A salt contains only magnesium and one of the halide ions. A 0.0776-g sample of the salt was dissolved in water, and an excess o

f sulfuric acid was added to form magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), which was filtered, dried, and weighed. Its mass was found to be 0.150 g. What is the formula of the magnesium halide

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⁻,

It took 380,000 years for electrons to be trapped in orbits around nuclei, forming the first atoms.

These were mainly helium and hydrogen, which are still by far the most abundant elements in the universe. Present observations suggest that the first stars formed from clouds of gas around 150–200 million years after the Big Bang. Heavier atoms such as carbon, oxygen and iron, have since been continuously produced in the hearts of stars and catapulted throughout the universe in spectacular stellar explosions called supernovae.

Does sodium have a positive or negative charge after ionization?
melomori [17]
After ionization, sodium gains a net positive charge cuz sodium loses its 1 valence electron to gain the nearest stable octet which is neon{Ne}. Hope it helps

In the force equation, which two variables have a direct relationship? Which two have an indirect/inverse relationship?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

if the dependent and independent variable go up its direct but if one of them goes up and another goes down its indirect

Explanation:

for example the more mass an object has the less speed it has that's indirect but the less salt you add to water the less time you have to wait for it to boil

i hope this was useful
