The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s go through the compounds step by step and provide the correct names and formulas along with a 300-word explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Naming and writing formulas for ionic compounds involve understanding the charges (oxidation states) of the cations and anions involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Tantalum(II) hydrogen sulfate: Ta(HSO\u2084)\u2082<\/strong> Tantalum (Ta) is a transition metal, and the Roman numeral (II) shows its +2 oxidation state. Hydrogen sulfate (HSO\u2084\u207b) is a polyatomic anion with a \u22121 charge. To balance the +2 charge of Ta\u00b2\u207a, two HSO\u2084\u207b ions are needed, resulting in the formula Ta(HSO\u2084)\u2082<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Titanium(IV) sulfite: Ti(SO\u2083)\u2082<\/strong> Titanium(IV) means Ti has a +4 charge. The sulfite ion (SO\u2083\u00b2\u207b) has a \u22122 charge. Two sulfite ions (2 \u00d7 \u22122 = \u22124) are needed to balance one Ti\u2074\u207a ion. Thus, the formula is Ti(SO\u2083)\u2082<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Titanium(II) sulfite: TiSO\u2083<\/strong> Titanium(II) indicates a +2 charge (Ti\u00b2\u207a). Sulfite (SO\u2083\u00b2\u207b) also has a \u22122 charge. Since both ions have charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign, only one of each is needed, leading to TiSO\u2083<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Tin(IV) sulfate: Sn(SO\u2084)\u2082<\/strong> Tin(IV) (Sn\u2074\u207a) and sulfate (SO\u2084\u00b2\u207b) combine such that two sulfate ions are required to balance the +4 charge of one Sn\u2074\u207a ion (2 \u00d7 \u22122 = \u22124). Hence, the correct formula is Sn(SO\u2084)\u2082<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This naming system follows IUPAC rules where transition metals require Roman numerals to indicate their oxidation states. Polyatomic ions like sulfate (SO\u2084\u00b2\u207b), sulfite (SO\u2083\u00b2\u207b), and hydrogen sulfate (HSO\u2084\u207b) retain their names and are not changed to “-ide.” Matching charges ensures that the compound is electrically neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
