Explanation:
<u>Physical properties of ZBr₂</u>
The compound is an ionic substance. Therefore it will have properties of ionic compounds. Some of these properties are:
- it is a hard solid usually with high melting points or a liquid with high boiling points.
- Soluble in water and insoluble in non-polar solvents.
- It can conduct electricity in aqueous solutions or in molten form.
- it will undergo a fast reaction.
<u>Z is a metal</u>
To form ionic compound, a metal will combine with a non-metal. Bromine is a non-metal and it is expected that Z will be a metal. This is because ionic bonds involves transfer of electron from one specie to the other. Metals are usually the donor and non-metals are the receptor. This is how ionic bond forms. The electrostatic attraction resulting from the ions produced the ionic bond.
<u>Formula of the oxide</u>
ZO
Z 0
+2 -2
It is obvious that Z has 2 valence electrons. It will lose the two valence electrons to attain stability.
Oxygen requires 2 electrons to resemble Neon. This combination will give a compound ZO.

Volume of solution in liters:
5.00 x 10² mL / 1000 => 0.5 L
number of moles:
mass of solute / molar mass
21.1 / 119.0 => 0.1773 moles
Molarity = number of moles / volume
M = 0.1773 / 0.5
M = 0.355 mol/L
