Total mass of MgBr2- 36.9 g
Mass of Br 32.0 / total mass 36.9 = .867 = 86.7%
Mass of Mg 4.9 / 36.9 = .133 = 13.3%
There is 86.7% of Bromine and 13.3% of Magnesium in the compound MgBr2
Magnesium Bromide
Chemical symbology: Mg=magnesium. Br=bromine. Compounds containing formal oxidation state bromine are known as bromides.
The halogens would bond with magnesium in such a ration. They are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
MgBr2 (magnesium bromide) would be the most favorable reaction between magnesium and bromine.
Magnesium bromide
Magnesium Bromide MgBr2
Magnesium Bromide
Chemical symbology: Mg=magnesium. Br=bromine. Compounds containing formal oxidation state bromine are known as bromides.
Chlorine + Magnesium Bromide ----> Magnesium Chloride + Bromine
Magnesium bromide is a salt with ionic bonds.
The compound MgCl2 is known as magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride is a naturally occurring element that can be found in salt water and brine. It is used primarily for dust and ice control.
The halogens would bond with magnesium in such a ration. They are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
MgBr2 (magnesium bromide) would be the most favorable reaction between magnesium and bromine.
2Mg + Br2 ---> 2MgBr Magnesium Bromide
Magnesium bromide
The balanced equation is MgI2 + Br2 >> MgBr2 + I2....
CBr4 = carbon tetrabromide
