Chlorine has a charge -1. It means that X is +2 so that the formula is XCl2. Group 2 is the correct answer.

Answer;

Group 2

Explanation;

-Elements in group 2 (alkaline earth metals) have a 2 valence electrons (two electrons in the outermost energy shell). Which means that for these elements to achieve an octet configuration, they will have to loose two electrons. Therefore; element X has a valency electrons, it reacts chlorine to form a compound (XCl2), since chlorine has a valency of 1.

A compound is found to contain 38.65 % carbon, 16.25 % hydrogen, and 45.09 % nitrogen by mass. what is the empirical formula for
iren [92.7K]

The molar mass of carbon is 12, hydrogen is 1, and nitrogen is 14, hence the ratio are:

 

C = 38.65 / 12 = 3.22

H = 16.25 / 1 = 16.25

N = 45.09 / 14 = 3.22

 

Divide the three by the lowest ratio which is 3.22:

 

C = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

H = 16.25 / 3.22 = 5

N = 3.22 / 3.22 = 1

 

So the empirical formula is:

CHN

Law of Conservation of Mass in terms of atoms
VARVARA [1.3K]

No atoms are lost or made during the chemical reaction so the total mass of the products is equal to the total mass of the reactants. In an atom, protons and neutrons contribute to the mass and since the number of them doesn’t change, the mass doesn’t either.
