MgThe  empirical  formula   is  calculated as follows
fin the  moles of each  element
moles =  %  composition/ molar mass

magnesium(Mg) =  72.2/24 = 3moles
Nitrogen(N) = 27.8/14  = 1.986 moles

find the  moles  ration by  dividing each mole  by the smallest mole ( 1.986 moles)

that is 

magnesium)Mg)  = 3/1.986 =  1.5
Nitrogen (N)=  1.986/1.986 =1
multiply  both  the mole  ratio to remove the decimal

magnesium (Mg) = 1.5 x2 = 3
nitrogen (N)= 1 x2 =2

therefore  the empirical formula = Mg3N2

Ba(OH)2 Ba+2 + 2 OH- (dissolved in solution). Which will NOT happen to the equilibrium of this solution as H+ ions are added? H+
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The reaction will move to the left.

Explanation:

  • For the reaction:

<em>Ba(OH)₂ = Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻,</em>

<em>Ba(OH)₂ is dissociated to Ba²⁺ and 2OH⁻.</em>

  • If H⁺ ions are added to the equilibrium:

H⁺ will combine with OH⁻ to form water.

<em>So, the concentration of OH⁻ will decrease and the equilibrium is disturbed.</em>

<em />

<em>According to Le Châtelier's principle: </em>when there is an dynamic equilibrium, and this equilibrium is disturbed by an external factor, the equilibrium will be shifted in the direction that can cancel the effect of the external factor to reattain the equilibrium.

  • So, the reaction will move to the right to suppress the effect of decreasing OH⁻ concentration.

  • The base will dissociate to form more OH⁻ and thus, the quantity of Ba(OH)₂ will decrease.

<em>So, the right choice is: the reaction will move to the left, is the choice that will not happen to the equilibrium.</em>
