An unknown compound has the following chemical formula: mg_xcl_2

where x stands for a whole number.

measurements also show that a certain sample of the unknown compound contains 6.80 mol of magnesium and 13.56 mol of chlorine.

write the complete chemical formula for the unknown compound.

Explanation:

Given parameters:

number of moles magnesium = 6.80mol

number of moles of chlorine = 13.56mol

To find the complete chemical formula, we should obtain the formula of the compound.

                                Mg                            Cl

Number of

moles                      6.8                           13.56

Dividing

by the smallest      6.8/6.8                    13.56/6.8

                                    1                                2

  The formula of the compound is MgCl₂

This is an ionic compound in which Magnesium loses two electrons that would be gained by Cl atoms requiring just an electron each to complete their octet.

most likely he is cheating on you

i think the answer is terrae but not 100 percent sure. ▓▬▬ §
