Concept Introduction:
The steps involved to name a molecular compound are as follows:
First, identify that the given compound involves the combination of two non-metals or a non-metal and a metalloid.
Identify the
Start the name with the name of the first element in the compound.
If more than one atom is present, use prefixes as di, tri, and tetra.
Then, state the root name of the second element with a proper suffix.
The naming representation for an acid starts with ‘hydro’ as the prefix followed by the name of the metal or non-metal with the use of ‘ic’ as a suffix.

- Which of these statements are qualitative? Which are quantitative? Explain your choice in each case. (a) Sodium is a silvery-white metal. (b) Aluminum melts at 660 C. (c) Carbon makes up about 23% of the human body by mass. (d) Pure carbon occurs in different forms: graphite, diamond, and fullerenes.arrow_forwardOver coffee and croissants at breakfast one day, your friend Jane (an expert chemist) says this: "Metal sulfides react with strong acids to produce hydrogen sulfide and a salt." Using Jane's statement, and what you already know about chemistry, predict the products of the following reaction. Be sure your chemical equation is balanced! Nis (s) + HCl(aq) → 0 ローロ 0+0 X C READarrow_forward9. When a candle has been burning for an hour, its mass is less than it was at the beginning. (a) How is it possible for the candle to lose mass without violating the law of conservation of mass? (b) How might you find the mass of the missing material? 14. Hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc. The chemical equation for this reaction is Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → H2(g) + ZnCl2(aq) a) Classify this reaction. (b) Name the product that forms bubbles in this reaction. How do you know? c) How does the mass of zinc metal change as the reaction proceeds? d) What does the (aq) symbol in the equation mean? 24. Consider this chemical equation: Zn + 2 AgNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + 2 Ag a) How many atoms of zinc are on the left side of the equation? How many are on the right? (b) How many atoms of silver are on the left side of the equation? How many are on the right? (c) Is the equation balanced? Explain. 25.How are coefficients different from subscripts in equations? 30. Consider this neutralization reaction: HCl +…arrow_forward
- Predicting the reactants of a neutralization reaction Predict the reactants of this chemical reaction. That is, fill in the left side of the chemical equation. Be sure the equation you submit is balanced. (You can edit both sides of the equation to balance it, if you need to.) Note: you are writing the molecular, and not the net ionic equation. [] + KCIO(aq) + H,O(1) X ロー Śarrow_forwardAn alloy contains 10.8 % titanium by mass and has a density of 13.98 g/cm3. Titanium-49 has an isotopic abundance 6.82 %. Calculate the volume (cm3) of alloy required that contains 8,926,980,280,926,177,000,000 atoms of titanium-49. Submit your answer with no units and to two decimal places.arrow_forwardOne way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq) 3 AgCl(s) + Fe(NO3),(a9) The chemist adds 56.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 2.8 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. mg L Submit Assignment Continue Accessibility Privacy O 2020 McGraw-Hill Education. All Rights Reserved.

- Images attached show lead solid in aqueous hydrochloric acid. After looking at the images cite macroscopic evidence that supports that this is a chemical change. Next, cite microscopic evidence to support that this is a chemical change. If a chemical change occurred, write the product formulas after the arrow.

Pyrite (FeS2) can be leached by oxygen in sulfuric acid solution to form ferric sulfate. Write the balanced chemical reaction in ionic and neutral forms and include the phases of the reactants and products.arrow_forward
- The maximum contaminant level of fluoride (F−)(F−) in drinking water as set by the the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is 0.0040 g⋅L−10.0040 g⋅L−1. Express this concentration in parts per million (ppm). Assume the density of water is 1.00 g/mL1.00 g/mL.arrow_forwardThe density of gold metal is 19.3 g/cm3, while that for silver is 10.5 g/cm3. Suppose you had the same size bar of each metal, with the dimensions 2.00 in x 10.0 cm x 760 mm. Volume of a cube is height x length x width. Which bar would have the greatest mass? Which bar contains the greater number of atoms? If the two bars were melted and mixed together to form an alloy (or mixture) what would be the total mass?arrow_forwardWrite a balanced chemical equation for each of the following.Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer. 1) Solid lead(II) sulfide reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to form solid lead(II) chloride and dihydrogen sulfide gas. 2) Gaseous carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form gaseous methane (CH4) and liquid water. 3) Solid iron(III) oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form solid iron and liquid water. 4) Gaseous ammonia (NH3) reacts with gaseous oxygen to form gaseous nitrogen monoxide and gaseous water.arrow_forward
