Answer:
I also have this question but see the 69 page of ur question book
The answer is A. an explanation
In order to synthesize a complex organic molecule, the
chemist should at least illustrate or imagine the bonds that are in need to be
cut down or to separate in order to obtain the compound that can be easily
changed.
Explanation:
For Mg, (1.2 g Mg/24 g Mg) = 0.05 mol Mg.
For Cl, (3.55 g Cl/35.5 g Cl) = 0.1 mol Cl
So the ratio now is
Mg:Cl = 0.05 : 0.1 = 1:2
I got the 1:2 ratio by dividing both by the smallest number, which is 0.05 mol. Therefore, the empirical for formula of the substance is
