(2) three fewer valence electrons is your answer.
Answer:
Explanation:
If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.
Mass of Mg = 10.89 g
Mass of Cl = 31.77 g
Mass of O = 57.34 g
Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.
Moles of Mg=
Moles of Cl = 
Moles of O =
Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For Mg = 
For Cl = 
For O= 
The ratio of Mg :Cl : O= 1 : 2 : 8
Hence the empirical formula is
It allows to test a inference, and analyze data to determine if the inference of the observation was correct.
For which of the following conversions does the value of the conversion factor depend upon the formula of the substance?
The answer is C
