Answer:

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Mg + Br₂ → MgBr₂

Balanced chemical equation:

Mg + Br₂ → MgBr₂

Left hand side Right hand side

Mg = 1 Mg = 1

Br = 2 Br = 2

There are one Mg and 2 Br atoms on both side of equation thus this equation is balanced. Thus coefficient with bromine is 1.

Mg is present in group 2 it loses two valance electrons and get +2 oxidation state. Bromine is present in group 17 have 7 valence electrons. Thus one bromine atom need only one electron to complete the octet that's why two bromine atoms will attached with one magnesium atom to cancel the charge +2 and make the compound neutral.

What is the initial temperature (°C) of a system that has the pressure decreased by 10 times while the volume increased by 5 tim

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

300K

Explanation:

Given pressure of the system decreased by 10 times which means $P_{2} =\frac{P_{1} }{10}$

Given the volume of the system increased by 5 times which means $V_{2} =5\times V_{1}$

Given final temperature $T_{2}=150K$

Let the initial temperature be $T_{1}$

We know that PV=nRT

As n and R are constant $\frac{PV}{T}=constant$

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1} }{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

$T_{1} =\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2V_2} T_{2}$

$T_{1} =2\times T_{2}$

T1=300K

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Under the earth's surface, rocks melt, metamorphize, and crystalize.
