralization. Include states in y

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

1. Nickel sulfate

base + acid ⟶ salt + water

NiSO₄ is a salt of the base Ni(OH)₂ and the acid sulfuric acid.

Hydroxides of transition metals are insoluble; most sulfates are soluble.

$\underbrace{\hbox{Ni(OH)$_{2}$(s)}}_{\hbox{base}} + \underbrace{\hbox{H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{acid}} \longrightarrow \, \underbrace{\hbox{NiSO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{salt}} + \underbrace{\hbox{2H$_{2}$O(l)}}_{\hbox{water}}$

2. Carbonate + acid

Most carbonates are insoluble.

They react with acids to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.

$\rm NiCO_{3}(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \longrightarrow \, NiSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + CO_{2}(g)$

Which characteristic is a property of water?

Rus_ich [418]

Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation:

Polar molecules are molecules in which formation of partial charges takes place due to which dipole moment gets created in a molecule. Molecules with polar bonds that s bond with partly ionic character. And water is of the example of polar molecule.

Electronegative oxygen atom in water molecule attracts the electron bond pair towards itself which generates partial negative charge on oxygen atom and partial positive charge on both hydrogen atoms.

Where as water has higher value surface tension due to strong intermolecular association of the water molecule due to presence of hydrogen bonding.And it is more denser is liquid state than in its solid state.

Hence,the correct answer is option (A).

WARRIOR [948]

The semi will have the hardest time changing direction because of its mass. The more mass there is, the more effort it takes to accelerate and decelerate as well as change direction.
