    Determine the formula unit and name for the compound formed when each pair of ions interacts. In the formula, capitalization and subscripts are graded. Spelling counts. Formula Name a) Al3 + and CN - b) Mg² + and SO4² - c) Li + and (C2H3O2) - 1 d) NH4 + and Br-

    Answer:

    a) Al3 + and CN-

    Al (CN) 3

    Aluminium Cyanide

    b) Mg² + and SO4²-

    MgSO4

    Magnesium Sulfate

    c) Li + and (C2H3O2) - 1

    C2H3LiO2.

    lithium acetate

    d) NH4 + and Br-

    NH4Br.

    Ammonium bromide.

    Explanation:

    a) Al3 + and CN-

    The formula unit can be gotten when you cross multiply the charges.

    Al (CN) 3. The combination is between a cation, aluminium ion and an anion, cyanide ion. The compound is called Aluminium Cyanide.

    b) Mg² + and SO4²-

    The charges are 2 + and 2-. Divide both sides by 2, you will get 1.

    cross multiply the + 1 and - 1 charges, you will get

    MgSO4. The combination is between a magnesium ion (cation) and a sulfate ion. The compound is called Magnesium Sulfate.

    c) Li + and (C2H3O2) - 1

    The charges are cross multiplied since they have + 1 and - 1 charges,

    C2H3LiO2. It is a combination of lithium ion and acetate ion. The compound name is lithium acetate.

    d) NH4 + and Br-

    The charges are + 1 and - 1. so we cross multiply to get the formula unit as

    NH4Br. It is a combination of ammonium ion and bromine ion. The name of the compound is Ammonium bromide.
