(a)
Interpretation:
The formulas of compounds in which the combining ratios are as follows:
Potassium: Oxygen, 2: 1.
Concept Introduction:
The substance having similar atom is called an element. When two or more elements combined together chemically they form a pure substance called a compound. But in case of mixture, it is formed when two substances joined together without any

(b)
Interpretation:
The formulas of compounds in which the combining ratios are as follows:
Sodium: phosphorous: oxygen, 3:1:4.
Concept Introduction:
The substance having similar atom is called an element. When two or more elements combined together chemically they form a pure substance called a compound. But in case of mixture, it is formed when two substances joined together without any chemical bonding. Example of compound is H2 O, and example of element is N, example of mixture is mixture of sand and sugar.
The symbols of chemical elements are abbreviated that are used to denote the chemical element. Most of the chemical symbols correspond directly to the name of the element in English, although few are derived from the Latin or German.

Interpretation:
The formulas of compounds in which the combining ratios are as follows:
Lithium: Nitrogen: Oxygen, 1:1:3.

- Soap is made by the previous reaction *see image. The main difference between one soap and another soap isthe length (number of carbons) of the carboxylic acid. However, if a soap irritates your skin, they mostlikely used too much lye.Detergents have the same chemical structure as soaps except for the functional group. Detergentshave sulfate (R-SO4H) and phosphate (R-PO4H2) functional groups. Draw the above carboxylic acidcarbon chain but as the two variants of detergents. *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forwardWhat are the reactions or reagents used? *see imagearrow_forward
