A) Magnesium Chloride
Mg is the symbol of Magnesium and Cl is the symbol of chlorine ( but when Cl is a compound it will be Choride)
Matter is the basic unit of every thing in the world, whether living or nonliving. So, it is logical to set definitions and postulates because these could pave way to other complexities of science. It is the foundation of science. That is why theories and laws are formulated for matter such as: Kinetic Theory of Matter, Dalton's Atomic Model, Newton's Law of Motion, Conservation Laws and many more.
Answer:
K = [ HOCl ] . [HgO. HgCl2] / [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2
Explanation:
The law of Mass Action states that, at constant temperature, the rate of reaction is proportional to the active masses of each of the reactants.
The reaction above is a reversible reaction and the law of mass action also applies to it.
The rate of reaction from left-to-right reaction = r1 = k. [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2
Rate of reaction from right - to - left r2 = k. [hocl]^2 [HgO . hgcl2]
Then at equilibrium,
r1 = r2
k1/k2 = [HOCl ]^2 [HgO. HgCl2] / [Cl2]^2 [H2O] [HgO]^2 = K
where K is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
Its described as a Straight Branch, hope this helps :)
