Explanation:

For Mg, (1.2 g Mg/24 g Mg) = 0.05 mol Mg.

For Cl, (3.55 g Cl/35.5 g Cl) = 0.1 mol Cl

So the ratio now is

Mg:Cl = 0.05 : 0.1 = 1:2

I got the 1:2 ratio by dividing both by the smallest number, which is 0.05 mol. Therefore, the empirical for formula of the substance is MgCl_2

How many ants would 6 giant anteaters need to eat in one year to get the matter and energy they need? Write a simple formula to
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

180,000 ants

Explanation:

For this problem we can create the following simple formula to solve this problem...

f(x) = 6x

where the variable x represents the number of ants that a single Anteater needs to eat per day. After a quick online search we can see that a single Anteater eats roughly 30,000 ants per day. If we use this value and plug it into the simple formula we can get the total number of ants 6 anteaters need to eat to survive.

f(x) = 6 * 30,000

f(x) = 180,000

Ionic or covalent C2H5OH
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Covalent  

Explanation:

A molecule of C₂H₅OH has C-C, C-H, C-O, and O-H bonds.

A bond between A and B will be ionic if the difference between their electronegativities (ΔEN) is greater than 1.6.

\begin{array}{ccc}\textbf{Bond} & \textbf{$\Delta$EN} & \textbf{Polarity}\\\text{C-C} & 2.55 - 2.55 = 0.00 & \text{Nonpolar covalent}\\\text{C-H} & 2.55 - 2.20 = 0.35 & \text{Nonpolar covalent}\\\text{C-O} & 3.44 - 2.55 = 0.89 & \text{Polar covalent}\\\text{O-H} & 3.44 - 2.20 = 1.24 & \text{Polar covalent}\\\end{array}

No bond has a large enough ΔEN to be ionic.

C₂H₅OH is a covalent molecule.

What is the Chemical Formula and Net Ionic Equations for all three solutions.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

As you are asking for chemical formula and ionic equation, then, I will assume that after the station #3 below, are the solutions you are requiring.

You are also not specifing if you want for example, result of solution 1 + solution 3. If you need that, please post that on another question.

Now for the chemical formula, you need to identify the elements in all 3 solutions, and also the type of compound.

<u>1. Solution 2 Potassium Iodide: </u>

In this case we have Potassium on one side, and Iodine on the other side, the symbol for those are K and l. As Potassium have the +1 oxidation state, cause is the only one that it can have, when it's next to an halide like chlorine or bromine, it will form a binary salt. The halides, usually work with the lowest oxydation state. In the case of Iodide it will be -1, so, the formula will be:

KI

And the net ionic equation will be the chemical equation that shows how the charges and atoms are balanced. In this case it would be:  

K⁺ + I⁻ ------> KI

<u>2. Solution 1 and 3, Lead (II) nitrate and Sodium carbonate: </u>

In this case I will work with both, because both of the solution are tertiary compounds. In this cases, we have two tertiary salt, The Sodium symbol is Na, and is working with it oxydation state +1. Carbonate is an anion and have the formula CO₃ working with the oxydation state -2. Lead can work with oxidation state +2 and +4. It's symbol is Pb. Nitrate is NO₃ and works with oxydation state -1 instead.

The chemical formula and ionic equation for both will be:

Lead(II) nitrate: Pb(NO₃)₂

Sodium Carbonate: Na₂CO₃

And the net equations:

Lead nitrate: Pb²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ ------> Pb(NO₃)₂

Copper sulfate: 2Na⁺ + CO₃²⁻ -------> Na₂CO₃

Hope this helps
