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.

Ne4ueva [31]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. Here's the diagram that completes the question.

Answer:

<u>(B) nonpolar covalent bonds</u>

Explanation:

This structure in the diagram rightly fits the description of a non-covalent bond because there is an equal sharing of electrons of Carbon (C) and Chlorine (Cl).

<em>Remember</em> too that these elements are in their solid-state, hence the CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) molecules are held strongly together.

In this reaction, the covalent bonds in the molecules of hydrogen and oxygen are broken.

Westkost [7]

Answer: Endothermic

Explanation:

Bond-breaking is an endothermic process. Energy is released when new bonds form. Bond-making is an exothermic process. Whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic depends on the difference between the energy needed to break bonds and the energy released when new bonds form.

While you are using a battery, the cell reaction is going a) forward, b) backward, c) at equilibrium, d) TEXASIN all possible

polet [3.4K]

Answer:Cell reaction is going forward.

Explanation:

For any chemical reaction to be spontaneous or to move in forward direction the ΔG ,the Gibbs free energy must be negative.

The cell potential of a battery is positive for a spontaneous reaction, so for a battery to give output its cell potential must be positive.

Thermodynamics and electro-chemistry are related in the following manner:

ΔG=-nFE

n=number of electrons involved

F=Faradays constant

E=cell pottential of battery

so from the above equation ΔG would only be negative when E cell that is the cell potential is positive.

For a battery which is being used its cell potential is positive and hence the ΔG would be negative. So the cell reaction occurring would be in forward direction as ΔG is negative.

when the cell potential Ecell is 0 then ΔG is also zero then the reaction occurring in battery would be at equilibrium.

When the cell potential Ecell is - then ΔG is positive and the reaction would be occurring backwards.
