Formula units??? im assuming moles 
if its how many moles of mgcl2 in 29.2g of mgcl2
to find moles: Mass / RFM = 29.2/95 = 0.307mol

if its the number of atoms: Moles x Avogadro contestant
0.307 x 6.02x10+23 

hope that helps

What happens when sodium and sulfur combine
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Sodium sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula Na2S, or more commonly its hydrate Na2S·9H2O. Both the anhydrous and the hydrated salts are colorless solids. They are water-soluble, giving strongly alkaline solutions. When exposed to moist air, Na2S and its hydrates emit hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. Some commercial samples are specified as Na2S·xH2O, where a weight percentage of Na2S is specified. Commonly available grades have around 60% Na2S by weight, which means that x is around 3. Such technical grades of sodium sulfide have a yellow appearance owing to the presence of polysulfides. These grades of sodium sulfide are marketed as 'sodium sulfide flakes'.

Structure

Na2S adopts the antifluorite structure,[2][3] which means that the Na+ centers occupy sites of the fluoride in the CaF2 framework, and the larger S2− occupy the sites for Ca2+.

Production

Industrially Na2S is produced by carbothermic reduction of sodium sulfate often using coal:[4]

Na2SO4 + 2 C → Na2S + 2 CO2

In the laboratory, the salt can be prepared by reduction of sulfur with sodium in anhydrous ammonia, or by sodium in dry THF with a catalytic amount of naphthalene (forming sodium naphthalenide):[5]

2 Na + S → Na2S

Reactions with inorganic reagents

The sulfide ion in sulfide salts such as sodium sulfide can incorporate a proton into the salt by protonation:

S2−

+  H+ → SH−

Because of this capture of the proton ( H+), sodium sulfide has basic character. Sodium sulfide is strongly basic, able to absorb two protons. Its conjugate acid is sodium hydrosulfide (SH−

). An aqueous solution contains a significant portion of sulfide ions that are singly protonated.

Sodium sulfide is unstable in the presence of water due to the gradual loss of hydrogen sulfide into the atmosphere.

When heated with oxygen and carbon dioxide, sodium sulfide can oxidize to sodium carbonate and sulfur dioxide:

2 Na2S + 3 O2 + 2 CO

2 → 2 Na2CO3 + 2 SO2

Oxidation with hydrogen peroxide gives sodium sulfate:[6]

Na2S + 4 H2O2 → 4 H

2O + Na2SO4

Upon treatment with sulfur, polysulfides are formed:

2 Na2S + S8 → 2 Na2S5

Uses

Sodium sulfide is primarily used in the kraft process in the pulp and paper industry.

It is used in water treatment as an oxygen scavenger agent and also as a metals precipitant; in chemical photography for toning black and white photographs; in the textile industry as a bleaching agent, for desulfurising and as a dechlorinating agent; and in the leather trade for the sulfitisation of tanning extracts. It is used in chemical manufacturing as a sulfonation and sulfomethylation agent. It is used in the production of rubber chemicals, sulfur dyes and other chemical compounds. It is used in other applications including ore flotation, oil recovery, making dyes, and detergent. It is also used during leather processing, as an unhairing agent in the liming operation.

Reagent in organic chemistry

Alkylation of sodium sulfide give thioethers:

Na2S + 2 RX → R2S + 2 NaX

Even aryl halides participate in this reaction.[7] By a broadly similar process sodium sulfide can react with alkenes in the thiol-ene reaction to give thioethers. Sodium sulfide can be used as nucleophile in Sandmeyer type reactions.[8] Sodium sulfide reduces1,3-dinitrobenzene derivatives to the 3-nitroanilines.[9] Aqueous solution of sodium sulfide can be refluxed with nitro carrying azo dyes dissolved in dioxane and ethanol to selectively reduce the nitro groups to amine; while other reducible groups, e.g. azo group, remain intact.[10] Sulfide has also been employed in photocatalytic applications.[11]

How are a flashlight and lightening similar and how are they different?
grandymaker [24]
<span>A flashlight is an electric-powered light source; the light source is a light bulb or an LED. The electrical energy is converted into visible light. Flashlights can be hand-held or mounted to a platform. Light from a lighting, on the other hand, is formed by exciting electrons to a higher state. </span>

What force is necessary to accelerates a 1250kg car at a rate of 40 m/s
zalisa [80]

Answer:

F = 50000 N

Explanation:

The acceleration is rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Formula:

a = Δv/Δt

a = acceleration

Δv = change in velocity

Δt = change in time

Units:

The unit of acceleration is m.s⁻².

Acceleration can also be determine through following formula,

F = m × a

a = F/m

Given data:

Mass of car = 1250 Kg

Acceleration = 40 m/s².

Force = ?

Solution:

F = m × a

F = 1250 Kg ×  40 m/s²

Kg.m/s² = N

F = 50000 N

Write the formulas of the three singly chlorinated isomers formed when 2,2-dimethylbutane reacts with Cl2 in the presence of lig
Tems11 [23]

The molecule with same molecular formula but different arrangement of atoms is said to be an isomer.

When 2,2-dimethylbutane reacts with chlorine in the presence of light gives three isomers that is CH_{3}C(CH_{3})_{2}CHClCH_{3} (3-chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane), ClCH_{2}C(CH_{3})_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3} (1-chloro-2,2-dimethylbutane) and ClCH_{2}CH_{2}C(CH_{3})_{2}CH_{3} (1-chloro-3,3-dimethylbutane).

In above case, the molecular formula of all isomers are same i.e.C_{6}H_{13}Cl but chlorine is arranged in different positions of carbon. Thus, results isomers.

The reaction is shown in the image.
