Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

A. to determine the efficiency of the reaction

Explanation:

Percentage is the ratio of the actual yield to theoretical yield as a percentage. It is calculated by dividing the actual yield by theoretical yield then multiplying by 100%.

Calculation of percentage yield is important as it helps in the determination of efficiency of a reaction. For example in most industries for the purpose of making the most product with the least waste.

Additionally, calculating the percentage yield helps in determining other products that may be formed during the reactions.

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X
