Look at the periodic table to find the charge on atoms.
Magnesium is +2 and Nitrogen is -3. Since there are two nitrogen charge 2*-3 = -6 there needs to be 3 Mg then (3*2+ = 6+) to pair with the two nitrogen.
3 Mg(+2) + 2 N(-3) = Mg3N2
If you start with 40.0 grams of the element at noon, 10.0 grams
radioactive element will be left at 2 p.m. The correct answer between
all the choices given is the second choice or letter B. I am hoping that this
answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your
endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
<span>Answer:
Nothing is balanced in your final equation: not H, not O, not Cr, not I and your charges aren't either.
Start with your 2 half reactions:
I- --> IO3-
Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+
Balance O by adding H2O:
I- + 3 H2O --> IO3-
Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O
Balance H by adding H+:
I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+
Cr2O72- + 14 H+ --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O
Balance charge by adding e-:
I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ + 6 e-
Cr2O72- + 14 H+ + 6 e- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O
Since the numbers of electrons in your two half reactions are the same, just add them and simplify to give:
Cr2O72- + I- + 8 H+ --> IO3- + 2 Cr3+ + 4 H2O</span>
Iodine has an electronegativity of 2.5, and potassium has an electronegativity of 0.8, so the difference is:
2.5 - 0.8 = 1.7
