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.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Reagent A: PBr₃

Reagent B: Mg in Et₂O.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, your facing a problem in which a carboxylic acid is produced starting by an alcohol. More specifically, cyclopentanol must react with phosphorous tribromide in order to yield bromocyclopentane which is more likely to produce a carboxylic acid, therefore, reagent A is PBr₃.

On the other hand, by means of the production of the specified product, bromocyclopentane must react with carbon dioxide and magnesium in diethyl ether in acidic media to promote the production of the cyclopentanoic acid via the grignard reaction (substitution of the bromine by the carboxyle group), therefore, reagent B is Mg in Et₂O.

Best regards.
