Answer:
Yes, the chemist can determine which compound is in the sample.
Explanation:
In 1 mole of K₂O, the mass of K is 2 × 39.1 g = 78.2 g and the mass of K₂O is 94.2 g. The mass ratio of K to K₂O is 78.2 g / 94.2 g = 0.830.
In 1 mole of K₂O₂, the mass of K is 2 × 39.1 g = 78.2 g and the mass of K₂O₂ is 110.2 g. The mass ratio of K to K₂O₂ is 78.2 g / 110.2 g = 0.710.
If the chemist knows the mass of K and the mass of the sample, he or she must calculate the mass ratio of K to the sample.
- If the ratio is 0.830, the compound is pure K₂O.
- If the ratio is 0.710, the compound is pure K₂O₂.
- If the ratio is not 0.830 or 0.710, the sample is a mixture.
Answer:The formulas of ionic compounds are:
a)
b)
c)
d)
Explanation:
Formulas for the an ionic compounds is determine by:
Criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.
(a) Copper bromide :Given that it contains 
ion.
(b) Manganese oxide : Given that it contains 
ion.
(c)Mercury iodide :Given that it contains 
(d) Magnesium phosphate :Given that it contains 
Answer:
Explanation:
We have in this question the equilibrium
X ( g ) + Y ( g ) ⇆ Z ( g )
With the equilibrium contant Kp = pZ/(pX x pY)
The moment we change the concentration of Y, we are changing effectively the partial pressure of Y since pressure and concentration are directly proportional
pV = nRT ⇒ p = nRT/V and n/V is molarity.
Therefore we can calculate the reaction quotient Q
Qp = pZ/(pX x pY) = 1/ 1 x 0.5 atm = 2
Since Qp is greater than Kp the system proceeds from right to left.
We could also arrive to the same conclusion by applying LeChatelier´s principle which states that any disturbance in the equilibrium, the system will react in such a way to counteract the change to restore the equilibrium. Therefore, by having reduced the pressure of Y the system will react favoring the reactants side increasing some of the y pressure until restoring the equilibrium Kp = 1.
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
