Answer:
The 2 in the formula means that, there are 2 phosphate anions that forms the salt.
Explanation:
Magnesium phosphate is a ionic salt.
The formula indicates that 3 moles of Mg and 2 moles of anion phosphate are contained in 1 mol of compound.
3Mg²⁺ + 2PO₄⁻³ → Mg₃(PO₄)₂
The phosphate anion comes from phosphoric acid and it is generated when the acid loses the 3 protons.
H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄⁻³
Phosphate has a negative charge of -3, so when it bond to magnesium, which has a charge of +2, there must be 3 magnesium and 2 phosphate to make a global charge +6 -6 in the ions
Answer:
It is a chemical change.
Explanation:
When the electricity is off, the filament cools down to its original physical state. This physical process repeats every time the light is turned on and off. However, if the bulb is cracked and air is introduced, the oxygen in the air reacts with the tungsten filament which then undergoes a chemical change.
Answer:
X is 3-chloro-2,4-dimethylpentane
Explanation:
The radical chlorination of 2,4-dimethylpentane may give three products.
Based on the information that
i) both the products gives single alkene on elimination and
ii) both the products also undergoes SN2 reaction but Y reacts faster than X
We may conclude that as SN2 reaction is faster in primary alkyl halides as compared to secondary or tertiary so Y must be primary or secondary and it cannot be tertiary alkyl halide.
The possible products are shown in the figure.
The structure of X is shown in the figure.
