Question

Missy Mae is given an unknown white ionic solid which contains one of the cations Na+, K+, Ca2+ and one of the anions Cl-, NO3- , SO42- . Write the formulas of all of the possible ionic compounds involving the NO3- anion.

Answer 1

NaNO₃

KNO₃

Ca(NO₃)₂

Step-by-step explanation:

The possible cations for the salt. = Na⁺ , K⁺ , Ca²⁺

The anion for which the formula has to written = NO₃⁻

The salt is of white color.

The possible salts may be:

NaNO₃

KNO₃

Ca(NO₃)₂

Missy Mae can have one of these salts.

The color of NaNO₃ is from transparent to white.

The color of KNO₃ is white.

The color of NaNO₃ is from white to light grey.
