Answer:

Formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and formula of strontium oxide is SrO

Explanation:

Ca, Mg and Sr are same group bivalent metals.

Oxygen is a bivalent element

In general, formula of a compound made of a cation $M^{x+}$ and an anion $A^{y-}$ is $M_{y}A_{x}$ for $x\neq y$

When x = y, formula of the compound becomes MA

As both these metals and oxygen are bivalent therefore formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and formula of strontium oxide is SrO.

A base has Kb of 2.5 x 10-11. which of the following statements is true?(1 point)

Furkat [3]

I disagree with the answer pick of D. If you have a neutral pH 7 solution and you proceed to add a base even with an relatively insignificantly low Kb your solution would still be more basic then acidic. The answer should be b which is true that the base only ionizes slightly in aqueous solution. This is also truer to the definition of what Kb represents.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

m(H₂O) = 97,2 g.n(H₂O) = m(H₂O) ÷ M(H₂O).n(H₂O) = 97,2 g ÷ 18
