Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given compounds correct representation of diagramhas to be chosen.

Explanation of Solution

To choose: Correct representation of diagram for given compounds.

Given,

Ca3(PO4)2,Li2CO3,FeCl2andMgSO4

General Chemistry: Atoms First, Chapter 3, Problem 3.29CP

Figure 1

Consider red sphere as cation and blue sphere as anion.

Ca3(PO4)2:

The ratio of cation (Ca2+) and anion (PO43- ) is 3:2. There are 18 red sphere and 12 blue spheres are in diagram d which means they are in 3:2. Hence, Ca3(PO4)2 matches diagram d.

Li2CO3:

The ratio of cation (Li+) and anion (CO32- ) is 2:1. There are 12 red sphere and 6 blue spheres are in diagram b which means they are in 2:1. Hence, Li2CO3 matches diagram b.

MgSO4:

The ratio of cation (Mg2+) and anion (SO42- ) is 1:1.  There are 12 red sphere and 12 blue spheres are in diagram a which means they are in 1:1. Hence, MgSO4 matches diagram a.

FeCl2:

The ratio of cation (Fe+) and anion (Cl- ) is 1:2. There are 6 red sphere and 12 blue spheres are in diagram c which means they are in 1:2. Hence, FeCl2 matches diagram c.

Conclusion

For the given compounds correct representation of diagram was chosen.
