Mg ^+2 N^-3

Mg3N2. Magnesium nitride. I believe this would be the chemical formula.

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical formula for the given compound is $Mg_3N_2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

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 $Mg_3N_2$

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Calculate the solubility of each of the following compounds in moles per liter. Ignore any acid-base properties.

CaCO₃, Ksp = 8.7 × 10⁻⁹

Answer : The solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Explanation :

As we know that CaCO₃ dissociates to give $Ca^{2+}$ ion and $CO_3^{2-}$ ion.

The solubility equilibrium reaction will be:

$CaCO_3\rightleftharpoons Ca^{2+}+CO_3^{2-}$

The expression for solubility constant for this reaction will be,

$K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][CO_3^{2-}]$

Let solubility of CaCO₃ be, 's'

$K_{sp}=(s)\times (s)$

$K_{sp}=s^2$

$8.7\times 10^{-9}=s^2$

$s=9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

Therefore, the solubility of CaCO₃ is, $9.33\times 10^{-5}mol/L$

How many unpaired electrons are present in a ground-state atom from each of the following groups?

musickatia [10]

For 7A(17) :

Electronic configuration $ns^2 np^5$

So, there are 5 unpaired electrons present in group 7A(17).

<h3>What are Unpaired Electrons?</h3>

An unpaired electron is an electron that doesn't form part of an electron pair when it occupies an atom's orbital in chemistry.
Each of an atom's three atomic orbitals, designated by the quantum numbers n, l, and m, has the capacity to hold a pair of two electrons with opposing spins.
Unpaired electrons are extremely uncommon in chemistry because an object carrying an unpaired electron is typically quite reactive. This is because the production of electron pairs, whether in the form of a chemical bond or as a lone pair, is frequently energetically advantageous.
They play a crucial role in describing reaction pathways even though they normally only appear momentarily during a reaction on a thing called a radical in organic chemistry.

Which horizon has the least weathered rocks? How do you know?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

C: The C horizon is a subsurface horizon. It is the least weathered horizon. Also known as the saprolite, it is unconsolidated, loose parent material. The master horizons may be followed by a subscript to make further distinctions between differences within one master horizon.
