What lead compound will form from Lead IV sulfate and tin II chlorate?

When lead (IV) sulfate reacts with tin (II) chlorate, the lead (IV) cation (Pb^4+) will combine with the chlorate anion (ClO3^-) to form lead (IV) chlorate, Pb(ClO3)4. The tin (II) cation (Sn^2+) will combine with the sulfate anion (SO4^2-) to form tin (II) sulfate, SnSO4.


An ionic compound with a polyatomic cation and polyatomic anion The atoms in the anion are all from the same group?

An example of this type of compound is ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4, where the polyatomic cation is ammonium (NH4+) and the polyatomic anion is sulfate (SO4^2-). In this case, the atoms in the sulfate anion are all from the same group in the periodic table (Group 16 or the oxygen family).


What colour is the precipitate from sulfate ions?

This depends on what the metal cation is. If the metal cation is a transition metal ion then it would be coloured, like in the case of FeSO4 which is blue/green. Many sulfates are soluble and if there is excess solvent no precipitate would be observed.


What chemical bond does potassium sulfate come under?

Potassium sulfate is held together by ionic bonds. In this type of bond, electrons are transferred from one atom (potassium in this case) to another (sulfate), leading to the attraction between the positively charged cation (potassium) and the negatively charged anion (sulfate).


What are the chemical names of SO4 and NH4?

sulfate anion SO42- the salt of sulfuric acid. ammonium cation NH4+ which is protonated ammonia.


How do you name an ion?

It must be taken into account its chemical formula. NO3- is nitrate, SO4- is sulfate, Na+ is sodium cation, etc.


What is an ionic compound consisting of a cation with 10 electrons and an oxyanion with 26 electrons?

The cation would be either sodium, magnesium or aluminium. The only oxyanion with 26 electrons is the hypochlorite ion. So the compound is sodium/magnesium/aluminium hypochlorite.
