Answer:

$MgF_2$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since, when we see an ionic binary salt like that formed by magnesium (metal) and fluorine (nonmetal), in order to set up the correct molecular formula we need to check out the periodic table in order to identify the suitable oxidation states, since metals remain positively charged as they lose electrons and nonmetals negatively charged as they gain electrons.

In such a way, since the oxidation state of magnesium is +2 and that of fluorine is -1 we write:

$Mg^{2+}F^-$

Next, we need to exchange the oxidation states as subscripts without the charge to obtain:

$MgF_2$

Which is the corrected molecular formula for magnesium fluoride.

Best regards!

a sample of tetrachloroethylene, a liquid used in dry cleaning that is being phased out because of its potential to cause cancer

Darina [25.2K]

The density of the liquid at the given temperature is 1.622 g/mL

<h3>What is density? </h3>

The density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as

Density = mass / volume

<h3>How to determine the density </h3>

The density of the liquid can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mass of liquid = 40.55 g
Volume of liquid = 25 mL
Density of liquid =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 40.55 / 25

Density of liquid = 1.622 g/mL

2.50g of a certain Compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 12

Art [367]

Answer:

Molecular Formula = C₁₀H₈

Explanation:

Step 1: <u>Calculating Moles for each Element:</u>

C = Mass of CO₂ × (1 mol of CO₂÷ M.Mass of CO₂) × (1 mol of C ÷ 1 mol of CO₂)

C = 8.60 g × (1 mol of CO₂÷ 44.011 g.mol⁻¹) × (1 mol of C ÷ 1 mol of CO₂)

C = 0.1954 mol

H = Mass of H₂O × (1 mol of H₂O ÷ M.Mass of H₂O) × (2 mol of H ÷ 1 mol of H₂O)

H = 1.41 g × (1 mol of H₂O ÷ 18.106 g.mol⁻¹) × (2 mol of H ÷ 1 mol of H₂O)

H = 0.1557 mol

Step 2: <u>Calculate the Smallest whole number ratio as,</u>

C H

0.1954 0.1557

0.1954/0.1557 0.1557/0.1557

1.25 1

Multiply ratio by 4,

5 4

Result:

Empirical Formula of Propane is C₅H₄

Step 3: <u>Calculate Molecular Formula:</u>

Molecular formula is calculated by using following formula,

Molecular Formula = n × Empirical Formula ---- (1)

Also, n is given as,

n = Molecular Weight / Empirical Formula Weight

Molecular Weight = 128.0 g.mol⁻¹

Empirical Formula Weight = 5 (C) + 4 (H) = 64 g.mol⁻¹

So,

n = 128.0 g.mol⁻¹ ÷ 64 g.mol⁻¹

n = 2

Putting Empirical Formula and value of "n" in equation 1,

Molecular Formula = 2 × C₅H₄

Molecular Formula = C₁₀H₈

The degree of polarity of diatomic molecules is directly related to the difference in _____.

Crank

The degree of polarity of diatomic molecule is related to the difference of electronegativity of the two atoms. If the difference is very large, i.e. one atom is highly electronegative and the other atom is highly electropostive then, the covalent bond is formed. But if the difference between the electronegativities is very less, then its likely that ionic bond is formed.
