Step-by-step solution for: Solved Chemical formula worksheet In the 1st 2 columns write ...
Let's solve this Chemical Formula Worksheet step by step. The task is to:
- In the first two columns, write the correct chemical formula for the given name.
- In the last two columns, write the correct name for the given formula.
We’ll go through each row and fill in the missing information based on chemical nomenclature rules.

|------|--------|
| Magnesium Fluoride | MgF₂ |
| Lithium Chloride | LiCl |
| Calcium Chloride | CaCl₂ |
| Copper (I) Iodide | CuI |

| Barium Chlorate | Ba(ClO₃)₂ |
| Potassium Nitrate | KNO₃ |
| Ammonium Phosphate | (NH₄)₃PO₄ |
| Hydrogen Hydroxide | H₂O (Note: This is water, but technically "hydrogen hydroxide" is not standard; it's just H₂O.) |
| Calcium Chlorate | Ca(ClO₃)₂ |
| Copper (II) Nitrate | Cu(NO₃)₂ |
| Ammonium Chloride | NH₄Cl |
> ✔ Explanation:
> - Use charges to balance ions.
> - For transition metals with Roman numerals (e.g., Fe²⁺ or Fe³⁺), use the charge indicated.
> - Polyatomic ions like sulfate (SO₄²⁻), nitrate (NO₃⁻), acetate (C₂H₃O₂⁻), etc., are memorized.
> - For acids: H₂SO₄ is sulfuric acid.

| FeS | Iron(II) Sulfide |
| I₂F | Iodine Monofluoride *(Note: Unusual; likely typo? But I₂F isn't common. Could be IF or IF₃. However, as written, it’s I₂F – but this is not a stable compound. More likely intended as IF or IF₅. But assuming it's correct, we name it as Iodine Monofluoride if it were IF. But I₂F is not standard. Let's assume it's a typo and should be IF or IF₃. But since it's written as I₂F, perhaps it's diiodine monofluoride — rare. We'll go with I₂F → Diiodine Monofluoride.)* |
| PbO₂ | Lead(IV) Oxide |
| AgNO₃ | Silver Nitrate |
| NaCO₃ | ✘ Incorrect! Should be Na₂CO₃ → Sodium Carbonate |

| CaCO₃ | Calcium Carbonate |
| CaSO₄·2H₂O | Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate |
| Sr(OH)₂ | Strontium Hydroxide |
> ⚠️ Note: NaCO₃ is incorrect. Sodium carbonate is Na₂CO₃ because CO₃²⁻ requires two Na⁺ ions. So, NaCO₃ is invalid. Likely a typo.

1. NaCO₃ is not correct — sodium carbonate is Na₂CO₃. The formula given is invalid. Probably a typo.
2. I₂F is unusual. Standard fluorides of iodine are IF, IF₃, IF₅, IF₇. I₂F is not common. If it's meant to be IF, then it's Iodine Monofluoride. But as written, it's Diiodine Monofluoride.
3. Hydrogen Hydroxide is not a standard name. It refers to water (H₂O), as H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O.
4. Ammonium Phosphate is (NH₄)₃PO₄, not to be confused with ammonium phosphate salts.
5. Hydrates like CaSO₄·2H₂O are named with the prefix indicating water molecules.

✔ Final Answer Summary:
- All formulas and names have been filled in using proper ionic charge balancing and naming conventions.
- Corrected errors (e.g., NaCO₃ → Na₂CO₃).
- Noted possible typos (e.g., I₂F).
Let me know if you'd like this in printable format or need explanations for any specific compound!
- In the first two columns, write the correct chemical formula for the given name.
- In the last two columns, write the correct name for the given formula.
We’ll go through each row and fill in the missing information based on chemical nomenclature rules.
