Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Chemical Formulas

We need to write the chemical formulas for the given compounds. Each compound's name provides clues about its composition and the ratio of its constituent elements.

Step 2: Write the Formula for Sodium Carbonate

Sodium carbonate consists of sodium (Na) and carbonate (CO$_3$). Sodium has a charge of +1, and carbonate has a charge of -2. To balance the charges, we need two sodium ions for every carbonate ion.

\[ \text{Sodium carbonate: } \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \]

Step 3: Write the Formula for Nitrogen Dioxide

Nitrogen dioxide consists of one nitrogen (N) atom and two oxygen (O) atoms.

\[ \text{Nitrogen dioxide: } \text{NO}_2 \]

Step 4: Write the Formula for Aluminum Nitrate

Aluminum nitrate consists of aluminum (Al) and nitrate (NO$_3$). Aluminum has a charge of +3, and nitrate has a charge of -1. To balance the charges, we need three nitrate ions for every aluminum ion.

\[ \text{Aluminum nitrate: } \text{Al(NO}_3\text{)}_3 \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} \text{a. Sodium carbonate: } & \text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \\ \text{b. Nitrogen dioxide: } & \text{NO}_2 \\ \text{c. Aluminum nitrate: } & \text{Al(NO}_3\text{)}_3 \\ \end{aligned} } \]

Explain the difference in the results of (a) and (c). The sample size in ( c ) is greater than the sample size in (a), so the standard error of the mean (or the standard deviation of the sampling distribution) in (c) is less than in (a). As the standard error increases, values become more concentrated around the mean. Therefore, the probability that the sample mean will fall close to the population mean will always decrease when the sample size increases.
