Expert verified
(a) Sodium Chromate, (b) Potassium Hydrogen Phosphate, (c) Hydrogen Bromide(d) Hydrobromic acid, (e) Lithium Carbonate, (f) Potassium Dichromate, (g) Ammonium Nitrite, (h) Phosphorus Trifluoride, (i) Phosphorus Pentafluoride, (j) Tetraphosphorus Hexoxide, (k) Cadmium Iodide, (l) Strontium Sulfate, (m) Aluminium Hydroxide, (n) Sodium Carbonate Decahydrate.

Step by step solution

01

Naming the Ionic Compounds

Name the first ion, then the second. For (a) Na2CrO4, it's Sodium Chromate. Compound (b) K2HPO4 is named Potassium Hydrogen Phosphate. For (e) Li2CO3, it's Lithium Carbonate. The compound (f) K2Cr2O7 is named Potassium Dichromate. Compound (g) NH4NO2, is Ammonium Nitrite. The compound (i) SrSO4 is named Strontium Sulfate. Compound (j) Al(OH)3 is named Aluminium Hydroxide. And finally, for (m) Na2CO3 · 10 H2O, it's Sodium Carbonate Decahydrate.
02

Naming the Molecular Compounds

When naming molecular compounds, use prefixes to indicate the number of atoms, if it's greater than one. For (d) HBr (gas), it's named Hydrogen Bromide. For (h) PF3, it's named Phosphorus Trifluoride. Compound (i) PF5 is named Phosphorus Pentafluoride. For (k) P4O6, it's Tetraphosphorus Hexoxide. And finally, for (l) CdI2, it's named Cadmium Iodide.
03

Naming the Acid

Acids are special cases. For (d) HBr in water, it becomes an acid and is named Hydrobromic acid.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Fluorine reacts with hydrogen \((\mathrm{H})\) and with deuterium (D) to form hydrogen fluoride (HF) and deuterium fluoride (DF) [deuterium \(\left({ }_{1}^{2} \mathrm{H}\right.\) ) is an isotope of hydrogen]. Would a given amount of fluorine react with different masses of the two hydrogen isotopes? Does this violate the law of definite proportions? Explain.

List the elements that exist as gases at room temperature. (Hint: All except one element can be found in Groups \(5 \mathrm{~A}, 6 \mathrm{~A}, 7 \mathrm{~A},\) and \(8 \mathrm{~A} .)\)

What are the empirical formulas of the following compounds? (a) \(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{~N}_{2}\), (b) \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6}\) (c) \(\mathrm{C}_{9} \mathrm{H}_{20},\) (d) \(\mathrm{P}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{10},(\mathrm{e}) \mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}\)

Some compounds are better known by their common names than by their systematic chemical names. Consult a handbook, a dictionary, or your instructor for the chemical formulas of these substances: (a) dry ice, (b) table salt, (c) laughing gas, (d) marble (chalk, limestone), (e) quicklime, (f) slaked lime, (g) baking soda, (h) milk of magnesia.

Give an example of each of the following: (a) a monatomic cation, (b) a monatomic anion, (c) a polyatomic cation, (d) a polyatomic anion.
