In which of the examples is there an error in either the name OR the formula?
silver(I) nitrate -AgNO3 correct
iron(III) oxide - Fe2O3 correct
sodium bicarbonate - Na2HCO3 - incorrect.
calcium phosphate - CaPO3 in correct.
rubidium phosphate - Rb3PO4 correct.
strontium sulfide - SrSO3 - correct.
silver(I) nitrate -AgNO3 correct ok
iron(III) oxide - Fe2O3 correct ok
sodium bicarbonate - Na2HCO3 - incorrect. OK. NaHCO3 is the correct formula. The newer name is sodium hydrogen carbonate
calcium phosphate - CaPO3 in correct. No. The correct formula is Ca3(PO4)2
rubidium phosphate - Rb3PO4 correct. OK
strontium sulfide - SrSO3 - correct. No. SrS. You wrote the formula for strontium sulfite
Thanks Drbob.
To determine which of the examples has an error in either the name or the formula, we need to analyze each compound individually.
1. Silver(I) nitrate - AgNO3 (Correct): The compound AgNO3 correctly represents silver(I) nitrate.
2. Iron(III) oxide - Fe2O3 (Correct): The compound Fe2O3 correctly represents iron(III) oxide.
3. Sodium bicarbonate - Na2HCO3 (Incorrect): The formula Na2HCO3 represents sodium bicarbonate correctly, but the name should be sodium hydrogen carbonate, not sodium bicarbonate.
4. Calcium phosphate - CaPO3 (Incorrect): The formula CaPO3 is incorrect for calcium phosphate. The correct formula should be Ca3(PO4)2.
5. Rubidium phosphate - Rb3PO4 (Correct): The formula Rb3PO4 correctly represents rubidium phosphate.
6. Strontium sulfide - SrSO3 (Correct): The formula SrSO3 correctly represents strontium sulfide.
Therefore, the compounds with errors in either the name or the formula are sodium bicarbonate (Na2HCO3) and calcium phosphate (CaPO3).
