<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u><em>According to formula, magnesium gives electron forming a cation which is the property of metals according to periodic table.</em></u>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Mg has a valency of two electrons which means it has two electron in the valence shell. It gives two electrons to an oxygen atom which becomes a anion.
  • They form two ionic bond forming MgO.
  • And the atoms of valency two are present in 2nd column which contains metals.
  • Hence from formula, it can be known that Mg is a metal.

when 5.60g of an iron oxide is heated with carbon, 3.92g of iron is produced. calculate the empirical formula of the iron oxide
svetlana [45]

Answer:  Fe2O3

Explanation:

  5.60 g Iron Oxide

-  3.92 g Iron

===========

=  1.68 g Oxygen

Convert Fe and O to moles:

3.92 g Iron/55.85 = 0.0702 moles Fe

1.68 g Oxygen/16 = 0.105 moles O

The ratio of O to Fe is 1.50.  There are 3/2 O for each Fe.  Multiply by 2 to get whole numbers:  2Fe for every 3O:  Fe2O3
