Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
K+ should be combined with SO32- in order to derive an ionic compound with zero net charge.
Concept introduction:
An ionic compound is derived by forming an ionic bond between 2 oppositely charged ions. The cations & anions should be combined in a ratio that the net charge of the compound should be zero.
(b)
Interpretation:
Ba2+ should be combined with SO32- in order to derive an ionic compound with zero net charge.
Concept introduction:
An ionic compound is derived by forming an ionic bond between 2 oppositely charged ions. The cations & anions should be combined in a ratio that the net charge of the compound should be zero. If the charges are same in both, the combining ratio is 1: 1.
(c)
Interpretation:
Al3+ should be combined with SO32- in order to derive an ionic compound with zero net charge.
Concept introduction:
An ionic compound is derived by forming an ionic bond between 2 oppositely charged ions. The cations & anions should be combined in a ratio that the net charge of the compound should be zero. To obtain this charge neutrality multiple numbers of cations & anions can be combined.
(d)
Interpretation:
Zn2+ should be combined with SO32- in order to derive an ionic compound with zero net charge.
Concept introduction:
An ionic compound is derived by forming an ionic bond between 2 oppositely charged ions. This bond formation occurs through electrostatic attraction forces between 2 opposite charges. The cations & anions should be combined in a ratio that the net charge of the compound should be zero.

The dominant macrostate or configuration of a system is the macrostate with the greatest weight W. Are both statements correct?arrow_forwardFor the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forward
