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.

What is the formula for this ionic crystal?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Al₄O₅

Explanation:

    The key at the bottom tells us the blue spheres are oxygen atoms and the red spheres are aluminum atoms. By counting, there are 4 aluminum atoms and 5 oxygen atoms. Therefore, the formula is Al₄O₅.

A student checks the air in her bicycle tires early in the morning when it is cool outside. If she measures it again later in th
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

She will observe that the pressure on the tire is higher.

Explanation:

By the ideal gas law, the pressure and the temperature are directly proportional, so, if the temperature increases the pressure increases too:

PV = nRT (P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature).

The temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, so when the temperature increases, the energy also increases, and the gas molecules will move more quickly, so they will collide more often between themselves and in the wall. Those collisions will be with more force because the velocity is higher.

So, the pressure will be higher, because it is the result of collisions of the gas molecules with the walls of the tire.

How many oxygen atoms are present in 23.6 grams of aspartame?
olga55 [171]
The formula of aspartame is <span>C14H18N2O5.
From the periodic table:
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
molecular mass of oxygen = 16 grams

This means that:
molar mass of aspartame = 14(12)+18(1)+2(14)+5(16) = 294 grams
Therefore, each 294 grams of aspartame contains 5(16) = 80 grams of oxygen. To know number of grams of oxygen in 23.6 grams of aspartame, simply use cross multiplication as follows:
mass of oxygen = (23.6x80) / 294 = 6.42 grams</span>

Consider the reaction C2H4(g) + H2O(g) --&gt; CH3CH2OH(g)
arsen [322]

Answer:

K = 361.369

Explanation:

C2H4(g) + H2O(g) → CH3CH2OH(g)

∴ ΔG°f(298.15K) CH3CH2OH(g) = - 174.8 KJ/mol

∴ ΔG°f(298.15) C2H4(g) =  68.4 KJ/mol

∴ ΔG°f(298.15) H2O(g) = - 228.6 KJ/mol

⇒ ΔG°f(298.15) = - 174.8 - ( - 228.6 + 68.4 ) = - 14.6 KJ/mol

  • K = e∧(-ΔG°f / RT)

∴ R = 8.314 E-3 KJ/mol.K

∴ T = 298.15 K

⇒ K = e∧(-(-14.6)/((8.314 E-3)(298.15)))

⇒ K = e∧(5.889)

⇒ K = 361.369
