Answer:

Mg₃N₂.

Explanation:

Mg is an element of group (II A) in the periodic table.

It has atomic number (12) and its electronic configuration is (1s²2S²2p⁶3s²), it has 2.0 electrons in the valence level of electrons.

N is an element of group (V A) in the periodic table.

It has atomic number (7) and its electronic configuration is (1s²2S²2p³), it has 5.0 electrons in the valence level of electrons.

According to octet rule, Mg can lose 2.0 electrons and N can gain 3.0 electrons to be stable.

So, the resulting formula unit when magnesium (Mg) and nitrogen (N) bond is Mg₃N₂.

In the following reaction, eight moles of sodium hydroxide is broken down into four moles of sodium oxide and four moles of wate

maxonik [38]

Answer:

21.344%

Explanation:

For the given chemical reaction, 8 moles of the reactant should produce 4 moles of $Na_{2}O$ . However, 195 g of $Na_{2}O$ was produced instead. The molar mass of $Na_{2}O$ is 61.9789 g/mol.

Thus, the moles of $Na_{2}O$ produced = 195/61.9789 = 3.1462 moles

The percent error = [(Actual -Experiment)/Actual]*100%

The percent error = [(4.00 - 3.1462)/4.00]*100% = (0.85376/4.00)*100% = 21.344%
