AI Thread Summary
To identify the names of the molecules listed, a basic understanding of chemistry is essential. The compounds include C3H8, which is known as propane; SO3, commonly referred to as sulfur trioxide; F2, which is diatomic fluorine; and KBr, identified as potassium bromide. The discussion highlights that while there are specific rules for naming chemical compounds, resources such as IUPAC nomenclature guides, textbooks, or online databases can provide further assistance. Engaging in a general chemistry course is recommended for a foundational understanding of these concepts.

how can i know what the names of the molecules in this list:C3H8. SO3, F2, KBr


(the numbers need to be little)

thanks.

You just need to learn Chemistry. This type of stuff is covered in any basic General Chemistry course. You can try looking up IUPAC nomenclature but if you have no foundation in Chemistry it may be a lot to really absorb.

C3H8 - Propane
SO3 is a sulfite anion and should have a -2 charge.
F2 is just diatomic flourine
KBr is Potassium Bromide

There are lots of rules for naming compounds and going into them on a forum is not something I'm really willing to spend my time doing. I'm sure you can google some stuff but its probably best to just get a book or take a class.
 
yes that truth.

but still thanks about ur help.

Why not just sulfur trioxide?

well maybe there is website that give the name of compounds ?
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
