What is the correct formula for combining Mg2+ and Br1+

Chemistry
1 answer:
True [87]2 years ago
6 0

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.

The pKa of chloroacetic acid is 2.9. If an organic chemist has a 0.10 M aqueous solution of chloroacetic acid at pH 2.4, what pe
Trava [24]

Answer:

The answer is given below.

Explanation:

We will consider the acid as HA and will set up an ICE table with the equilibrium dissociation of α.

AT pH 2.4 the initial H+ concentration will be 3.98^10-3 M

                      HA →              H+         +      A-

Initial concentration:  0.1    →  3.98 ^10-3       +      0

equilibrium concentration:  0.1(1-α) →   3.98 * 10-3 + 0.1α              0.1α

pKa of chloroacetic acid is 2.9

-log(Ka) = 2.9

Ka = 1.26 * 10-3

From the equation, Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]

1.26 * 10-3 = (3.98 * 10-3 + 0.1α )* 0.1α / 0.1(1-α)      

Since α<<1, we assume 1-α = 1

Solving the equation, we have: α = 0.094

Since this is the fraction of acid that has dissociated, we can say that % of base form = 100 * α= 9.4%

Researchers used a combustion method to analyze a compound used as an antiknock additive in gasoline. A 9.394 mg sample of the c
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The percent composition of the compound is 90.5 % C and 9.5 % H

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound = 9.394 mg

Mass  of CO2 yielded = 31.154 mg

Mass of H2O yielded = 7.977 mg

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles CO2

moles of CO2 = (0.031154 g / 44.01 g/mol) = 7.08 * 10^-4 mol CO2

Step 3: Calculate moles C

moles of C = moles of CO2 * (1 mol C / 1 mol CO2)

moles of C = 7.08 * 10^-4 mol

Step 4: Calculate moles H2O

moles of H2O = (0.007977 g / 18.02 g/mol) = 4.43 * 10^-4 mol H2O

Step 5: Calculate moles of H

moles of H = moles of H2O * (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O)

moles of H =  4.43* 10^-4 *2 = 8.86 * 10^-4 mol H

Step 6: Calculate mass of C

mass C = moles C * molar mass C

mass C = 7.08 * 10^-4 mol*12.01 g/mol

mass C = 0.0085 grams

Step 7: Calculate mass of H

mass H = moles H * molar mass H

mass H = 8.86 * 10^-4 mol*1.01 g/mol

mass H = 0.000894 grams

Step 8: Calculate total mass of compound =

0.0085 grams + 0.000894 grams = 0.009394 grams = 9.394 mg

Step 9: Calculate the percent composition:  

% C = (8.50 mg / 9.394 mg) x 100 = 90.5%  

% H = (0.894 mg / 9.394 mg) x 100 = 9.5%

The percent composition of the compound is 90.5 % C and 9.5 % H
