What is the correct formula for combining Mg2+ and Br1+
1 answer:
Answer: The correct formula is
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 cation and bromine
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
.
The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

b)15.0°C
Explanation:
Specific Heat of Water=4.2 J/g°C
This means, that 1 g of Water will take 4.2 J of energy to increase its temperature by 1°C.
∴80 g Water will take 80×4.2 J of energy to increase its temperature by 1°C.
80×4.2 J=336 J
Total Energy Provided=1680 J
The temperature increase=\frac{\textrm{Total energy required}}{\textrm{energy required to increase temperature by one degree}}
Temperature increase=
=5°C
Initial Temperature =10°C
Final Temperature=Initial + Increase in Temperature
=10+5=15°C
