<u>Answer:</u> The oxidation number of magnesium in magnesium chloride is +2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation number is defined as the number that is assigned to an element when it gains or looses electrons. If an element gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation number and if an element looses electron, it will attain a positive oxidation number.

The chemical formula for magnesium chloride is MgCl_2

We take the oxidation state of magnesium atom be 'x'.

Oxidation state of chlorine atom = -1

Evaluating the oxidation number of magnesium atom:

x+2(-1)=0\\\\x=+2

Hence, the oxidation number of magnesium in the given compound is +2.

By process of incineration, a mystery substance is empirically determined to contain 40.00% carbon by weight, 6.67% hydrogen, an
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

C₂H₄O₂

Explanation:

Step 1: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

C: 40.00/12.01 = 3.331

H: 6.67/1.01 = 6.60

O: 53.33/16.00 = 3.333

Step 2: Divide all the numbers by the smallest one

C: 3.331/3.331 = 1

H: 6.60/3.331 ≈ 2

O: 3.333/3.331 ≈ 1

The empirical formula is CH₂O, with a molecular weight of 12 g/mol + 2 × 1 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 30 g/mol. The molecular weight of the compound must be a product of 30, such as 60 (between 55 and 62 g/mol). Since we have to multiply by 2 (30 to 60) to get to the molecular weight of the compound, we also have to multiply the empirical formula by 2 to get the chemical formula of the compound.

CH₂O × 2 = C₂H₄O₂

Explain intermolecular forces cause water molecules to stick to a material like a glass pitcher​
natulia [17]

Answer:

Cohesive forces cause the water molecules to stick together with a lot of elasticity, allowing the water to function very much like a rubber into a material like a glass pitcher.

Two moles of gas A spontaneously convert to 3 moles of gas b in a container where the temperature and pressure are held constant
erica [24]

At constant temperature and pressure, If the amount of gas increases to the given value, its volume also increases to 20.85L.

<h3>What is Avogadro's law?</h3>

Avogadro's law states that "equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules."

It is expressed as;

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

Given the data in the question;

  • Initial amount of gas n₁ = 2moles
  • Initial volume v₁ = 13.9L
  • Final amount of gas n₁ = 3moles
  • Final volume v₂ = ?

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

V₁n₂ = V₂n₁

V₂ = V₁n₂ / n₁

V₂ = (13.9L × 3moles) / 2moles

V₂ = 41.7molL / 2mol

V₂ = 20.85L

At constant temperature and pressure, If the amount of gas increases to the given value, its volume also increases to 20.85L.
