(a)
Interpretation:
The formula for the given binary covalent compound is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The compounds which are formed by mixing a nonmetal or two nonmetal elements with one metalloid are known as binary covalent compounds.
The rules for naming the binary covalent compounds are as follows:
• The element’s name that has the lower electronegativity will be written first.
• The element that has the higher electronegativity, its stem name is written first followed by the addition of the suffix –ide at the end.
• The number of elements is represented by the prefix like, mono for

- For each reaction shown below follow the curved arrows to complete each equation by showing the structure of the products. Identify the acid, the base, the conjugated acid and conjugated base. Consutl a pKa table and choose the direciton the equilibrium goes. Please provide a thorough explanation that allows for undertanding of topic.arrow_forwardNeed help understanding please help Let’s assume the initial volume of the gas is 4.80 LL , the initial temperature of the gas is 29.0 °C°C , and the system is in equilibrium with an external pressure of 1.2 bar (given by the sum of a 1 bar atmospheric pressure and a 0.2 bar pressure due to a brick that rests on top of the piston). What is the final pressure of the gas? What is the final volume of the gas? What happens with the piston after you finish heating the gas? Assume you do not need to worry about the gas cooling down again because the outside of the container is at a lower temperature. That is, you manage to keep the gas at a constant temperature that equals 54.2 °C°C What is the sign of w? What is the value of w? Be careful with units. How do you convert bar*L to J?arrow_forwardFor a neutral hydrogen atom with an electron in the n = 4 state, how many different energies are possible when a photon is emitted?arrow_forward
