Answer: The correct formula is 
Explanation:
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here magnesium is having an oxidation state of +2 called as
cation and bromine
is an anion with oxidation state of -1. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral
.
The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.
Answer:
162.2 g/mol
Explanation:
Molar mass is defined as the mass in 1 mole of the substance. It is calculated by adding the molar mass of the substituents each multiplied by the subscript they have in the formula.
Thus, To calculate molar mass of nicotine having formula, 
Molar mass of C = 12.0107 g/mol
Molar mass of H = 1.00784 g/mol
Molar mass of N = 14.0067 g/mol
Thus, molar mass of nicotine =
= 162.2 g/mol
