Chapter 7, Problem 7.4PAE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Determine the chemical formulas of calcium phosphate and calcium silicate.

Concept Introduction:

The procedure for writing a chemical formula for a compound is

  • Find the symbols of the anion and the cation.
  • Find the charge or valency of the symbols and place them just above the symbols in the parenthesis.
  • Now, we need to balance the sum total of the negative and positive charges on the anion and cation. If the total negative charge and the total positive charge do not add up to zero, then find the number of each type of ion we must have for balancing the charge.
  • Once the number of units of the anion and cation has been determined, they become the subscripts. They are then placed right after the respective symbol.
