Why the is ratio of magnesium ions to chloride ions in MgCl2 is 1:2?

Chemistry

Monica [59]3 years ago

You should read up on Proust's law, better known as the Law of Definite Proportions. This is a chemical law that defines your question more generally, on why the ratio of elements and ions are always fixed.

Basically, this compound Magnesium(II) Chloride is MgCl2 because it has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons all the way. This defines the properties of the compound or atom.

Calculate the equilibrium number of vacancies per cubic meter for copper at 1000K. The energy for vacancy formation is 0.9eV/ato
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Therefore the equilibrium number of vacancies per unit cubic meter =2.34×10²⁴ vacancies/ mole

Explanation:

The equilibrium number of of vacancies is denoted by N_v.

It is depends on

  • total no. of atomic number(N)
  • energy required for vacancy
  • Boltzmann's constant (k)= 8.62×10⁻⁵ev K⁻¹
  • temperature (T).

N_v=Ne^{-\frac{Q_v}{kT} }

To find  equilibrium number of of vacancies we have find N.

N=\frac{N_A\ \rho}{A_{cu}}

Here ρ= 8.45 g/cm³  =8.45 ×10⁶m³

N_A= Avogadro Number = 6.023×10²³

A_{Cu}= 63.5 g/mole

N=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 8.45\times 10^{6}}{63.5}

   =8.01\times 10^{28 g/mole

Here Q_v=0.9 ev/atom , T= 1000k

Therefore the equilibrium number of vacancies per unit cubic meter,

N_v=( 8.01\times 10^{28}) e^{-(\frac{0.9}{8.62\times10^{-5}\times 1000})

   =2.34×10²⁴ vacancies/ mole

Help lol sorry if I’m spamming this is just really hard for me
galben [10]
It’s true:)
The subscript on chemical equations tells you how many atoms the elements have. If there is no subscript then there is only 1 atom.

Name:
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

1. 505g is the mass of the aluminium.

2. The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

1. To solve this question we need to find the volume of the rectangle. With the volume and density we can find the mass of the solid:

Volume = 7.45cm*4.78cm*5.25cm

Volume = 187cm³

Mass:

187cm³ * (2.702g/cm³) = 505g is the mass of the aluminium

2. When the temperature of a liquid increases, the volume increases doing the density decreases because density is inversely proportional to volume. And works in the same way for gases because the temperature produce more collisions and the increasing in volume.

Colligative property definition chemistry
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: Colligative properties are those properties of solutions that are dependent on the concentration of the solutes in the solution.

Colligative properties has to do with solutions, that is, solutes that are dissolved in solvents. Examples of colligative properties are: freezing point depression, vapour pressure lowering, boiling point elevation and osmotic pressure. Colligative properties do not depend on the identity of the solutes, this implies that the effect of colligative properties are uniform across all solutions. For example, the freezing point depression of any solution will depend on the concentration of solutes that are dissolve in solution.

Why are nanowhiskers used to repel stains on fabrics??
WINSTONCH [101]

Nanowhiskers or cellulose nanofibers are nano-structured cellulose produced by bacteria. They have relatively high crystallinity and ability to form a dense network held together by inter-fibrillar bonds that has the tendency to act as a barrier through their film-forming properties to which they can repel stains on fabric.
