Answer: The chemical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3N_2$

Explanation:

Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ne]3s^2$

This element will loose 2 electrons and form an oxidation state of +2 units.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[He]2s^22p^3$

This element requires 3 electrons and thus shows an oxidation state of -3 units.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and this form the subscripts of the other ions. It results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Thus, the chemical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3N_2$

Why is enthalpy important?

belka [17]

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that, within a closed system, the total amount of energy remains constant. However, energy may change from kinetic to potential and vice versa. The total energy will not have changed. Enthalpy is a measure of the amount of energy that exists in a system at constant pressure.

T What type of bond is formed between the two nitrogen atoms in diatomic nitrogen, N2?

romanna [79]

Nitrogen is a diatomic molecule in the VA family on the periodic table. Nitrogen has five valence electrons, so it needs three more valence electrons to complete its octet. A nitrogen atom can fill its octet by sharing three electrons with another nitrogen atom, forming three covalent bonds, a so-called triple bond.

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.360 kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of co

AVprozaik [17]

MThe heat energy required to raise the temperature of 0.36Kg of copper from 22 c to 60 c is calculate using the following formula

MC delta T
m(mass)= 0.360kg in grams = 0.360 x1000 = 360 g
c(specific heat energy) = 0.0920 cal/g.c
delta T = 60- 23 = 37 c

heat energy is therefore= 360g x0.0920 cal/g.c x 37 c= 1225.44 cal
