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

14. Which of the following is produced when propane (C3H8) is combusted completely? (2 points)
Ymorist [56]

The following is produced when propane (C₃H₈) is combusted completely : H₂O

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Complete combustion of Hydrocarbons with Oxygen will be obtained by CO₂ and H₂O compounds.  

If O₂ is insufficient there will be incomplete combustion produced by CO and H and O  

Hydrocarbon combustion reactions (especially alkanes)  \large {\boxed {\bold {C_nH _ (_2_n _ + _ 2_) + \frac {3n + 1} {2} O_2 \Rightarrow nCO_2 + (n + 1) H_2O}}}

For combustion of propane C₃H₈ (n = 3) ⇒ completely(excess O₂) :

C₃H₈+5O₂⇒3CO₂+4H₂O

The products of combustion : CO₂ and H₂O

Consider these changes.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

(a) The system does work on the surroundings.

(b) The surroundings do work on the system.

(c) The system does work on the surroundings.

(d) No work is done.

Explanation:

The work (W) done in a chemical reaction can be calculated using the following expression:

W = -R.T.Δn(g)

where,

R is the ideal gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

Δn(g) is the difference between the gaseous moles of products and the gaseous moles of reactants

R and T are always positive.

  • If Δn(g) > 0, W < 0, which means that the system does work on the surroundings.
  • If Δn(g) < 0, W > 0, which means that the surroundings do work on the system.
  • If Δn(g) = 0, W = 0, which means that no work is done.

<em>(a) Hg(l) ⇒ Hg(g)</em>

Δn(g) = 1 - 0 = 1. W < 0. The system does work on the surroundings.

<em>(b) 3 O₂(g) ⇒ 2 O₃(g) </em>

Δn(g) = 2 - 3 = -1. W > 0. The surroundings do work on the system.

<em>(c) CuSO₄.5H₂O(s) ⇒ CuSO₄(s) + 5H₅O(g) </em>

Δn(g) = 5 - 0 = 5. W < 0. The system does work on the surroundings.

<em>(d) H₂(g) + F₂(g) ⇒ 2 HF(g)</em>

Δn(g) = 2 - 2 = 0. W = 0. No work is done.
