<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

A 45.0L gas cylinder contains 988 He at 23 degrees C what is the pressure inside the cylinder​
gregori [183]

Answer:

P = 133.4 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of helium = 988 g

Volume = 45.0 L

Temperature = 23°C (23+273= 296 K)

Pressure of cylinder = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of helium:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 988 g/ 4 g/mol

Number of moles = 247 mol

Pressure:

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

P = 247 mol × 0.0821. atm. L/mol. K × 296 K / 45 L

P = 6002.5 / 45 L

P = 133.4 atm

How can a new element be made?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

by changing the number of protons in the atom

Explanation:

Elements are defined by their number of protons. For example, an element with 1 proton is hydrogen, and an element with 2 protons is helium. Changing the number of neutrons or electrons in a preexisting element will not make a new element. Is is possible to create new elements, but it requires large amounts of heat and/or pressure.
