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>

Be sure to answer all parts. Determine the electron-group arrangement, molecular shape, and ideal bond angle for the following m
choli [55]

Answer:

trigonal planar

Explanation:

The molecule SO3 is of the type AX3. The molecule is symmetrical and non polar.

There are three regions of electron density in the molecule. This corresponds to a trigonal planar geometry. This means that the three oxygen atoms are arranged at the corners of a triangle.  The bond angle is 120 degrees.

Which of the following statements is not correct?
velikii [3]
To answer the question above, multiply the given number of moles by the molar masses.

(A)     (0.20 mole) x (32 g / 1 mole) = 6.4 grams O2
(B)     (0.75 mole) x (62 g / 1 mole) = 46.5 grams H2CO3
(C)     (3.42 moles) x (28 g / 1 mole) = 95.7 grams CO
(D)     (4.1 moles) x (29.88 g / 1 mole) = 122.508 g Li2O

The answer to the question above is letter D.

Brianliest for whoever gets this right with step by step method
Sedaia [141]
The Mr is the mass numbers of each element added up so…. Fe = 56, O=16, H=1 … now add these up with the number of each element -> there’s 1 Fe, and 3 Os and 3 Hs as they are in brackets with a 3 outside-> (56+16+16+16+1+1+1=107) … your answer is 107
