A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.
A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.
The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.
Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.
They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).
Answer:
Explanation:
a. the salt produced would be Mg3N2(magnesium nitride)
b. magnesium loses 2 electron to form Mg2+ ion and nitrogen gains 3 electron to form n3-
when several of these ions come together 3 Mg2+ ion combine with 2 n3- ion to form Mg3N2 thus Mg getting six electron from nitrogen to form a ionic bond.
c. the reaction is not balanced Mg + N2 = Mg3n2
to make it balanced the reaction should be 3 Mg + N2 = Mg3N2.
the reaction was not balanced before because the number of Mg on both side of the reaction was not equal.
d. magnesium nitrate has formula Mg(NO3)2 is formed when Mg combines with nitrogen and oxygen Mg + N2 + o2
Answer:
The following reaction will occur at cathode:
Explanation:
The two half reaction during electrolysis of aqueous nickel sulfate will be
a) anode reaction :
Water will undergo oxidation and will evolve oxygen gas at anode as shown in the given reaction:
b) Cathode reaction: The reduction of Nickel ion will occur by gain of two electrons as shown in the given equation:
Thus the overall reaction will be:
