How many atoms of oxygen (O) are in one formula unit of Mg(NO3)2?

2 answers:

5 0

We may use the molecular formula of the compound to determine the number of oxygen atoms in one formula unit. The formula unit is:
Mg(NO₃)₂
Here, we can see that there are two nitrate ions in each mole, and each mole of nitrate ion contains three oxygen atoms. Thus, there are 6 oxygen atoms in each formula unit of magnesium nitrate.

The molecular formula indicates the number of atoms of each element in the molecule.
Oxygen exists as molecules (diatomic molecules). T<span>he fundamental particles that make up a sample of Oxygen are pairs of atoms, rather than individual atoms.
</span><span>You can count the number of atoms of each element in a chemical formula by multiplying the coefficient by the subscript, recognizing that those coefficients and subscripts that are not shown are equal to 1. So, in our case there are 6 atoms of oxygen.</span>

Answer:

Hi, this is a super vague question, so its pretty confusing to answer. Could you please be a bit more specific?

If you are referring to chemistry, then how you tell "what is what" is by the molecular makeup of an element (Periodic table), and "how that..affects what", chemical reactions can occur between elements

A solution contains 0.2 moles of hydrochloric acid. The volume of the solution is 100cm3. What is its concentration in mol/dm³?

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer= 2 mol/dm^3

Explanation:-
Firstly, we convert the volume, which is in cm^3 to dm^3. To do that divide number in cm^3 by 1000:
100/1000= 0.1 dm^3

Formula for concentration is:
Concentration= No. of moles/ Volume

So,
Concentration= 0.2/0.1

Answer= 2 mol/dm^3

Which statements below are an appropriate hypothesis in response to this question? Check all that

lyudmila [28]

The correct statements are b, c, and e.
A hypothesis is defined as a tentative or proposed explanation for the occurrence of any phenomenon.
It is usually based on a very less number of pieces of evidence and provides the first step for further classification.
The hypothesis must be testable so that it can be accepted or rejected on the basis of scientific methods.
Thus, the correct statements are b, c, and e.
