Interpretation:
The formulas of ammonium phosphate trihydrate and potassium sulfide pentahydrate is to be written
Concept introduction:
Some chemical compounds on crystallization from water solution produce a crystal that contains water molecules as a part of their crystal structure. These water molecules of the crystals are called as water of crystallization or water of hydration. The crystal that results from the process of crystallization is referred as hydrate. Conversely, the water molecules can be driven away from the crystals by applying heat energy to afford anhydrous chemical compounds. The well-known example of a compound having water crystallization is CuSO4.5H2O. The anhydrous chemical compound CuSO4 (colorless) is combined with 5 H2O molecules on crystallization from a water solution result in hydrated CuSO4.5H2O (blue). The name of this chemical compound is denoted as copper (II) sulfate penta hydrate. In this case, the prefix ‘penta’ is usually referred as the presence of 5 molecules (water).

A binary molecular compound is one in which the compound contains only two elements (regardless of how many atoms are present of each). When naming binary molecular compounds, prefixes are used to specify the number of atoms of each element. Take a moment to review some of the prefixes shown here. Prefix Number mono di nona one three tetra four penta five hexa six hepta seven octa eight nine deca two ten For example, SF6 is named sulfur hexafluoride. Note that the prefix mono is not used in naming the first element. Also note that the second element in the name should end with the suffix ide. ▼ Part A Using the rules for naming molecular compounds described in the introduction, what is the name for the compound PC15?
