Grade 10 Chemistry Review — Naming and Balancing (Chapter 4.2 & 4.3 Practice Test)

You've got the Chapter 4.2 and 4.3 practice test in front of you, twenty-eight marks of naming compounds and balancing equations.

0:00 / 15:40
Two hosts work straight through the Chapter 4.2 and 4.3 practice test — all thirteen multiple-choice questions and both written-response parts — one question at a time, with the rule behind each answer and a hook to keep it. The questions and the answers come from the practice test and its answer key on Mr Schmitt's Science 10 site 12.

What this episode covers

  • Questions 1 to 3 — ionic or covalent. Nickel is the multivalent element, because the data sheet gives it two charges. BeBr2 is beryllium bromide: an ionic name takes no prefixes and no Roman numeral, since beryllium has only one charge. SiO2 is silicon dioxide: a covalent name counts the atoms with prefixes, and the single atom in front takes no mono.
  • Questions 4 to 8 — prefixes, Roman numerals, polyatomic ions. K3P is potassium phosphide, N2O3 is dinitrogen trioxide, and PbCl2 is lead (II) chloride, because two chlorides force lead to 2+. NaNO2 is sodium nitrite, the -ite with one oxygen fewer than nitrate, and diphosphorus trisulphide is P2S3, where the prefixes become the subscripts.
  • Questions 9 to 12 — names back into formulas. Manganese (III) oxide is Mn2O3, made by crossing the 3+ and the 2− over. Potassium phosphite is K3PO3, because phosphite is the polyatomic ion PO33−. CO is carbon monoxide: mono never leads a covalent name, and the vowel drops out of monoxide. CuCl2 is ionic, KNO3 polyatomic, and CCl4 covalent.
  • Question 13 — the coefficients. 2K3PO4 + 3ZnSO4 → 3K2SO4 + Zn3(PO4)2 balances as 2, 3, 3, 1, with the polyatomic groups balanced as blocks.
  • Written part — seven names and formulas. Silver phosphide Ag3P; ammonium nitrite NH4NO2; manganese (II) sulphide MnS; copper (II) chloride CuCl2; nitrogen tribromide NBr3; lead (II) perchlorate Pb(ClO4)2; dichlorine monoxide Cl2O.
  • Written part — six equations to balance. 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2; 2BiCl3 + 3H2S → Bi2S3 + 6HCl; 2C2H6 + 7O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O; Pb(NO3)2 + K2CrO4 → PbCrO4 + 2KNO3; Fe2O3 + 3H2 → 3H2O + 2Fe; Al4C3 + 12H2O → 3CH4 + 4Al(OH)3.
