The molecular weight of Mg(OH)2 : 58 g/mol
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Mg(OH)2 compound
Required
The molecular weight
Solution
Relative atomic mass (Ar) of element : the average atomic mass of its isotopes
Relative molecular weight (M) : The sum of the relative atomic mass of Ar
M AxBy = (x.Ar A + y. Ar B)
So for Mg(OH)2 :
= Ar Mg + 2 x Ar O + 2 x Ar H
= 24 g/mol + 2 x 16 g/mol + 2 x 1 g/mol
= 24 + 32 + 2
= 58 g/mol
NaCl or sodium chloride is composed of two metals: the cation is Na + while the anion is the Cl-. In this case, when two metals form a bond, valence electrons are transferred. NaCl is an ionic compound. In 2, upon chemical change, the properties of the compound resulting from the reaction are somewhat closely related from the elemental properties.
