Give the systematic name from the given formula:K 2 Cr 2 O 7 ∙ 3 H 2 O

Give the systematic name from the given formula k2cr2073h20. Alright. So if we take a look at the ionic compound, it's made up of potassium. Potassium is in group 1 a, so it has only one charge, plus 1. As a result of this, it does not require a Roman numeral. Remember, Roman numerals are when we have multiple charges for our metal, So it's just potassium. Then cr 207, remember, CR 2072 minus is our dichromate ion. So we have potassium with dichromate. So potassium dichromate would be the name of our ionic compound. Now we have to figure out what's the name of our hydrate. We have 3 water molecules, so that would be tri for 3, and then water would just be hydrate. So the name of our ionic hydrate here would be potassium dichromate trihydrate.

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the chemical formula given: K2Cr2O7 ∙ 3 H2O. This represents a compound with potassium (K), dichromate (Cr2O7), and water molecules (H2O).

Recognize that K2Cr2O7 is known as potassium dichromate. The 'di-' prefix indicates two chromium atoms in the dichromate ion (Cr2O7).

Note the presence of '∙ 3 H2O' in the formula, which indicates that the compound is a hydrate. Specifically, it contains three water molecules, hence the term 'trihydrate'.

Combine the names of the components: The systematic name is formed by combining the name of the ionic compound (potassium dichromate) with the number of water molecules (trihydrate).

Verify the systematic name: The correct systematic name for the compound K2Cr2O7 ∙ 3 H2O is 'potassium dichromate trihydrate', as it accurately reflects the composition and structure of the compound.
