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

Which statement is a valid conclusion about the activation energy of the reverse reaction if the forward reaction is exothermic?
babunello [35]

Answer:

e) The activation energy of the reverse reaction is greater than that of the forward reaction.

Explanation:

  • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that is required by the reactants to start a reaction.
  • An exothermic reaction is a reaction that releases heat energy to the surrounding while an endothermic reactions is a reaction that absorbs heat from the surrounding.
  • <em><u>In reversible reactions, when the forward reaction is exothermic it means the reverse reaction will be endothermic, therefore the reverse reaction will have a higher activation energy than the forward reaction.</u></em> The activation energy of the reverse reaction will be the sum of the enthalpy and the activation energy of the forward reaction.

Masteriza [31]

width=10cm

length=2xwidth=2x10=20cm

height=width/2=10/2=5

V=w*l*h=10*20*5=1000cm^3

An object's mass is less on<br> the Moon than it is on Earth.
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The mass of objects remains constant throughout the universe. This is because an object is made of he same amount of matter (atoms), no matter where you take it in the universe. If you take an object from the Earth to the moon, only the weight will change.
