CHEM134 C001 PRACTICE EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS | ALREADY GRADED A+RECENT VERSION 1) Ammonium chloride - answer nh₄cl 2) Magnesium chloride - answer mgcl₂ 3) Iron(iii) chlorate - answer fe(clo₃)₃ 4) Carbon dioxide - answer co₂ 5) Dihydrogen monoxide - answer h₂o 6) Dinitrogen tetroxide - answer n₂o₄ 7) Dinitrogen trioxide - answer n₂o₃ 8) Nitrogen trioxide - answer no₃ 9) Sodium chloride - answer nacl 10) How many protons and electrons are in a mg^2+cation? - answer 12p, 10e 11) Sodium ______ one electron to become a +1 cation. - answer loses. Let's go ahead and see why this makes sense. Sodium is element #11. A neutral sodium atom has 11 protons and 11 electrons. If the number of protons changes, then it wouldn't be sodium any longer.
