Question

Given the ion C2O4-2- , what species would you expect to form with each of the following ions?1. K+ _____2. Cu2+_____3. Bi3+_____4. Pb4+______5. NH4+______6. H+______

Answer 1

Answer:

1. K₂C₂O₄

2. CuC₂O₄.

3. Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃

4. Pb(C₂O₄)₂.

5. (NH₄)₂C₂O₄

6. H₂C₂O₄

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the oxidation states are exchanged according to the naming rules, the resulting species are shown below:

1. K₂C₂O₄

2. CuC₂O₄ (here, the +2 of copper and -2 of C₂O₄, are simplified).

3. Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃

4. Pb(C₂O₄)₂ (here, the +4 of lead and -2 of C₂O₄, are simplified).

5. (NH₄)₂C₂O₄

6. H₂C₂O₄

Regards.
