Write the chemical formula of the following.
(1)Magnesium Chloride
(2) Calcium chloride
(3) Copper Nitrate
Answers
Magnesium chloride = MgCl2
Calcium chloride = CaCl2
Copper Nitrate = Cu(NO3)2
1.Magnesium Chloride
Magnesium chloride is the name for the chemical compound with the formula MgCl₂ and its various hydrates MgCl₂ₓ. Anhydrous MgCl₂ contains 25.5% elemental magnesium by mass. These salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water. The hydrated magnesium chloride can be extracted from brine or sea water. Wikipedia
Formula: MgCl2
2.Calcium Chloride
Calcium chloride is an inorganic compound, a salt with the chemical formula CaCl2. It is a white coloured crystalline solid at room temperature, and it is highly soluble in water. It can be created by neutralising hydrochloric acid with calcium hydroxide.
Formula: CaCl2
3.Copper Nitrate
Copper(II) nitrate, Cu(NO3)2, is an inorganic compound that forms a blue crystalline solid. Anhydrous copper nitrate forms deep blue-green crystals and sublimes in a vacuum at 150-200 °C. Copper nitrate also occurs as five different hydrates, the most common ones being the hemipentahydrate and trihydrate.
