It is MgCl₂ because the total positive charge on Mg is two

Explanation:

The bond between the atoms that makes up the formula unit of the compound is an ionic bond. This bond involves the transfer of electrons between atoms.

Mg is in the second group on the period on the periodic table. It has two valence electrons and would readily lose it to have a stable atomic configuration like those of noble gases. This leaves magnesium with a net positive charge of 2. Each chlorine atom gains one electron to achieve their own octet.

water at room temperature is flowing through a pipe with pressure taps located 10 ft apart along one section of the pipe, which are connected to a mercury (s=13.6) manometer.

a). in this case, dh> 0 and sd> 0. if t becomes larger, the term "-tds" will become more negative. at some point, it is possible that -dts will be more negative than the dh is positive, and the reaction will become spontaneous. this is probably the correct answer, but you should look at all of the other possibilities and make sure of that.
