A hydrate is a chemical that has water molecules loosely bonded to it. The water molecules are not ... You will be using the hydrate CuSO4 . ?H2O. Sample Calculation-. An empty crucible has a mass of 12.770 grams.
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
Elements in the third row can break the octet rule
Answer:
Explanation:
a. the salt produced would be Mg3N2(magnesium nitride)
b. magnesium loses 2 electron to form Mg2+ ion and nitrogen gains 3 electron to form n3-
when several of these ions come together 3 Mg2+ ion combine with 2 n3- ion to form Mg3N2 thus Mg getting six electron from nitrogen to form a ionic bond.
c. the reaction is not balanced Mg + N2 = Mg3n2
to make it balanced the reaction should be 3 Mg + N2 = Mg3N2.
the reaction was not balanced before because the number of Mg on both side of the reaction was not equal.
d. magnesium nitrate has formula Mg(NO3)2 is formed when Mg combines with nitrogen and oxygen Mg + N2 + o2
