H3O+ (sorry, no superscripts/subscripts here...)
I'm supposed to name it on a worksheet for AP Chem... the others are easy, just little compounds made from an element and a poly atomic ion, like barium sulfate. But I don't get what H3O+ is... how would you name it? (I googled, but got hydronium, which doesn't make sense)
Away.
Nevermind that, hydronium is on the back side of this sheet :-/
How about CO2(SO4)3 though? It's been a while since I took Honors Chem
Away.
That would be three hydrogen atoms and a positive Oxegen ion I think

umm Dicobalt-trisulphate? That's just a guess.
Wouldn't that be dicarbonate trisulphate?
Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

I figured the Co was cobalt rather than a carbon and an oxygen because otherwise the carbon has an oxidation state of 10+.... i'm thinking not.
I didn't bother figuring out the charges etc, and I just assumed that since he had CO for carbonate, not Co for cobalt.

Yea that's how he's written it, but it can't be. Both carbonate and sulphate are negatively charged groups, plus carbonate is CO3 not CO2.

Does it show that I haven't taken chem in a couple of years?

Good call... looking at the sheet again, perhaps that o in the Co is lowercase... it's hand written by the teacher and it REALLY looks close.
Cobalt (III) Sulfate looks right.
Away.
so what level is AP chem? Is it like highschool, or a minor at uni, or what?
AP Chem is a college-level highschool course. Basically, you take it in high school (I'm a senior), but it's taught like a college course. At the end of the year (in may) you take an exam, and colleges award you credits or placement based on how well you score on a scale of 5.
Away.
