Mixture cuz it contains gases, water vapor, dust and microbes

It is a mixture because the compounds that make up air e.g. oxygen (o2), Carbon dioxide (co2) and the most important Nitrogen which is an element and makes up 78.09% of air are not chemically bound in the way that compounds are because they can be separated easily and there has been no change in state to any of the compounds or elements in air!hope this helpful!

A salt contains only magnesium and one of the halide ions. A 0.0776-g sample of the salt was dissolved in water, and an excess o

sdas [7]

Answer:

The formula of the magnesium halide is MgF₂

Explanation:

All halides, X, produce a salt with Mg with the formula:

MgX₂

-There are 2 moles of the halide ion per mole of Mg-

With the mass of the MgSO₄ we can find moles of magnesium sulfate = Moles Mg.

With moles of Mg we can know the moles of the halide -1 mole Mg = 2 moles of Halide-

And we can find the mass of Mg in the 0.0776g sample. Subtracting we can find the mass of the halide and, with the mass and moles of the halide we can find its molecular weight and its identity:

Moles MgSO₄ -Molar mass: 120.366g/mol- = Moles Mg:

0.150g * (1mol / 120.366g) = 1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg

Moles halide:

1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg * 2 = 2.4924x10⁻³ moles Halide

Mass Mg -Molar mass: 24.305g/mol:

1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg * (24.305g / mol) = 0.0303g Mg

Mass halide:

0.0776g - 0.0303g Mg = 0.0473g

Molecular weight of the halide:

0.0473g / 2.4924x10⁻³ moles =

18.98g/mol

This molecular weight is the molecular weight of Fluoride ion, F⁻,

Do wind up clocks need batteries? -like the non wired ones.

Sphinxa [80]

No, why? Cause if you're winding up the clock it's basically doing what it needs to do. So there's no need for batteries.. I hope my sad sentence make sense :p

For a principal quantum number n, how many atomic orbitals are possible?

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The total number of orbitals for a given n value is n2.

Explanation:

For a hydrogen atom with n=1, the electron is in its ground state; if the electron is in the n=2 orbital, it is in an excited state.
