Concept introduction:
The compounds which are formed between two elements are known as binary compounds and if one element is metal and another is non-metal, then the binary compound are made up of ions, known as binary ionic compounds.
First, the name of the metal should be identified with the help of its symbol.
The name of the non-metal should be identified with the help of its symbol and it is modified to end in “−ide”.
Polyatomic ions are those ions in which two or more atoms are joined with each other by covalent bonds. These ions are common, especially among non-metals.
Some non-metals form a sequence of oxoanions having different number of oxygen atoms. The name of these compounds are related with the oxidation state of non-metal atom to which oxygen atoms are bonded, ranging from hypo- (low) to per-(high) on the basis of number of oxygen atoms and oxidation state of non-metal.

- The present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forwardChlorine exists mainly as two isotopes, 37Cl and 33Cl. Which is more abundant? How do you know?arrow_forwardYou take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.arrow_forward

The box on the left represents the reactants at the instant of mixing, and the box on the right shows what is left once the reaction has gone to completion. Was there a limiting reactant in this reaction? If so, what was it? Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. As usual, your equation should use the smallest possible whole number coefficients for all substances.arrow_forward
