What are the chemical formulas of carbon dioxide and carbonate?
Carbon dioxide = CO2. Carbonate = MeCO3 (Me is the cation)
What is a ternary compound whose cation is in group IIA and has 18 electrons?
Use this information to help with naming Ternary Ionic Compounds.How do you write a formula for a TERNARY ionic compound?Definitionput the polyatomic ion in PARENTHESES!switch the charges of the cation and anionplace the charge of the anion OUTSIDE the parentheses if needed!Example: Ba+2 (SO4)-2Ba(SO4)Then, use in information given about the anion (SO4 in the above example) to help you figure out which cation you're working with. Since the question states that the cation is in group 2A and has 18 electrons. If this question tells you that the anion contains only carbon and oxygen and has a 2- charge, then you know that the cation is going to have a 2+ charge (to make it even/neutral). So, this has to be Ca(CO3) aka calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate can be found in antacids and chalk, and is also a component of sea shells.
Is lithium cation or anion?

What is the total number of ions present in iron carbonate?
Iron carbonate (FeCO3) contai the cation Fe2+ and the anion (CO3)2-.
Is there any cation present in calcium carbonate and sulphuric acid combination?
Calcium carbonate contains Ca2+ cation and sulfuric acid contains H+(aq) cations. When they react CaCO3 + H2SO4 -> CO2 +CaSO4 +H2O
What is nico3?

How is copper carbonate an ionic bond?
The ionic bond is formed between Cu2+ cation and CO32- anion.
What compound is formed when carbonate salts react with acids?
If the acid is strong enough, carbon dioxide is evolved as a gas and a salt corresponding to the cation of the carbonate and the anion of the acid is formed.
