Concept introduction:
Ionic compounds are made of cation and ions that are held together by the strong electrostatic force of attraction. Ionic compounds are classified in two categories binary ionic compound and ternary ionic compound on the basis of elements present in them. The total mass of the compound can be calculated by the sum of masses of individual elements present in it.
Answer to Problem 1ASA
The unknown compound is not carbonated salt as the loss and gain of the mass of the original compound indicates that this compound is hydrogen carbonate salt.
Explanation of Solution
The mass of the unknown compound is
The mass of the unknown compound after heating is
The mass of the decomposition product of unknown compound after converting into the chloride is
The hydrogen carbonate and carbonate compound on heating produce carbon dioxide gas. The decomposition reaction of hydrogen carbonate is shown below.
The hydrogen carbonates and carbonates lose masses on heating.
The reaction of carbonate with hydrochloric acid is shown below.
The reaction of oxide with hydrochloric acid is shown below.
The mass of the chloride is more than the mass of the oxide. One mole of hydrogen carbonate salt produces one mole of chloride salt but one mole of carbonate salt produces two moles of chloride salt. The overall decreased mass from the original compound to chloride salt is justified by hydrogen carbonate salt. Therefore, the compound is a hydrogen carbonate.
The unknown compound has hydrogen carbonate ion in it.

- The present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forward1.
