Lead bromate, the empirical formula is Pb(BrO3)4. Lead sulfate, the empirical formula is PbSO4. Iron bromate, the empirical formula is Fe(BrO3)3. Iron sulfate, the empirical formula is Fe2(SO4)3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Write the empirical formula for at least four ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are four possible ionic compounds formed from the given ions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. Lead(IV) Sulfate<\/strong> \u2192 Pb(SO\u2084)\u2082<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Iron(II) Bromate<\/strong> \u2192 Fe(BrO\u2083)\u2082<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Iron(III) Sulfate<\/strong> \u2192 Fe\u2082(SO\u2084)\u2083<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Understanding Ionic Compounds:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Ionic compounds are formed by the electrostatic attraction between positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. The charge balance between these ions determines the correct empirical formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Lead(II) Bromate \u2192 Pb(BrO\u2083)\u2082<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Lead can exhibit multiple oxidation states, but in this case, it has a +2 charge (Pb\u00b2\u207a)<\/strong>. The bromate ion (BrO\u2083\u207b) carries a -1 charge<\/strong>. To balance the charges, two bromate ions are needed for every lead ion, resulting in Pb(BrO\u2083)\u2082<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Lead(IV) Sulfate \u2192 Pb(SO\u2084)\u2082<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Lead(IV) has a +4 charge (Pb\u2074\u207a)<\/strong>, while the sulfate ion (SO\u2084\u00b2\u207b) has a -2 charge<\/strong>. To balance the charge, two sulfate ions are required per lead ion, giving the formula Pb(SO\u2084)\u2082<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Iron(II) Bromate \u2192 Fe(BrO\u2083)\u2082<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Iron(II) has a +2 charge (Fe\u00b2\u207a)<\/strong>, and bromate (BrO\u2083\u207b) has a -1 charge<\/strong>. Thus, two bromate ions are needed per iron(II) ion, forming Fe(BrO\u2083)\u2082<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Iron(III) Sulfate \u2192 Fe\u2082(SO\u2084)\u2083<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Iron(III) has a +3 charge (Fe\u00b3\u207a)<\/strong>, while sulfate (SO\u2084\u00b2\u207b) has a -2 charge<\/strong>. The least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6, so two iron(III) ions (Fe\u00b3\u207a) and three sulfate ions (SO\u2084\u00b2\u207b) balance the charge, resulting in Fe\u2082(SO\u2084)\u2083<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now, let’s generate an image representing these compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
