(a)
Interpretation:
The formula of the compound magnesium carbonate has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Rules for writing a formula from the name of an ionic compound:
The charge on the cation and anion is determined.
For metals with variable charge, the Roman numeral gives the charge of the cation.
For metals with fixed charge, the name of the cation is written first, followed by name of the anion.
The charges are balanced and the formula of the cation is written first and the subscripts are used to show the number of each ion needed to have zero as overall charge.
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula of the compound nickel sulfate has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The formula of the compound copper (II) hydroxide has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
The formula of the compound potassium hydrogen phosphate has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(e)
Interpretation:
The formula of the compound gold (III) nitrate has to be written.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- 2.37 Why are empirical formulas preferred for describing polymer molecules?arrow_forwardThere are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. Heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with oxygen gas escaping into the atmosphere while leaving a residue of pure mercury. Heating 0.6498 g of one of the compounds leaves a residue of 0.6018 g. Heating 0.4172 g of the other compound results in a mass loss of 0.016 g. Determine the empirical formula of each compound.arrow_forwardGypsum is hydrated calcium sulfate. A 4.89-g sample of this hydrate was heated. After the water was removed, 3.87 g anhydrous calcium sulfate remained. Determine the formula for this hydrate and name the compound.arrow_forward
- Diamond is one form of elemental carbon. An engagement ring contains a diamond weighing 1.25 carats (1 carat = 200 mg). How many atoms are present in the diamond?arrow_forwardA jar contains some number of jelly beans. To find out precisely how many are in the jar, you could dump them out and count them. How could you estimate their number without counting each one? (Chemists need to do just this kind of bean counting when they work with atoms and molecules. Atoms and molecules are too small to count one by one, so chemists have worked out other methods to determine the number of atoms in a sample.)arrow_forwardn chemistry, what is meant by the term mole? What is the importance of the mole concept?arrow_forward
