The synthesis equation for MgCl2 is Mg + Cl2 -> MgCl2. The decomposition reaction is MgCl2 - heat-> Mg + Cl2.
The formula of hydrochloric acid is HCl. When it reacts with magnesium metal, it forms magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2) according to this equation: 2HCl + Mg → MgCl2 + H2.
Mg has a positive 2 charge ( wants to give away 2 electrons). Cl has a negative one charge (wants to gain an electron). Since it is a bond between a non metal and metal it is a ionic bond, therefore you cross the charges. Your answer should be: MgCl2 (where the two is written as a subscript of Cl and we don't write one because it is 'understood' )
The formula for aluminum chloride is AlCl3. This formula indicates that each molecule of aluminum chloride contains one aluminum atom and three chlorine atoms.
By starting with a balanced equation. Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 when they say sufficient magnesium they imply that magnesium is in excess and HCl limits and drives the reaction, or that both are equal in molarity/mass 54.75 g HCl (1 mole HCl/36.458 g)(1 mole MgCl2/2 mole HCl)(95.21 g/1 mole MgCl2) = 71.49 grams magnesium chloride produced -----------------------------------------------------------
ZnCl2. Zinc has a positive 2 charge and chloride has a negative 1 charge. You balance the charges of zinc and chloride and you get ZnCl2
The correct formula for calcium chloride is CaCl2, which signifies that one calcium atom is bonded to two chloride atoms.
Did you want the formula? If so it is MgO.
It is indeed possible to write a correct chemical formula for copper chloride, which can exist in two primary forms: copper(I) chloride (CuCl) and copper(II) chloride (CuCl₂). The difference arises from the oxidation states of copper; in CuCl, copper has a +1 charge, while in CuCl₂, it has a +2 charge. Therefore, the appropriate formula depends on the specific oxidation state of copper being referred to.
The formula of hydrochloric acid is HCl. When it reacts with magnesium metal, it forms magnesium chloride (MgCl2) and hydrogen gas (H2) according to this equation: 2HCl + Mg → MgCl2 + H2.
Magnesium has a charge of +2 and Chloride has a charge of -1. In order to make magnesium chloride have a net charge of zero, there must be twice as much of the chloride ion than the magnesium ion. The ratio of magnesium to chloride is therefore 1:2. With this knowledge, we can write the chemical equation MgCl2.
The chemical formula for calcium chloride is CaCl2 - Ca++ ionically bonded with 2 Cl-.
The chemical symbol of helium is He; the chemical symbol of magnesium is Mg.
