(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical formulas for the compound formed from ions
Concept Introduction:
Chemical formulas and names for ionic compounds containing polyatomic ions:
Ionic compounds containing positive and negative charges present must add to zero.
If more than one polyatomic ion is present in a compound, the chemical formula can be written as a polyatomic ion is enclosed in parentheses and a subscript, placed outside of the parentheses. Example-
Sometimes same element is present at two different locations. For example,

- 3.118 Consider common sugars such as glucose (C6H12O6) and sucrose (C12H22O11). What type of chemical bonding would you expect to find in these chemicals?arrow_forwardThere are two binary compounds of mercury and oxygen. Heating either of them results in the decomposition of the compound, with oxygen gas escaping into the atmosphere while leaving a residue of pure mercury. Heating 0.6498 g of one of the compounds leaves a residue of 0.6018 g. Heating 0.4172 g of the other compound results in a mass loss of 0.016 g. Determine the empirical formula of each compound.arrow_forward
