Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The formula of the compound forms when sulfate anion combines with magnesium cation should be written.

Concept Introduction:

Elements with similar electronic configurations are categorized into similar group in periodic table. So elements in the same group can form ions with similar charges. There is a relationship between the group number and the charge of the stable ion formed by an element of main group. Elements in 1A,2A and 3A forms cations with a charge equals to its group number. Elements in groups 5A,6A and 7A form anions with charge equals to (8-group number).

Charge of transition metals and some of main group elements cannot be predicted as they form more than one type of cation.

Give the name and formula of the compound formed from the following elements: (a) sodium and nitrogen; (b) oxygen and strontium; (c) aluminum and chlorine.
Some salts make hydrates when there is moisture around. Some hydrate samples can absorb lights in visible legion. Therefore, they show some colors. Thus,  hydrates can be used to  detect the moisture in the environment. Let's say you are working in a laboratory with a group and you are the only student who has taken chemistry courses. Your laboratory received a sample of cobalt(II) chloride which has the formula CoCl2·xH2O. Let's say your boss asked you to find the formula of this hydrate salt sample since you are the only chemist there. From your laboratory experience, simply explain the experimental procedure you would follow to find the formula of this unknown sample. Then, use the given data for the calculation part.  Mass of crucible: 32.27g Mass of crucible + unknown hydrate: 33.92 g Color of unknown hydrate: purple Mass of crucible + anhydrous form of hydrate: 33.41 g Color of anhydrous form: sky blue
Give the formulas of the compounds in each set: (a) lead(II)oxide and lead(IV) oxide; (b) lithium nitride, lithium nitrite, and lithium nitrate; (c) strontium hydride and strontium hydroxide;(d) magnesium oxide and manganese(II) oxide.
