Silicon Tetrachloride is reacted with very pure magnesium, producing silicon and magnesium chloride. (What would be the unbalanc

ed equation? In other words I'm trying to find pure magnesium's formula.. would it be Mg2? Or just Mg?) I have SiCl4 for Silicon tetrachloride so far..
Is it: SiCl4 + Mg = Si + MgCl2 [unbalanced]?
Balanced: SiCl4 + 2Mg = Si + 2MgCl2 ??

Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen. 

And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.

(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space, It can exist in 3 states, or phases: solid, liquid, and gas.

Solid molecules are closely packed together and retain a fixed shape.

Liquid molecules aren't packed very closely, and take the shape of the bottom of the container.

Gas molecules are far apart and fill the container

completely.

C2H4O2 + NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2 list the reactants in this chemical reaction
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

C₂H₄O₂ and NaC₂H₃O₂ are reactants.

Explanation:

Word equation:

Acetic acid + sodium acetate  → sodium diacetate

Chemical equation:

C₂H₄O₂ + NaC₂H₃O₂  →  C₄H₇NaO₄

This is a synthesis reaction in which simple reactants combine to form complex product.

This is also balanced chemical equation because there are equal number of atoms of all elements on both side of equation. Thus it follow the law of conservation of mass.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

How many parts per million of fluoride in a solution that is 500 grams of fluoride and 500,000 liters water
erik [133]

0.000001‬ppm

Explanation:

Mass of fluoride = 500g

Volume of water = 500000liters

Unknown:

Parts per million of fluoride = ?

Solution:

The parts per million is the amount of solute in milligram dissolved in a liter of water or milligram per kilogram of solvent

It is a unit used to express very small concentration.

 we need to convert g - mg

   500g = 500 x  10⁻³mg  = 0.5mg

   Concentration in parts per million = \frac{mass in mg}{Volume in liters}

Concentration in parts per million = \frac{0.5}{500000} = 0.000001‬ppm
