Find the number of cations present in 7g of sodium prosphate Na=23 g/mol O=16g/mol P=31g/mol​

Sagot :

Answer:    This contains magnesium, Mg2+, and hydroxide, OH–

, ions. Each magnesium ion is +2 and

each hydroxide ion is -1: two -1 ions are needed for one +2 ion, and the formula for magnesium

hydroxide is Mg(OH)2. The (OH)2 indicates there are two OH–

ions. In a formula unit of

Mg(OH)2, there are one magnesium ion and two hydroxide ions; or one magnesium, two

oxygen, and two hydrogen atoms. The subscript multiplies everything in ( )
