Explanation:

Solution 86P

Here, we have to determine the amount of sodium hydroxide required to precipitate all of the Mg.

Mg2+(aq) +2 NaOH(aq) ------> Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2Na+(aq)

Therefore

Molar mass of NaOH =39.997 g/mol

Molar mass of Mg =24.305 g/mol

Thus,the conversion factors

g NaOH(aq)= mol NaOH(aq) = g Mg = mol Mg

Thus the amount of sodium hydroxide required

=  88.4 mg of  Mg x x x x...

Which is true regarding the penetrating power of radiation?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Gamma radiation have the most penetrating power. It can penetrate through human body, aluminum and other metals. It can be stopped by lead. Hence, the radioactive waste are stored in lead container for safety purposes. The beta ray has more penetrating power than the alpha but less than gamma. The beta radiations can be stopped by aluminum. The alpha radiations have least penetrating power and it can be stopped by human hands.

Write the empirical formula of at least four binary ionic compounds that could be formed from the following ions: Zn2+, Ni4+, F-
hram777 [196]

Ionic compounds are formed between oppositely charged ions.

A binary ionic compound is composed of ions of two different elements - one of which is a positive ion(metal), and the other is negative ion (nonmetal).

To write the empirical formula of binary ionic compound we must remember that one ion should be positive and other ion should be negative, then only the correct formula should be written. To write the empirical formula the charges of opposite ions should be criss-crossed.

First empirical formula of binary ionic compound is written betweenZn^{2+} (Positive ion)and F^{-} (Negative ion)

First Formula would be ZnF_{2}

Second empirical formula is between Zn^{2+}(Positive ion) and O^{2-}(Negative ion)

Second Formula would be Zn_{2}O_{2}

Note : When the subscript are same they get cancel out, so Zn_{2}O_{2} would be written as ZnO

Third empirical formula is between Ni^{4+}(Positive ion) and F^{-}(Negative ion)

Third Formula would be :NiF_{4}

Forth empirical formula is between Ni^{4+}(Positive ion)and O^{2-}(negative ion)

Forth Formula would be : Ni_{2}O_{4} or NiO_{2}

Note- The subscript will be simplified and the formula will be written as NiO_{2}.

The empirical formula of four binary ionic compounds are : ZnF_{2}, ZnO, NiF_{4},NiO_{2}

stich3 [128]

Explanation:

Contributing structures are the resonating structures which are formed due to the delocalization of electrons in a molecule.

The azide ion that is N^{-}_3, is a symmetrical ion, all of whose contributing structures have formal charges.

Lone pair of central nitrogen atom in azide ion is in conjugation with the neighboring nitrogen atoms.

Contributing structures of azide ion are drawn in the image attached.
