Magnesium combined with chlorine.

How?

  • Look at the question .Compound has -1 charge in it .Hence it contains Halogen.
  • Looking at the options Option B and C contain Iodine and chlorine i.e halogens .

Now come to metals side.

  • Potassium has valency 1(Look the Electronic configuration below)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1

Hence it will contain +1 charge which is omitted directly .

Now come to option C.

  • Magnesium has charge +2(Look at EC below

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

Hence the compound formed is given by

\\ \sf\longmapsto MgCl_2

Hence option C is correct.

Which method of heat transfer takes place when particular of matter vibrate and collide with each other in direct contact?
Luden [163]
Conduction - by touch
Convection - hot air rises, cold air sinks
Insulation - to insulate or capture heat
Radiation - by waves
Direct contact means touch, therefore the answer would be conduction.

A substance X contains 10 gram of calcium carbonate calculate the number of mole of calcium carbonate present in X ​
Tasya [4]

\LARGE{ \boxed{  \rm{ \red{Required \: answer}}}}

☃️ Chemical formulae ➝ \sf{CaCO_3}

<h3><u>How to find?</u></h3>

For solving this question, We need to know how to find moles of solution or any substance if a certain weight is given.

\boxed{ \sf{No. \: of \: moles =  \frac{given \: weight}{molecular \: weight} }}

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Atomic weight of elements:

Ca = 40

C = 12

O = 16

❍ Molecular weight of \sf{CaCO_3}

= 40 + 12 + 3 × 16

= 52 + 48

= 100 g/mol

❍ Given weight: 10 g

Then, no. of moles,

⇛ No. of moles = 10 g / 100 g mol‐¹

⇛ No. of moles = 0.1 moles

☄ No. of moles of Calcium carbonate in that substance = <u>0.1 moles</u>
