6 0

Answer:

We know based on the charges of each ion and the fact that they must always sum to 0

Explanation:

Na only has one outer electon to give so it is always +1

Mg has two outer electrons so it always gets +2

Halogens have one "missing" electron in their outer shell so they get a -1

For NaCl  (+1) + (-1) = 0

For MgI2 (+2) + 2(-1) = 0

bulgar [2K]

V1/T1 = V2 / T2

V1 = 3/4(1700) = 1275

T1 = 10 + 273.15 = 283.15

V2 = 1700

T2 = V2T1

T2 = (1700) (283.15) / 1275

T2 = 377.53 K

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

B. Aromatic

Explanation:

Functional groups are groups that differentiate a specific organic compound from others. A functional group determines the chemical property of the compound that possesses it.

For example, just like alkene and alcohol functional groups have characteristics double bond (=) and hydroxyl (OH) group respectively, the image in the attachment of this question has a BENZENE RING at the core of its structure, hence, the organic compound can be regarded to have an AROMATIC FUNCTIONAL GROUP.
