The chemical formula for the compound magnesium perchlorate is Mg(ClO₄)₂
Magnesium perchlorate or Mg(ClO₄)₂ is an ionic compound.
Perchlorate here is an anion which is represented by ClO₄⁻. Perchlorate is a polyatiomic anion, where one Cl atom is bonded to four O atoms.
The magnesium cation is represented by Mg²⁺
So one Mg²⁺ cation combines with two ClO₄⁻ anion to form one molecule of Mg(ClO₄)₂
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Let us recall that the basic rule in writing balanced chemical reaction equations is that the number of atoms of each element on the right hand side of the reaction equation is the same of the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side of the reaction equation.
The reaction of red hot iron and steam is written as follows;
3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2.
The decomposition reaction of ammonium dichromate is written as;
(NH4)2Cr2O7 → N2 + Cr2O3 + 4H2O
Reaction of aluminium, sodium hydroxide and water is as follows,
2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O ----> 2NaAlO2 + 3H2
Reaction of potassium bicarbonate with sulphuric acid;
2KHCO3 + H2SO4 -------> K2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2
Reaction of zinc and sodium hydroxide is as follows;
Zn + 2NaOH→Na2ZnO2 + H2
Note that
The heating value of standard coal is about 30,080 kJ/kg
1 L of water has a mass of 1.0 kg
The mass of 15 L of water = 15 kg.
The latent heat of vaporization of water is about 2260 kJ/kg,
The energy required to boil 15 L of water is
(2260 kJ/kg)*(15 kg) = 33900 kJ
The mass of coal required to provide this energy is
(33900 kJ)/(30080 kJ/kg) = 1.127 kg
Because 1 kg = 2.205 lb, the mass of coal required is
(1.127 kg)*(2.205 lb/kg) = 2.485 lb
Answer: 2.49 lb (nearest hundredth)
Answer:
a) alkali metals
Explanation:
The element described above definitely belonged to the alkali metals, the first group on the periodic table. They show the properties indicated in the text.
- They are metals because only metals are lustrous and malleable. This eliminates the possibility of them being halogens and noble gases.
- Only group 1 metals reacts vigorously with water to form alkali.
- Alkali are aqueous solutions that are basic in nature.
- The reactivity of group 1 metals is due to their one extra electrons in the outer most shell.
- These electrons are easily and readily lost in order for such atoms to gain stability and replicate the nearest noble gases.
- The most reactive metal belongs to this group elements.
- This is why it is nearly impossible to find them occurring alone in free state.
- Some of the elements in this group are Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and Fr.
- Transition metals have variable oxidation states and some can be found alone in nature.
Answer:
Detail is given below.
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
4NH₃ + 3O₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O
This reaction shows that when ammonia react with oxygen it form water and nitrogen gas.
There are two reactants on left hand side oxygen and ammonia. Ammonia is formed when nitrogen and hydrogen react. While on right hand side there are two products nitrogen and water. Water is formed by the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen.
The given reaction also shows that it follow the law of conservation of mass.
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
