So,

Ionic compounds are compounds composed of ions.  The following are soluble ionic compounds (they dissolve in water):

NaCl(s) --> Na⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq)
NaOH(s) --> Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The following are insoluble ionic compounds (they have low solubilities):

Al₂O₃ --> 2Al³⁺+3O²⁻
AgCl --> Ag⁺ + Cl⁻

These compounds can only be appreciably separated by melting or by dissolving them in enormous amounts of water (the concentration will still be very low).

Ionic compounds have electrons that are locked in place because of the strong ionic attractions between the ions.  A charge is produced by moving electrons.  Since the ions in melted ionic compounds are free to move, their electrons are no longer locked, allowing the ionic liquid to conduct electricity.

NaCl(s) --> Na⁺(l) + Cl⁻(l)

The answer is D.

Answer:

2HgO    →     2Hg      +  O₂

The reaction is a decomposition reaction because from one reactant two products were obtained

Explanation:

The problem here involves balancing the chemical reaction given and also classifying the reaction.

 The unbalanced expression is given as:

              HgO    →     Hg      +  O₂

Assign the alphabets a,b and c as coefficients that will balance the equation

           aHgO    →     bHg      +  cO₂

Conserving Hg: a  = b

                   O:    a  = 2c

So, let c  = 1, a  = 2 b  = 2

Therefore;

       2HgO    →     2Hg      +  O₂

The reaction is a decomposition reaction because from one reactant two products were obtained

Naturally occurring magnesium exists as three isotopes. 78.70% is Mg-24 with a mass of 23.98504 amu, 10.13% is Mg-25 with a mass
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 24.31 amu.

Explanation:

The formula for finding the average atomic mass = The sum of the percentage abundance of isotopes × the actual mass of isotopes

The average atomic mass = % abundance of Mg-24 × actual mass + % abundance of Mg-25 × its actual mass + % abundance of Mg-26 × its actual mass

Avg. Atomic mass = 0.7870 × 23.98504 + 0.1013 × 24.98584 + 0.1117 × 25.98259

Avg. atomic mass = 18.88 + 2.53 + 2.90 = 24.31 amu

The atomic mass of magnesium is 24.31 amu.
