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.

What is the pH of a solution with a H+ ion of 2×10-¹²?

kap26 [50]

Answer:

11.7

Explanation:

The pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of H+ ions. If the concentration is 2×10-¹² the the pH will be -log(2×10-¹²) which is 11.698 which can be round up to 11.7.

C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O<br> What is the number of atoms on each side of the equation?

Roman55 [17]

Answer: 1.2642*10²⁵ on both sides

Explanation:

First check how many moles are there on each side.
Since this is a balanaced equataion the number of moles on each side is the same thus the number of atoms is also same on both sides

There are 3 moles of carbon and 8 moles of hydrogen in C3H8
and 2 moles of oxygen in O2 but there 5 infront so 2*5 is 10
Number of moles on the right is 10+8+3 = 21

Now use Avogrado's constant

21 Moles* (6.02*10²³)/Mol
= 21*6.02*10²³

= 1.2642*10²⁵
