The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
The compound magnesium phosphate has the chemical formula Mg3(PO4)2. In this compound, phosphorus and oxygen act together as one charged particle, which is connected to magnesium, the other charged particle. What does the 2 mean in the formula 5Mg3(PO4)2? A. There are two elements in magnesium phosphate. B. There are two molecules of magnesium phosphate. C. There are two magnesium ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate. D. There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.
Answer:
There are two phosphate ions in a molecule of magnesium phosphate.
Explanation:
The compound magnesium phosphate is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds always consists of two ions, a positive ion and a negative ion.
In this case, the positive ion is Mg^2+ while the negative ion is PO4^3-.
The subscript, 2 after the formula of the phosphate ion means that there are two phosphate ions in each formula unit of magnesium phosphate.
Answer:
The average speed of the earth in its orbit is
Explanation:
The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is .
The average speed of the earth in its orbit can be found by the next equation :
(1)
Where r is the radius and T is the period.
In this case, the orbit of the Earth can be considered as a circle
() instead of an ellipse.
It takes 1 year to the Earth to make one revolution around the Sun. Therefore, its period will be 365.25 days.
Notice that to express the period in terms of seconds, the following is needed:
⇒
Then, equation 1 can be used:
The magnitude of the electrical force between a pair of charged particles is 4 Times as much when the particles are moved half as far apart.
This can be easily understood by Columb's law,
which state's that the amount of electrical force experienced by two charged particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
∴
Now, we know the new distance is half the original distance,
The electrical force of attraction or electrostatic force of attraction between two charged particles refers to the amount of attractive or repulsive force that exists between the two charges. This can be calculated by Columb's Law.
A charged particle in physics is a particle that has an electric charge. It might be an ion, such as a molecule or atom having an excess or shortage of electrons in comparison to protons. The same charge is thought to be shared by an electron, a proton, or another primary particle.
