An ionic compound has a generic formula of QR2.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nina [5.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

Q= Magnesium R= Chlorine

Explanation:

The element Q should be magnesium and R is chlorine.

An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by the combination of a metal and non-metal. Such bonds forms when there is a transfer of electrons from the metals to the non-metals. This leaves a net positive charge on the metal and a negative charge on the non-metal.

The electrostatic attraction leads to the formation of the bond.

 To solve this problem, the hypothetical compound is QR₂

       Mg                        Cl

     2 8 2                    2 8 7

So, Mg transfers 2 electrons to two atoms of chlorine.

 This leads to the formation of the compound MgCl₂

<span>While treating food with gamma rays kills microorganism by damaging their DNA, the energy of gamma rays rips off electrons from atoms hence ionizing them (causing free radicals). However, gamma rays do not make the food atoms radioactive. The body has a natural mechanism of riding the body of free radicals. However, large quantities of radicals in the body can cause damage.</span>

Tollens’ test, also known as silver-mirror test, is a qualitative laboratory test used to distinguish between an aldehyde and a
Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

Tollens' reagent is prepared by using two-step process : -

Step 1:

Silver oxide is formed by mixing aqueous silver nitrate with base like sodium hydroxide. The reaction is shown below as:

AgNO_3 + NaOH &\rightarrow AgOH + NHO_3 \nonumber \\ 2AgOH &\rightarrow Ag_2O + H_2O

Step 2

Ammonia solution is drop-wise added until all the silver oxide dissolves to form the reagent. The reaction is shown below as:

Ag_2O + 4NH_3 + H_2O \rightarrow 2Ag(NH_3)_2^+ + 2OH^-

What effect does reusing or recycling municipal waste have on environmental resources? Group of answer choices increased use of
Effectus [21]

Answer:

preservation of raw materials

Explanation:

Reusing and recycling is the process by which the used products are used again or recycled in different form to use it again. Excessive use of the raw materials can lead to their extinction. Recycling the materials helps in decreasing the pollution in the environment. It also helps in reduction in the emission of the harmful gases. When municipal wastes are reused or recycled, the raw materials are preserved. These are the process involved in sustainable use of resources.

FromTheMoon [43]
I choose question 1, so molarity is the concentration of a soulution expressed as the number of moles of solute by the litress of soulution. to get molarity you divide the moles of soulute by the litress of solution. soo 1 calculate the number of moles of solute present. 2 Calculate the number of litress solution present. 3. divide the number of moles of solute by the number of litress of solution
soo 1 mol of NaOH has a mass of 40.00 g, so moles of NaOH= 26.7. 1 mole divided 40.00 = 0.375. litress of solution = 650 g. im not sure why its a g i usally do it Ls so i guess its the way your teacher wants you to do it so do you know how to do that. so molarity = moles of solute and litress solution. sorry this probably didnt help i just wanted to add something that might help. im still working on this stuff myself hope this helps.
