An unknown compound has the following chemical formula: Mg_xCl_2

Chemistry
1 answer:
Art [367]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol

number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol

To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.

                                Mg                            Cl

Number of

moles                      6.8                           13.56

Dividing

by the smallest      6.8/6.8                    13.56/6.8

                                    1                                2

  The formula of the compound is MgCl₂

This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.

When a soda can is dropped, it should not be immediately opened. Why?
Kipish [7]
<span>The pressure inside a coke bottle is really high. This helps keep the soda carbonated. That is, the additional pressure at the surface of the liquid inside the bottle forces the bubbles to stay dissolved within the soda. </span><span>When the coke is opened, there is suddenly a great pressure differential. The initial loud hiss that is heard is this pressure differential equalizing itself. All of the additional pressure found within the bottle pushes gas out of the bottle until the pressure inside the bottle is the same as the pressure outside the bottle. </span><span>However, once this occurs, the pressure inside the bottle is much lower and the gas bubbles that had previously been dissolved into the soda have nothing holding them in the liquid anymore so they start rising out of the liquid. As they reach the surface, they pop and force small explosions of soda. These explosions are the source of the popping and hissing that continues while the soda is opened to the outside air. Of course, after a while, the soda will become "flat" when the only gas left dissolved in the liquid will be the gas that is held back by the relatively weak atmospheric pressure.</span>

Consider a 1260-kg automobile clocked by law-enforcement radar at a speed of 85.5 km/h. If the position of the car is known to w
-BARSIC- [3]
The expected speed is v = 85.5 km/h
 v = 85.5 km/h = (85.5 km/h)*(0.2778 (m/s)/(km/h)) = 23.75 m/s

If there is an uncertainty of 2 meters in measuring the position, then within a 1-second time interval:
The lower measurement for the speed is v₁ = 21.75 m/s,
The upper measurement for the speed is v₂ = 25.75 m/s.
The range of variation is
Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 4 m/s

The uncertainty in measuring the speed is
Δv/v = 4/23.75 = 0.1684 = 16.84%

Answer: 16.8%

Rotation about a carbon-carbon double bond does not readily occur because: __________.1) the overlap of the p orbitals of the ca
Advocard [28]

Answer:

1) The overlap of the p orbitals of the carbon-carbon π bond would be lost

Explanation:

Unlike simple bonds, a double bond can not rotate, since it is not possible to twist the ends of the molecule without breaking the π bond.

In the structure of but-2-ene present in the attachment, we can see the two isomers, <em>cis</em> and<em> trans</em>. These isomers cannot be interconverted by rotation around the carbon-carbon double bond without breaking the π bond.
