Chapter 3, Problem 3.28PP

a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The number of each type of ion present in the ionic compound ${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\text{Na}$.

Introduction:

A chemical formula represents the number of atoms of each element that are present in a given compound.

In ionic compounds, cations are the positively charged ions, whereas anions are the negatively charged ions. These ions are bonded with each other through the electrostatic forces of attraction.

b.
