Help with name of Chemical formulas
« on: March 30, 2007, 12:00:10 PM »
Hi, I am working on some stuff and I am stuck on some formula names!

CsMno4 I have cesium with a +1 charge but I am stuck on the anion and what the charge would be?

The acid HI?  I am totally stuck on this on I need the name when it is dissolved in what or if it is a binary acid the name of the pure form?

The chem formula for silver carbonate, I got CAg2O3, is that right?

I need
magnesium dichromate  I and thing something MgCr2 and
aluminum cyanide =Al ?

Thanks for your *delete me*!!

Try looking up charges on wikipedia or google. That should help.

are you joking?
what is CAg2O3?
carbonate anion is CO32-. just add silver cation

if Cs is "+1", the anion will never be "-7". U mast have heard KMn04. so the charge of MnO4 is "-1"

dichromate anion is Cr2O72-
whenever people agree with me, I always feel I must be wrong
