Answer:

Option E is correct.

Explanation:

An atom of magnesium and two atoms of chloride react and yield the compound of magnesium chloride

Mg + 2Cl -> MgCl₂

Therefore, the correct option is the option E.

Option A shows the decomposition of MgCl₂ to two Mg atom and 1 Cl atom. The reaction is unbalanced. The question has asked for the formation of MgCl₂. Option A is incorrect.  

Similarly, option C shows the decomposition of MgCl₂, however, the reaction is balanced. Option C is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect as there are 2 Cl atoms on the reactant side but no Mg atom.  

Option D is incorrect as there only 1 Mg atom on the reactant side but no Cl atoms.

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Mg + 2Cl $\longrightarrow$ MgCl$_{2}$}}

Explanation:

Convert the word equation to a chemical equation.

one atom magnesium + two atoms Cl form magnesium chloride

                Mg               +          2Cl           ⟶             MgCl₂

Calculate the molar solubility of copper(II) arsenate (Cu3(AsO4)2) in water. Use 7.6 x 10^-36 as the solubility product constant
Molodets [167]
Molar solubility<span> is the number of moles of a substance (the solute) that can be dissolved per liter of solution before the solution becomes saturated. We calculate as follows:

</span>3Cu2+ + 2(AsO4)3-<span> = Cu3(AsO4)2
</span>
7.6 x 10^-36 = (3x^3)(2x^2)
x = 6.62 x 10^-8 M

If i have 8 L of 0.25 M solution, how many miles of MgCl2 are present
qaws [65]

Answer:

2 moles

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

Molarity = 0.25 M

Volume = 8L

Mole =?

Molarity is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit litre of solution. It is represented mathematically as:

Molarity = mole of solute/Volume of solution.

With the above equation, we can easily find the number of mole of MgCl2 present in 8 L of 0.25 M MgCl2 solution as follow:

Molarity = mole of solute/Volume of solution.

0.25 = mole of MgCl2 /8

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Mole of MgCl2 = 0.25 x 8

Mole of MgCl2 = 2 moles

Therefore, 2 moles of MgCl2 are present in 8 L of 0.25 M MgCl2 solution
