Balance in equation Mg plus Cl?
MgCl2
Is Mg and Cl- in MgCl2 an example of a hydrogen bond?
No. this is an example of ionic bond, not hydrogen bond
Is SiCl plus Mg---MgCl2 plus Si Balanced?
Mg + MgCl2
What is the empirical formula for magnesium oxide?
MgCl2 is the correct formula, or two atoms of Cl for each 1 atom of Mg. You could also say 2 moles of Cl atoms for every 1 mole of Mg atoms. The empirical formula should be written with the subscripts in lowest whole number terms. Note that this formula is consistent with the fact that an Mg cation is Mg+2 and a Cl anion is Cl-1. Given these charges, a formula of MgCl2 is the one with the smallest whole number subscripts that will allow the charge of the compound to be zero. See related question below for more details on how to find empirical formulas.
What is positive ion Mg and negative ion Cl chemical formula and name?
Magnesium chloride is the name for the chemical compounds with the formulas MgCl2 and its various hydrates MgCl2(H2O)x. These salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water.
Balance in equation Mg plus Cl?
MgCl2
What is the correct formula when MG and CL forms a compound?
MgCl2
What has the largest formula mass LiCl NaCl KCl MgCl2.?
MgCl2 because although K has a higher mass than Mg, the Mg compound with Cl has two atoms of Cl not one.
What is the Oxidation number of MgCl2?
+2 for Mg, -1 for each Cl
What is the formula of a compound formed when mg plus 2 and cl- react?
MgCl2 is formed. Mg2+ + 2Cl- ----> MgCl2
The percentage by mass of Mg in MgCl2 if it is 76 percent Cl by mass?
24%
What is the oxidation number of chlorine in MgCl2?
+2 for Mg, -1 for each Cl
What is the correct way to write the formula for magnesium chloride?
The synthesis equation for MgCl2 is Mg + Cl2 -> MgCl2. The decomposition reaction is MgCl2 - heat-> Mg + Cl2.
What is the element with this chemical formula MgCl2?
MgCl2 is NOT an element, but a compound (named magnesium chloride), made up of two elements Mg and Cl.
Is Mg and Cl- in MgCl2 an example of a hydrogen bond?
No. this is an example of ionic bond, not hydrogen bond
What kind of bond is mg-cl?
MgCl does not exit. It is MgCl2 which is magnesium chloride. It is made with IONIC bonds.
What does Mgco3 decomposition to?
The decomposition reaction of magnesium dichloride results in magnesium metal and chlorine gas. The reaction is MgCl2 -> Mg + Cl2.
