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.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

1. The dye that absorbs at 530 nm.

Explanation:

The dye will absorb light to promote the transition of an electron from the HOMO to the LUMO orbital.

The higher the gap, the higher the energy of transition. The energy can be calculated by E = hc/λ, in which h and c are constants and λ is the wavelength.

The equation shows that the higher the energy, the higher the gap and the lower the wavelength.

Therefore, the dye with absorption at 530 nm has the higher HOMO-LUMO gap.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, we have a problem with sending it to a landfill of copper oxide because it has harmful effect on the health of humans as well as more weight of the copper oxide. Copper oxide usually found in powder form which can easily be inhaled that causes death of the cell due to toxic effect on the mitochondria and lysosomes of the cell. It makes problem of health in carrying the copper oxide from the basement of the factory to the landfill region due to its power form so we can say that it can do problems  to human health while carrying from one place to another.

kaheart [24]
Aluminum has a chemical formula of Al, while diatomic bromine has a chemical formula of Br₂. The balanced chemical reaction is shown below:

<em>2 Al (s) + 3 Br₂ (l) → 2 AlBr₃ (s)</em>

The solid product is called Dibromoaluminum. The stoichiometric coefficients are used to balance the reaction to obey the Law of Conservation of Mass.
