Answer:

Bi2(SO4)3

Explanation:

Bismuth(iii) sulfate is an ionic compound therefore, their is transfer of electron. Ionic compound has both cations and anions. The cations is positively charged ion while the anions is negatively charged ions. The cations loses electron to become positively charged while the anions gains electron to become negatively charged.

From the compound above, Bismuth(iii) sulfate the cations will be Bismuth ion which loses 3 electrons. The anions is the sulfate ion (S04)2- with a -2 charge.

The chemical formula can be computed from the charge configuration as follows

Bi3+ and (SO4)2-

cross multiply the charges living the sign behind to get the chemical formula

Bi2(SO4)3

Note the final chemical formula, the numbers are sub scripted

How many liters of CO2 are in 4.76 moles? (at STP)

dem82 [27]

Answer: The volume of carbon dioxide gas at STP for given amount is 106.624 L

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of carbon dioxide = 4.76 moles

At STP:

1 mole of a gas occupies a volume of 22.4 Liters

So, for 4.76 moles of carbon dioxide gas will occupy a volume of = $\frac{22.4L}{1mol\times 4.76mol=106.624L$

Hence, the volume of carbon dioxide gas at STP for given amount is 106.624 L

Given:

Mass of calcium nitrate (Ca(NO3)2) = 96.1 g

To determine:

Theoretical yield of calcium phosphate, Ca3(PO4)2

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical reaction-

3Ca(NO3)2 + 2Na3PO4 → 6NaNO3 + Ca3(PO4)2

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

3 moles of Ca(NO3)2 produces 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2

Now,

Given mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 96.1 g

Molar mass of Ca(NO3)2 = 164 g/mol

# moles of ca(NO3)2 = 96.1/164 = 0.5859 moles

Therefore, # moles of Ca3(PO4)2 produced = 0.0589 * 1/3 = 0.0196 moles

Molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = 310 g/mol

Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced = 0.0196 * 310 = 6.076 g

Ans: Theoretical yield of Ca3(PO4)2 = 6.08 g

Elanso [62]

Answer:

Alcohol-related diseases frequently cause low Mg+ levels.

- Mg+ deficiencies must be treated before potassium (K+) deficiencies.

- Mg+ deficiencies often result in low serum potassium (K+)

- Mg++ levels present similarly to calcium (Ca++) levels in the blood.

- Vomiting is not generally seen as a major cause of Mg+ loss
