Answer:

The formula of the magnesium halide is MgF₂

Explanation:

All halides, X, produce a salt with Mg with the formula:

MgX₂

<em>-There are 2 moles of the halide ion per mole of Mg-</em>

<em />

With the mass of the MgSO₄ we can find moles of magnesium sulfate  = Moles Mg.

With moles of Mg we can know the moles of the halide -1 mole Mg = 2 moles of Halide-

And we can find the mass of Mg in the 0.0776g sample. Subtracting we can find the mass of the halide and, with the mass and moles of the halide we can find its molecular weight and its identity:

<em>Moles MgSO₄ -Molar mass: 120.366g/mol- = Moles Mg:</em>

0.150g * (1mol / 120.366g) = 1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg

<em>Moles halide:</em>

1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg * 2 = <em>2.4924x10⁻³ moles Halide</em>

<em>Mass Mg -Molar mass: 24.305g/mol:</em>

1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg * (24.305g / mol) = 0.0303g Mg

<em>Mass halide:</em>

0.0776g - 0.0303g Mg = <em>0.0473g</em>

<em>Molecular weight of the halide:</em>

0.0473g / 2.4924x10⁻³ moles =

18.98g/mol

This molecular weight is the molecular weight of Fluoride ion, F⁻,

<h3>The formula of the magnesium halide is MgF₂</h3>

Which unit can be used to express the concentration of a solution?
exis [7]

Answer: (3) ppm

Explanation: Concentration is defined as the amount of solute dissolved in a known amount of the solvent or  a solution.

Parts per million (ppm) is used to express the concentration when a very small quantity of solute is present in a large quantity of the solution. It is defined as the mass of solute present in one milion (10^6) parts by mass of the solution.

ppm=\frac{\text {mass of Solute}}{\text {Mass of solution}}\times 10^6

L/s is used to express flow rate.

J/g is used to express energy per unit mass.

kPa is used to express pressure.

1. Al(C₂H₅)₂OCl₃

Al(C₂H₅)₂OCl₃ is made from 5 different elements. They are Al, C, H, O and Cl. Number of atoms in each element can be found as follows.

number of Al atoms = 1
number of C atoms = 2 x 2 = 4
number of H atoms = 5 x 2 = 10
number of O atoms = 1
number of Cl atoms = 3
<span>
Total number of atoms = 1 + 4 + 10 + 1 + 3 = 19

2. </span>BCl₃<span> 

BCl</span>₃ is a simple neutral molecule. It consists of 2 different elements as B and Cl. Total number of atoms is 4. Number of atoms can be calculated as follows.

number of B atoms = 1
number of Cl atoms = 3

Total number of atoms = 1 + 3 = 4<span>

3. </span>H₂O + H⁺

H₂O makes H₃O⁺ (hydronium ion) with H⁺ which is a positive ion. H₃O⁺ consists of two different elements as H and O. Number of atoms are as follows.

number of H atoms = 3
number of O atoms = 1

Total number of atoms = 3 + 1 = 4

What element does this model represent?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

$\tex$ Option 2: Aluminum (Al)

Explanation:

When we are given Bohr models, we will be given a circle with rings surrounding it. The circle in the center of the model represents the nucleus, which contains the neutrons and the protons. The rings will have spherical structures that are attached to them in an orderly fashion - these model the electrons of an atom.

  • Protons are positively-charged subatomic particles that also identify the atom's chemical identity and atomic number. Using the number of protons, we are able to identify the element.
  • The neutrons are the neutrally-charged subatomic particles that give an atom its weight. When you look at a traditional periodic table, you'll see that the square that houses an element has its symbol, atomic number, and atomic mass. The atomic mass is equivalent to the sum of the protons and neutrons.
  • Electrons are negatively-charged subatomic particles that give an atom its overall charge. In order for an atom to be stable and neutral, the electrons <u>must</u> equal the protons. Otherwise, we have an unstable atom called an ion with either a positive or a negative charge. This is dependent on whether an atom has gained or lost electrons.

When we reference the model, we will see that there are 13 "p" and 14 "n" within the green circle. The "n" refers to <em>neutrons </em>and the "p" refers to <em>protons</em>. We can also count the red spheres and make quick observations about these: there are 2 red spheres on the innermost ring - for simplicity reasons, we will title this ring as r = 1. There are 8 red spheres on the middle ring - this ring will be titled r = 2. Finally, we can see that there are 2 more electrons in the outermost ring - this ring will be titled r = 3.

Now, because we have 13 protons, we know that the protons are equivalent to the atomic number.

  1. If we check the periodic table, we will see that Silicon (Si) has an atomic number of 14. This doesn't match the number of protons, so we can rule out that a silicon atom is not the element shown.
  2. When we use the same process and check aluminum, we discover that Aluminum (Al) has an atomic number of 13. Since the number of protons and the atomic number are equal, we can conclude that this is the element.
  3. If we check Helium (He), we see that it has an atomic number of 2, so this is definitely not our element in question.

Now that we have concluded that Aluminum is our element, we can check this to be sure. If we use the formula m = n + p (where m is the atomic mass, n is the neutrons, and p is the protons), we can check to be sure we have selected the right element.

The given mass of aluminum on the periodic table is 26.982 atomic mass units. We round to the nearest integer when it comes to this, so we round 26.982 up to 27 even.

Now that we have determined the atomic mass and we are given the number of both protons and neutrons, we can act as if we weren't given the amount of neutrons and only the mass and amount of protons. We can then use the equation to solve for the amount of neutrons and check that the selection we made is correct.

<u>Steps</u>

  1. Substitute 27 for <em>m</em> and 13 for <em>p</em>.
  2. Subtract 13 from both sides to isolate the <em>n</em> and place the constants on the same side of the equation.
  3. Combine like terms by taking the appropriate operations (in this case, this is subtracting 13 from 27).
  4. Finally, because we are solving for <em>n</em>, you can reverse the equation (place the constant on the right and place the variable on the left; i.e., 72 = x  →  x = 72).

27 = n + 13\\\\27 - 13 = n\\\\14 = n\\\\n = 14

The work we just performed will allow us to confirm that because we solved for <u>14 neutrons</u>, Aluminum (Al) is indeed the element represented by the model.

Hope this helps! :)
