<span>The hint here is to look at the anion of the compound. That is the polyatomic ion, sulfate or SO4. It has a charge of -2. Since the compound does not show any subscript, then it means that the cation must have a charge of +2 for it to be cancelled out. Hence, the elements that can represent X are the elements that have a +2 charge like Fe, Ca, Ba, Mg, Zn, etc.</span>

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Ca2+, V5+, Br-
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

CaS, CaBr₂, VBr₅, and V₂S₅.

Explanation:

  • The ionic compound should be neutral; the overall charge of it is equal to zero.
  • Binary ionic compound is composed of two different ions.

<u>Ca²⁺ can combined with either Br⁻ or S²⁻ to form binary ionic compounds.</u>

  • CaS can be formed via combining Ca²⁺ with S²⁻ to form the neutral binary ionic compound CaS.
  • CaBr₂ can be formed via combining 1 mole of Ca²⁺ with 2 moles of Br⁻ to form the neutral binary ionic compound CaBr₂.

<u>V⁵⁺ can combined with either Br⁻ or S²⁻ to form binary ionic compounds.</u>

  • V₂S₅ can be formed via combining 2 moles of V⁵⁺ with 5 moles of S²⁻ to form the neutral binary ionic compound V₂S₅.
  • VBr₅ can be formed via combining 1 mole of V⁵⁺ with 5 moles of Br⁻ to form the neutral binary ionic compound VBr₅.

<em>So, the empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds that could be formed is: CaS, CaBr₂, VBr₅, and V₂S₅.</em>

What is the halflife of a radioisotope if a 20-g sample becomes 10g after 16 hours
ohaa [14]

Answer:

T½ = 16hours

Explanation:

Final mass (N) = 10g

Initial mass (No) = 20g

Time (t) = 16hours

T½ = ?

T½ = In2 / λ

But λ = ?

In(N/No) = -λt

In(10/20) = -(λ * 16)

In(0.5) = -16λ

-0.693 = -16λ

λ = 0.693 / 16

λ = 0.0433

Note : λ is known as the disintegration constant

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / 0.0433

T½ = 16hours

The half-life of the sample is 16hours

A chemist heats 100.0 g of FeSO4 x 7H2O in a crucible to drive off the water. If all the water is driven off, what is the mass o
Ierofanga [76]
FeSO₄*7H₂O(s) = FeSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(g)

M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)=278.0 g/mol
M(FeSO₄)=151.9 g/mol

m(FeSO₄*7H₂O)/M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)=m(FeSO₄)/M(FeSO₄)

m(FeSO₄)=M(FeSO₄)m(FeSO₄*7H₂O)/M(FeSO₄*7H₂O)

m(FeSO₄)=151.9*100.0/278.0=54.6 g

m(FeSO₄)=54.6 g

6K + B2O3 → 3K2O + 2B
atroni [7]

Answer:

104.84 moles

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of Boron produced = ?

Mass of B₂O₃ = 3650 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

6K + B₂O₃    →    3K₂O + 2B

Number of moles of B₂O₃:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 3650 g/ 69.63 g/mol

Number of moles = 52.42 mol

Now we will compare the moles of  B₂O₃ with B from balance chemical equation:

                 B₂O₃          :          B

                    1              :          2

                52.42         :        2×52.42 = 104.84

Thus from 3650 g of  B₂O₃  104.84 moles of boron will produced.
