An equal number of moles of KI (potassium iodide) and MgI2 (magnesium iodide) are dissolved in equal volumes of water.

SOVA2 [1]

<span> As we know that MgI2 (magnesium iodide) when dissociated it gives more ions than the KI so it has more boiling point as its boiling point is high it means that it boils more so it has low vapor pressure and freezing point

On the other hand as we know that KI dissociates into two ions so so it has high freezing and vapor pressure

Na+ and Cl- __________ ___________________________ Na+ and PO4 3- __________ ___________________________ Na+ and SO4 2- ________

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

What is the change in atomic number when an atom emits a beta particle?

salantis [7]

When an atom emits a beta particle from the nucleus, the nucleus only has one more proton and one less neutron and this will make the atomic mass number remains unchanged while the atomic number increases by 1.

A balanced chemical reaction obeys the law of...

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: (C) conservation of matter

Solution: Law of conservation of matter or mass states that' total mass of the reactants should always be equal to the total mass of the product that is the total mass is remained conserved in a chemical reaction.

A balanced chemical equation always follow this law.

For example:

$2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)$

Mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

Mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol

Total mass on the reactants = 2(2×1)+(2×16)= 36g/mol

Total mass on the product side = 2[(2×1) +16] = 36 g/mol

As,

Mass on reactant side = Mass on the product side

Therefore, a balanced chemical reaction follows Law of Conservation of mass.
