Answer:

Pressure is an important physical quantity—it plays an essential role in topics ranging from thermodynamics to solid and fluid mechanics. As a scalar physical quantity (having magnitude but no direction), pressure is defined as the force per unit area applied perpendicular to the surface to which it is applied. Pressure can be expressed in a number of units depending on the context of use.

Probably not the best answer but hope this helps somewhat. :)

Which term best describes the role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule?

Alex Ar [27]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. The term that would best describe the <span>role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule would be a reactant. Water has a formula of H2O where it contains water so it should be that hydrogen is a reactant. </span>

What is the correct formula for combining Mg2+ and Br1+

True [87]

Answer: The correct formula is $MgBr_2$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here magnesium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as $Mg^{2+}$ cation and bromine $Br^{-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $MgBr_2$ .
