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.

Magnesium, on the left of Periodic Table, is more metallic than chlorine on the right of this Period. Why is this? - Because Mag

Marat540 [252]

Magnesium is more metallic than chlorine because elements with metallic character readily lose electrons. Magnesium has an ionic charge of +2, ie. it will lose 2 electrons if possible. Chlorine has an ionic charge of -1, means that it will gain 1 electron if possible.

Answer:

3.94 L

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of O₂ = 5.62 g

Volume of O₂ =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole present in 5.62 g of O₂. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of O₂ = 5.62 g

Molar mass of O₂ = 2 × 16 = 32 g/mol

Mole of O₂ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of O₂ = 5.62 / 32

Mole of O₂ = 0.176 mole

Finally, we shall determine the volume of 5.62 g (i.e 0.176 mole) of O₂ at STP. This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of O₂ occupied 22.4 L at STP.

Therefore, 0.176 mole of O₂ will occupy = 0.176 × 22.4 = 3.94 L at STP.

Thus 5.62 g (i.e 0.176 mole) of O₂ occupied 3.94 L at STP
