Answer: The correct formula is $MgBr_2$

Explanation:

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.

Here magnesium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as $Mg^{2+}$ cation and bromine $Br^{-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $MgBr_2$ .

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

Resistance depends on which properties of a wire

Paraphin [41]

Resistance depends on there properties of a wire:
- length (the longer the more resistance)
- area (the less area = more resistance and vise verse more area = less resistance)
- resistivity (the more resistivity the resistance)

Hope this helps :)

Assume a density of water of 1.00 g/mL, and calculate the mass of water in the solution

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

1g or 10^-3kg

Explanation:

as you know , the density =mass \volume

so you have the mass from the number it self

<h2> $\frac{1g}{1 ml}$ so from this equation, you will get 1 g and you can to SI to be $10^{-3}$ kg</h2>

if the waste you have contains 100.0 grams of silver nitrate, how many mols of silver nitrate is this? (Use the molar mass of th

hammer [34]

The number of moles is simply calculated by taking the ratio of mass over the molar mass. The molar mass of silver nitrate AgNO3 is 169.87 g/mol. Therefore:

number of moles AgNO3 = 100 g / (169.87 g/mol)

number of moles AgNO3 = 0.59 moles

Answer:

Connecting wires provide a medium to an electrical current so that they can travel from one point on a circuit to another. ... In a basic circuit, the wire comes from one terminal of a power source, then connects to a switch that determines whether the circuit is open or closed.
