Magnesium (Mg)

The reason for this is the reactivity of the listed metals. Gold and silver are extremely unreactive metals. It is because of this unreactive nature that they remain in good condition for long periods of time, and are preferred in jewelry. Copper, although more reactive than gold and silver, is still not reactive enough to react with HCl. 
The only metal that will react is magnesium.

A sample compound contains 9.11 g Ni and 5.89g F. What is the empirical formula of this compound?
Alexxx [7]

The empirical formula of the compound is C. NiF₂.

<em>Step 1</em>. Calculate the <em>moles of each element</em>

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Ni to F.

Moles of Ni = 9.11 g Ni × (1 mol Ni /(58.69 g Ni) = 0.1552 mol Ni

Moles of F = 5.89 g F × (1 mol F/19.00 g F) = 0.3100 mol F

<em>Step 2</em>. Calculate the <em>molar ratio</em> of the elements

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles

Ni:F = 0.1552:0.3100 = 1:1.997 ≈ 1:2

<em>Step 3</em>: Write the <em>empirical formula</em>

EF = NiF₂

Why does the nitrogen concentration decrease after hydrogen is added? n2(g)+3h2(g)⇌2nh3(g) why does the nitrogen concentration d
Leno4ka [110]

<span>The chemical reaction of a reversible reaction is actually governed by Le Chatelier’s principle. It states that when more reactants are introduced into the system, the reaction will proceed forward to create more products. So since Hydrogen is a reactant and Nitrogen is also reactant so adding more Hydrogen makes more products hence reducing the Nitrogen concentration.</span>
