In the reaction Mg(s) + Br2() → MgBrz(s), what should be the coefficient for

Chemistry

Answer:

1

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.

Alloy: alloy, metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel. ... See also amalgam; ferroalloy; intermetallic compound


Ceramic: A ceramic is any of the various hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing an inorganic, nonmetallic material, such as clay, at a high temperature. Common examples are earthenware, porcelain, and brick.


Synthetic polymer: Synthetic polymers are derived from petroleum oil, and made by scientists and engineers. Examples of synthetic polymers include nylon, polyethylene, polyester, Teflon, and epoxy. ... Vulcanized rubber is a synthetic (man-made) polymer, while pectin is an example of a natural polymer

What is the heat capacity of 170 g of liquid water?
sesenic [268]
The specific heat capacity of water (which is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 degree kelvin) is given as <span>4.1813J/gK (at 25°C).

Therefore, to get the heat capacity of a certain mass (in grams), we just have to multiply this mass by the specific heat capacity of water as follows:
heat capacity of 170 g = 170 * </span><span>4.1813 = 710.821 J/K</span>

Nana76 [90]

Answer: The lowest possible whole number coefficient for water is 1.

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble  water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

The balanced chemical reation for aqueous solutions of lithium hydroxide and acetic acid react to yield lithium acetate and water is:

&#10;LiOH(aq)+CH_3COOH(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COOLi(aq)+H_2O(l)

Thus the lowest possible whole number coefficient for water is 1.
