Any compound should have a neutral charge. So the compound you make should have a net charge of zero.

So you have:
Mg which is 2+
And P which is 3-

You want to balance out both their charges. If you simply made MgP it would have a negative charge (because 2-3 = -1.)

Now to balance this, you have to find the LCM: In this case it is 6. (2x3)

Mg: Mg x 3
P: P × 2

You'll finally get Mg3P2.

Answer: Ionic formula will be Mg_3P_2.

Explanation: Mg^{2+} and P^{3-} ions will form a ionic compound. Ionic compounds have both metals and non-metals.

Here Mg^{2+} is a metal and P^{3-} is a non-metal.

The net charge on any compound must be 0.

So we need 2 phosphate ions to balance the charge on Mg^{2+} ions. Similarly we need 3 Magnesium ions to balance the charge on P^{3-} ions.

Criss-crossing the charges, we will get the formula as Mg_3P_2

Criss-crossing is shown in the image below.

A 2.00 L sample of gas at 35C is to be heated at constant pressure until it reaches a volume of 5.25 L. To what Kelvin temperatu
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The sample will be heated to 808.5 Kelvin

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume before heating = 2.00L

Temperature before heating = 35.0°C = 308 K

Volume after heating = 5.25 L

Pressure is constant

Step 2: Calculate temperature

V1 / T1 = V2 /T2

⇒ V1 = the initial volume = 2.00 L

⇒ T1 = the initial temperature = 308 K

⇒ V2 = the final volume = 5.25 L

⇒ T2 = The final temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

2.00L / 308.0 = 5.25L / T2

T2 = 5.25/(2.00/308.0)

T2 = 808.5 K

The sample will be heated to 808.5 Kelvin

What would be the temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg?
Anna [14]

Answer: The temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg is 920 K

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = pressure of gas = 2300 mm Hg = 3.02 atm  (760mmHg=1atm)

V = Volume of gas = 15 L

n = number of moles = 0.6

R = gas constant =0.0821Latm/Kmol

T =temperature = ?

T=\frac{PV}{nR}

T=\frac{3.02atm\times 15L}{0.0821Latm/K mol\times 0.6mol}=920K

Thus the temperature of 0.6 moles of fluorine that occupy 15 L at 2,300 mmHg is 920 K

5. What type of clouds can be found in the mesosphere?
Masja [62]

Some material from meteors lingers in the mesosphere, causing this layer to have a relatively high concentration of iron and other metal atoms. Very strange, high altitude clouds called "noctilucent clouds" or "polar mesospheric clouds" sometime form in the mesosphere near the poles.

I really hope this helps! I wish you the best of luck!

Given a 0.200 M solution of anserine at its isoelectric point and ready access to 0.100 M HCl, 0.100 M NaOH and distilled water,
vekshin1

Solution :

Given :

Amount of anserine solution = 0.200 M

pH value is = 7.20

Preparation of 0.04 M solution of anserine from the 0.2 M solution.

0.2 M x x = 0.04 M x 1000 ml

x = 200 ml

So the 200 ml of 0.2 M anserine solution is required to prepare0.04 M of anserine.

0.1 M x x = 0.04 x 1000 ml

x = 400 ml

Therefore, 400 ml of HCl is needed.
