Problem 34P
Write chemical formulas for compounds containing:
(a) one calcium atom for every two iodine atoms
(b) two nitrogen atoms for every four oxygen atoms
(c) one silicon atom for every two oxygen atoms
(d) one zinc atom for every two chlorine atoms
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1 of 3
Solution 34P
Here, we are going to write the chemical formula for the following compounds.
Chemical formula is the representation of the number of atoms present in the molecule.
one calcium atom for every two iodine atomsCa + 2 I --------> CaI2
Thus, one calcium atom and 2 iodine atoms form calcium iodide compound. The chemical formula of the molecular compound is CaI2.
(b) two nitrogen atoms for every four oxygen atoms
2N + 4 O --------> N2O4
Thus, two nitrogen atoms and 4 oxygen atoms form dinitrogen tetraoxide...
