Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are dealing with a compound that is a hydrate. Hydrates are compounds that have a specific number of water molecules attached to them.
. The compound is anionic compound, which means it is made up of a metal (Na) and a non-metal group (CH3).
3. The correct naming of the compound follows the rules of the IUPAC nomenclature.
STEP 2
First, we need to identify the cation (positive ion) in the compound. In this case, the cation is Sodium (Na).
STEP 3
Next, we identify the anion (negative ion) in the compound. Here, the anion is Acetate (C2H32).
STEP 4
We also need to identify the number of water molecules attached to the compound. In this case, there are3 water molecules.
STEP 5
Now, we can name the compound. The name of anionic compound is simply the name of the cation followed by the name of the anion. If the compound is a hydrate, the number of water molecules is also included in the name.
STEP 6
Plug in the names of the cation, anion, and the number of water molecules to get the name of the compound.
STEP 7
The number of water molecules is represented as a prefix in the name. The prefix for3 is "trihydrate".
STEP 8
Combine the names to get the final name of the compound.
The correct name for the compound is Sodium Acetate Trihydrate.
