Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X

A thermometer shows that the temperature of the air in a room has increased.Which type of energy has increased?
liberstina [14]

Kinetic energy has increased.

The <em>Kinetic Molecular Theory</em> of gases states that the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature.

Thus, if the temperature of the air in a room has increased, the average kinetic energy of its molecules has increased.

What do genotype will appear in boxes 2 and 3?
VMariaS [17]
Tt is the genotype that will appear in boxes two and three.

If you look at the column and row that intersect to form boxes two and three, you will see that they are T and t. That is the best way I can describe it, sorry if it’s confusing.

Which statement is true?
AleksandrR [38]

Exothermic reaction is where there is release of energy during a reaction

The enthalpy of exothermic reaction is negative

The relation between energy of products, reactants and enthalpy of reaction is

Enthalpy of reaction =  sum of enthalpy of formation of products - sum of enthalpy of formation of reactants .

As enthalpy of reaction is negative, it means the enthalpy of products is less than the enthalpy of reactants  so answer is :

In an exothermic reaction the energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants.
