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 solution is made by adding 20 g table salt to 100 mL water. The solubility of salt is 36 g/100 mL water. Which term best descr

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

We say that the solution is unsaturated.

Explanation:

If the salt solubility is 36 g in 0.1 L of water then we can dissolve 360 g of salt in 1 L of water.

Because the solution contains 200 g of salt in 1 L of water, the solution is unsaturated because more salt can be added until we reach the saturation point.

We call the solution dilute when we compare the concentration of a solution with the concentration of another solution, but here we do not compare different solutions.
