(a)
Interpretation:
Compound
Concept Introduction:
Binary molecular compounds are named by using the elements present in it and the number of atoms present in a molecule.
Rules for naming molecular compounds:
- First element name is written as such that is followed by the name of the second element in which the suffix is changed to –ide.
- Greek prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element that is present. Generally prefix mono- is ignored.

(e)
Interpretation:
Compound
Concept Introduction:
Ionic compounds are named considering the cation and anion present in it. The cation part is written first followed by the anion part.
Rules for naming ionic compounds:
- The cation and anion present in the ionic compound has to be identified. Oxidation number of the cation has to be decided in order to cancel the charge of the negative anions.
- Cation is named first. In case, if the metal belongs to
transition metals , then the oxidation number is shown using Roman numeral and entered in parenthesis. - Anion has to be named next. If monoatomic anion is present, then the element name is ended with –ide. If an oxoanion is present then suffix –ate is added for the ion that has large number of oxygen atoms and suffix –ite is added for the ion that has less number of oxygen atoms. If the element can form a series of four oxoanions, then for the oxoanion having the less number of oxygen atoms, prefix hypo- is added and prefix per- is added if the oxoanion contains highest number of oxygen atoms.
- If water molecule is present in the formula of the ionic compound, then the word hydrate is added along with the Greek prefix that correspond to the number of water molecules present in it.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Given that the density of argon is 1.78 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, how many argon atoms are present in a room with dimensions 4.0 m 5.0 m 2.4 m that is filled with pure argon under these conditions of temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardThe present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forwardFulgurites are the products of the melting that occurs when lightning strikes the earth. Microscopic examination of a sand fulgurite shows that it is a globule with variable composition that contains some grains of the definite chemical composition Fe 46.01%, Si 53.99%. Determine the empirical formula of these grains.arrow_forward
- The compound As2I4 is synthesized by reaction of arsenic metal with arsenic triiodide.

(Assume that all the mercury from the fish ends up as mercury (II) chloride in the body and that a fatal dose is 0.20 g of HgCl2.) How many pounds of fish is this?arrow_forwardChalky, white crystals in mineral collections are often labeled borax, which has the molecular formula Na2B4O7 10H2O, when actually they are partially dehydrated samples with the molecular formula Na2B4O7 5H2O, which is more stable under the storage conditions. Real crystals of borax are colorless and transparent. (a) Calculate the percent mass that the mineral has lost when it partially dehydrates. (b) Is the percent boron by mass the same in both compounds?arrow_forward
