Lithium has charge of +1 and bromide has charge of - 1. So they combine to form the compound lithium bromide which is expressed as LiBr.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Lithium is an alkali metal placed in group 1 or periodic table. It has a valency of 1 which is achieved as lithium loses an electron to achieve a charge of +1.

Bromine is a halogen which is placed in group 17 of periodic table. It has a valency of 1 which is achieved as bromine looses an election to achieve a charge of - 1.

Lithium is the cation and bromide is the anion. So lithium is written in front and bromine following the cation. And as both of their valencies are 1, so they form the compound LiBr.

What mass in grams of hydrogen is produced by the reaction of 2.0 g of magnesium? (Make sure to balance the reaction first)
denpristay [2]

Answer:

0.164541341 g H2

Explanation:

1) Convert grams to moles by dividing by RMM of Magnesium (24.31g).

  2g Mg * (1 mol Mg / 24.31 g Mg) = 0.082270671 mol of Mg

2) Use the balanced equation's ratio of 1 mol Mg: 1 mol H2.

  0.082270671 mol of Mg = 0.082270671 mol of H2

3) Convert the mol of H2 back into grams by multiplying by H2's RMM (2 g).

  0.082270671 mol of H2 * 2 g H2 = 0.164541341 g H2

Twenty-seven milliliters of an acid with an unknown concentration are titrated with a base that has a concentration of 0.55 M. T
Svetllana [295]
It should be 0.25 M. Use the formula C1*V1=C2*V2, for those values, as it is right when it changed colour. Remember to change the if those are not the same (but in your case it is, so no need this time). 

C1*V1=C2*V2
C1*27ml=0.55M*12.5ml
C1=(0.55M*12.5ml)/27ml = 0.25M
