(b)
Interpretation:
The chemical formula of the ionic compound cupric sulfate needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
When the number of electrons increases or decreases from the atomic number, ions are formed. Cation is a positively charged ion formed by losing electron/s and anion is a negatively charged ion formed by gaining electron/s. While writing name of the ionic compounds, the name of cation is always written first followed by the name of the anion. In order to form an ionic compound, the cation and anion combine in such a way that the total charge is zero.

Write the formula of calcium carbonate.arrow_forwardSome salts make hydrates when there is moisture around. Some hydrate samples can absorb lights in visible legion. Therefore, they show some colors. Thus, hydrates can be used to detect the moisture in the environment. Let's say you are working in a laboratory with a group and you are the only student who has taken chemistry courses. Your laboratory received a sample of cobalt(II) chloride which has the formula CoCl2·xH2O. Let's say your boss asked you to find the formula of this hydrate salt sample since you are the only chemist there. From your laboratory experience, simply explain the experimental procedure you would follow to find the formula of this unknown sample. Then, use the given data for the calculation part.
