John Dalton, an English chemist
Alkaline earth metal are the elements present in II group in the periodic table and are known as 'Metals' and have a charge of +2.
Alkaline earth metals - Be , Mg Ca, Sr , Ba, Ra
Halogens are present in VII A group in the periodic table and are 'Non-metals' and have a charge of -1.
Halogens - F, Cl, Br, I, At
When Alkaline earth metal (metals) combine with Halogens (non-metals) the compound formed will be ionic compound and the formula of the compound will be based on the charges of the element.
When we write the formula of the ionic compound the charges of the elements get criss crossed.
For example - Mg (Alkaline earth metal) have a charge of +2 and Cl (Halogen) have a charge of -1 and when they combine to form the formula their charges get criss crossed and we will get
or 
When an alkaline earth metal, A, reacts with a halogen, X, the formula of the Ionic compound formed should be 
Answer:
The minimum volume of the container is 0.0649 cubic meters, which is the same as 64.9 liters.
Explanation:
Assume that ethane behaves as an ideal gas under these conditions.
By the ideal gas law,
,
.
where
is the pressure of the gas,
is the volume of the gas,
is the number of moles of particles in this gas,
is the ideal gas constant, and
is the absolute temperature of the gas (in degrees Kelvins.)
The numerical value of
will be
if
,
, and
are in SI units. Convert these values to SI units:
;
shall be in cubic meters,
;
.
Apply the ideal gas law:
