Hello!
When finding the chemical formula of a compound, we will need to find the charges of each element/bond.
Looking at our period table, sodium has a +1 charge, written as Na 1+, and sulfate has a charge of -2, and it is written as SO4 2-.
Now, we need to make the charges equivalent. To do this, we need to "criss-cross" the charges. This means that sodium will need to additional atoms to make the charges equal, and sulfate will need one.
Therefore, the chemical formula for sodium sulfate is: Na2SO4.
Answer:
3.59x10^21 molecules
Explanation:
1mole of a substance contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.
Therefore, 1mole of C8H18 will also contain 6.02x10^23 molecules
1mole of C8H18 = (12x8) +(18x1) = 96 + 18 = 114g.
1mole (i.e 114g) oh C8H18 contains 6.02x10^23 molecules.
Therefore, 0.68g of C8H18 will contain = (0.68 x 6.02x10^23)/114 = 3.59x10^21 molecules
Given equation:
P + O2 → P2O5
In order for the equation to be balanced, the stoichiometry of the atoms of one kind on the reactant side must be equal to that on the product
Reactants Products
P = 1 P = 2
O = 2 O = 5
The balanced equation would be:
4P + 5O2 → 2P2O5
Reactants Products
P = 4 P = 4
O = 10 O = 10
Ans: D)
Simple. The atomic number is the number of protons (12) and the mass number is the number of neutrons and protons combined. So you'd subtract 12 from 25 (25-12=) and that'd get you 13 as your answer. If you need to find the number of electrons, it'll be the same as the number of protons unless it has a certain charge and if it does, if it's positive it has more protons (+) than electrons (-), if it is negative it has more electrons (- negatively charged) than protons (+ positively charged)
