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

Consider the intermediate chemical reactions. 2 equations. First: upper C a (s) plus upper C upper O subscript 2 (g) plus one ha
DochEvi [55]

<u>Answer:</u> When the enthalpy of this overall chemical equation is calculated, the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The overall chemical reaction follows:

CaO(s)+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)     \Delta H^o_{rxn}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) Ca(s)+CO_2(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)    \Delta H_1=-812.8kJ  

(2) 2Ca(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CaO(s)     \Delta H_2=-1269kJ

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[1\times (\Delta H_1)]+[\frac{1}{2}\times (-\Delta H_2)]

Hence, when the enthalpy of this overall chemical equation is calculated, the enthalpy of the second intermediate equation is halved and has its sign changed.

The molar mass of barium nitrate (ba(no3)2) is 261.35 g/mol. what is the mass of 5.30 × 1022 formula units of ba(no3)2? 0.0900 g
liberstina [14]

Molar mass is the ratio of the mass to that amount of the substance. The mass of the barium nitrate in the formula unit is 23.0 grams.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

The mass of a substance is the product of the molar mass of the compound and the number of moles of the compound.

Given,

Molar mass of barium nitrate = 261.35 g/mol

If, 6.022 \times 10^{23} have a mass of 261.35 g/mol then, 5.30 \times 10^{22} formula units will have a mass of,

\begin{aligned}& = \dfrac{261.35 \times 5.30 \times 10^{22}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\\&= 23.0\;\rm gm\end{aligned}

Therefore, option C. 23.0 gm is the mass of barium nitrate.

Marizza181 [45]

This is a incomplete question. The complete question is:

It takes 348 kJ/mol to break a carbon-carbon single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Round your answer to correct number of significant digits

Answer: 344 nm

Explanation:

E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}

E= energy  = 348kJ= 348000 J  (1kJ=1000J)

N = avogadro's number = 6.023\times 10^{23}

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js&#10;

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8ms^{-1}

348000=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{\lambda}

\lambda=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{348000}

\lambda=3.44\times 10^{-7}m=344nm    1nm=10^{-9}m

Thus the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 344 nm
