Step by step solution

01

Given information (part a)

Write the correct ionic formula for the compound formed between each of the following pairs of ions:

a. Al3+and Cl-

02

Explanation (part a)

(part a) The charge on the Al3+ion is 3+while the charge on the Cl-iion is 1-. One Al3ion and three Cl-ions are used to balance the charge (3+)+3×(1-)=0. Write the positive ion first, then the negative ion in the ionic formula. AlCl3is the correct ionic formula for the chemical.

03

Given Information (part b)

Write the correct ionic formula for the compound formed between each of the following pairs of ions:

b. Ca2+and S2-

04

Explanation (part b)

The charge on the Ca2+ion is 2+while the charge on the s2ion is 2-.S2-with three Ca2+ions and two(2+)+(2-)=0ions. Write the positive ion first, then the negative ion in the ionic formula. The compound's correct ionic formula is CaS.

05

Given information (part c)

Write the correct ionic formula for the compound formed between each of the following pairs of ions:

c. Li+and S2-

06

Step  6 : Explanation (part c)

The fee for Li+ion is 1, but the fee for S2-is 2. Two Li+ions and oneS2-ions 2×(1+)+(2-)=0ions are used to balance the charge. Write the positive ion first, then the negative ion, in the ionic formula.Li2Sis the proper ionic formula for the chemical.

07

 : Given information (part d)

Write the correct ionic formula for the compound formed between each of the following pairs of ions:

d. Rb+and P3-

08

Expanation (part d)

The charge on the ion is 1+, while the charge on the p3-ionis 3-. Three Rb+ions and one P3ion are used to balance the charge 3×(1+)+(3-)=0. Write the positive ion first, then the negative ion in the ionic formula. Rb3Pis the right ionic formula for the compound.

09

Given information (part e) 

Write the correct ionic formula for the compound formed between each of the following pairs of ions:

e. Cs+and I-

10

Explanation (part e)

The fee for Cs+ion is 1+, but the fee for I-is 1. Two Cs+ions and three I-ions (1+)+(1-)=0ions are used to balance the charge ((1+)+(1-)=0$. Write the positive ion first, then the negative ion in the ionic formula. The compound's correct ionic formula isCsl
