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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Monica [59]3 years ago
5 0
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.

Explain what a glycosolation reaction is
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The glycosylation reaction or glycoside formation is an organic reaction in which the hemiacetal group of cyclists ketoses or aldoses turns into acetals, named glycosides. Reaction in the attached picture.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates can be found in an open-chain form or a cyclic form. For the second one, the carbonyl group of the aldehyde could react with the alcohol group of the molecule to form the cycle. As shown in the attached picture, the alcohol group of this cyclic form could react with an alcohol (like methanol) in acidic conditions to form an acetal. These compounds are stable at neutral and acidic conditions, but they hydrolyze at basic conditions. This reaction produces both acetals anomers (α and β) because the attack of the nucleophile (alcohol) could be from both sides. However, the most stable anomer will predominate.

In an aqueous solution of potassium chloride the solute is
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Potassium chloride

Explanation:

A solution is formed by a solvent and one or more solutes.

The solvent is the species that is in major proportion and usually defines the state of aggregation of the solution, while the solute/s is/are in minor proportion.

Also, water is known as the universal solvent, so in any solution containing water, it is considered as the solvent.

Then, in an aqueous solution of potassium chloride the solute is potassium chloride.

3.00 L of a gas is collected at 35.0°C and 705.0 mmHg. What is the volume at STP?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

2.47L

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation as follows:

P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (mmHg)

P2 = final pressure (mmHg)

V1 = initial volume (L)

V2 = final volume (L)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question;

P1 = 705mmHg

P2 = 760mmHg (STP)

V1 = 3.00L

V2 = ?

T1 = 35°C = 35 + 273 = 308K

T2 = 273K (STP)

Using P1V1/T1= P2V2/T2

705 × 3/308 = 760 × V2/273

2115/308 = 760V2/273

Cross multiply

308 × 760V2 = 2115 × 273

234,080V2 = 577,395

V2 = 577,395 ÷ 234,080

V2 = 2.47L
