Answer: -

Magnesium reacts very slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂

Explanation: -

Chemical symbol of magnesium = Mg

Chemical formula for magnesium hydroxide = Mg(OH)₂

Chemical formula for hydrogen gas = H₂

The other reactant with Mg must be water H₂O.

Thus the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂

What is the correct formula for combining Mg2+ and Br1+
True [87]

Answer: The correct formula is MgBr_2

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Here magnesium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as Mg^{2+} cation and bromine Br^{-} is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral MgBr_2.

The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

The idea that the earth is divided into a number of small plates that float on the mantle and slide,collide,and slip past each o
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Theories

Explanation:

It is theories because it was a generalistee abstract or thinking generalising the principle of fact about Earth tectonic plates ,it was formulated and concluded as plate tectonic theories after many findings. The theories conclude that the Earth has an outer layer called lithosphere and lies overly a plastic layer called asthenosphere. The lithosphere is divided into several plates and they move close to each other where they diverge, converge or slip over one another.

An acetate buffer solution is prepared by combining 50. mL of 0.20 M acetic acid,
natima [27]

Answer:

The answer is "Option B".

Explanation:

\to CH_3COOH + NaOH \longleftrightarrow  CH_3COONa + H_2O\\\\\to CH_3COONa + NaOH\longleftrightarrow CH3COONa\\\\\therefore \ mol\  NaOH = (5 \ E-3\  L)\times(0.10 \ \frac{mol}{L}) = 5 \ E-4\ mol\\\\

\to mol\ CH_3COOH = (0.05 \ L)\times(0.20 \frac{mol}{L}) = 0.01 \ mol\\\\\to C \ CH_3COOH = \frac{(0.01 \ mol - 5 \ E-4\ mol) }{(0.105 \ L)}\\\\\to C \ CH_3COOH = 0.0905 \ M\\\\\therefore \ mol \ CH_3COONa = (0.05\  L )\times (0.20 \ \frac{mol}{L}) = 0.01 \ mol\\\\

\to C \ CH_3COONa =  \frac{(0.01\  mol + 5 \ E-4\  mol)}{(0.105\ L )}\\\\\to C \ CH_3COONa = 0.1 \ M\\\\\therefore Ka = ([H_3O^{+}]\times \frac{(0.1 + [H_3O^+]))}{(0.0905 - [H_3O^+])} = 1.75\ E-5\\\\\to 0.1[H_3O^+] + [H_3O^+]^2 = (1.75 E-5)\times (0.0905 - [H_3O^+])\\\\

\to [H_3O^+]^2 \ 0.1[H_3O^+] = 1.584\  E-6 - 1.75\  E-5[H_3O^+]\\\\\to [H_3O^+]^2 + 0.1000175[H_3O^+] - 1.584 \ E-6 = 0\\\\\to  [H_3O^+] = 1.5835\  E-5 \ M\\\\\therefore pH = - \log [H_3O^+]\\\\\to  pH = - \log (1.5835 \ E-5)\\\\ \to pH = 4.8004 > 4.7
