Naming and writing formulas of compounds

[chemzz]

Name the following :ZnI2, BrF, FeSO3, CaH2, BaHPO3,CuNO3, AgIO, SO2

write the correct formula of these: zinc sulphate, barium nitrate, gold(III)nitrate, barium chloride, mercurous nitrate, antimony(V)cloride, ferrous bromide, calcium carbonate and hydrobromic acid.


i have attempted them as aswell...
ok...so i got these...
ZnI2 - Zinc Iodide
BrF-Barium Floride
FeSO3- Iron sulphite
CaH2- Calcium hyroxide
BaHPO3-Barium hypophosphate
CuNO3- Copper Nitrate
AgIO2- Gold(II)Idoxide
SO2- Sulphide

For the formulas i got...
zinc sulphate- ZnSO3
barium nitrate-BaNO3
gold(III)sulpahte- AgSO3
barium chloride- BaCl
mercurous nitrate- i don't get this one!
antimony (V) cloride- AtCl5
ferrous bromide- FeBr
calcium carbonate- CaCO3
hydrobromic acid- HBO3

ZnI2 - Zinc Iodide
BrF-Barium Floride

What is Br the symbol for? (It's not barium)

FeSO3- Iron sulphite
CaH2- Calcium hyroxide

No, calcium hydroxide is Ca(OH)₂. The formula you are trying to name does not have the oxygen in, and so is calcium hydride.

BaHPO3-Barium hypophosphate

I'm not sure about this one.

CuNO3- Copper Nitrate

correct

AgIO2- Gold(II)Idoxide

Well, Ag is silver. To be honest, I don't know this one either!

SO2- Sulphide

That's not correct. What is CO2? Can you tell from this what SO2 is?

For the formulas i got...
zinc sulphate- ZnSO3

No. You seen to be getting confused with the oxyanions. Compounds ending in SO4 are sulphates; compounds ending in SO3 are sulphites.

barium nitrate-BaNO3

correct

gold(III)sulpahte- AgSO3

The chemical symbol for Gold is Au. Also, I'm sure the question says gold(III) nitrate. What does the III in brackets mean?

barium chloride- BaCl

No, your charges on this compound don't balance. Look at which groups each element is in in the periodic table.

mercurous nitrate- i don't get this one!

I think mercurous means the 1+ ion of mercury.

antimony (V) cloride- AtCl5

At is astatine-- check your periodic table!

ferrous bromide- FeBr

Ferrous means iron(II) ions

calcium carbonate- CaCO3

correct

hydrobromic acid- HBO3

B is no the symbol for bromine. Do you know the formula for hydrochloric acid? If so, can you get from this the formula for hydrobromic acid?[And, for the record, I'm not a chemist, and haven't taken chemistry for quite a while-- that's why I don't know the answres to some of the questions! Someone who does know them will be along soon, I'm sure!]

Barium nitrate is not BaNO3.

Chemzz, it looks like you're guessing many of these. There's a systematic way to do these that you need to learn first.

Barium nitrate is not BaNO3.

Sorry, it's not-- my bad

 

[akeber0]

Br stands for bromine and B stands for boron

 

[symbolipoint]

Barium biphosphite

hi. I'm a student that doesn't understand how to write the formulas to compounds. if you could help me, please do. thanks.
