Alkaline earth metal are the elements present in II group in the periodic table and are known as 'Metals' and have a charge of +2.

Alkaline earth metals - Be , Mg Ca, Sr , Ba, Ra

Halogens are present in VII A group in the periodic table and are 'Non-metals' and have a charge of -1.

Halogens - F, Cl, Br, I, At

When Alkaline earth metal (metals) combine with Halogens (non-metals) the compound formed will be ionic compound and the formula of the compound will be based on the charges of the element.

When we write the formula of the ionic compound the charges of the elements get criss crossed.

For example - Mg (Alkaline earth metal) have a charge of +2 and Cl (Halogen) have a charge of -1 and when they combine to form the formula their charges get criss crossed and we will get $Mg_{1}Cl_{2}$ or $MgCl_{2}$

When an alkaline earth metal, A, reacts with a halogen, X, the formula of the Ionic compound formed should be $AX_{2}$

a mixture of carbon and sulfur has a mass of 9.0 g. complete combustion with excess o2 gives 22.5 g of a mixture of co2 and so2.

S + O2 → SO2
z / (32.0655 g S/mol) x (1 mol SO2 / 1 mol S) x (64.0638 g SO2/mol) = (1.9979 z) g SO2 

C + O2 → CO2 
(9.0-z) / (12.01078 g C/mol) x (1 mol CO2 / 1 mol C) x (44.00964 g CO2/mol) = (32.9776 - 3.66418 z) g CO2 

Add the two masses of SO2 and CO2 and set them equal to the amount given in the problem: 
(1.9979 z) + (32.9776 - 3.66418 z) = 27.9 
Solve for z algebraically: 
z = 3.0 g S

What ions will form when baking soda is dissolved in water?

ad-work [718]

Answer:When you add baking powder to water or milk, the alkali and the acidreact with one another and produce carbon dioxide – the bubbles. Sodium bicarbonate is a weak base which is commonly known as baking soda and used in cooking. It weakly ionizes in water: NaHCO3 + H2O → H2CO3 + (OH-) + (Na+). u need to stop deleteing my answers ughh

VashaNatasha [74]

A safety data sheet is informational data that states the properties of the various chemicals. According to the SDS of NaOH, it causes irritation, nausea, eye burn, burns in the digestive system, etc.

SDS is abbreviated for a safety data sheet which is a document that provides information on the chemicals including the properties, health hazards, measures, safety, prevention, etc.

According to SDS, NaOH results in various potential acute health effects including vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, irritation, etc. The chronic effect includes coma, burns in the eye, respiratory infection, digestive system, dermatitis, etc.

Therefore, sodium hydroxide has various acute and chronic health effects.

En una estructura de concreto cuyo peso es de 8500 n se apoyo sobre un area de 25cm2,hallar la presion ejercida sobre su base

babymother [125]

Respuesta:

340 N/cm²

Explicación:

Paso 1: Información provista

Peso de la estructura (F): 8500 Newton

Area superficial (A): 25 cm²

Paso 2: Calcular la presión (P) ejercida por la estructura de concreto sobre su base

La presión es igual al cociente entre la fuerza ejercida y la superficie sobre la que se aplica.

P = F/A

P = 8500 N / 25 cm² = 340 N/cm²

N⁻³ and Na⁺ have same A Atomic no. B Mass No. C No. of electrons D No. of neutrons

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

C.) No. of electrons

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect. The atomic number represents the number of protons in an element. Nitrogen (N) and sodium (Na) always have a differing amount of protons.

B.) is incorrect. The mass number represents the number of protons and neutrons in an element. The number of neutrons and protons are specific to each element (disregarding isotopes). When elements ionize, these amounts are not altered.

C.) is correct. When an element becomes an ion, the number of electrons change. When nitrogen gains 3 electrons and sodium loses 1 electron, they end up having the same number of electrons (10).

D.) is incorrect. When elements ionize, the number of neutrons does not change. The only way two different elements could have the same number of neutrons is if at least one of the elements is an isotope. Isotopes are two or more atoms of the same element that differ in their amounts of neutrons.
