Answer: -
The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.
The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO
Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g
Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g
Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is
2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO
From the balanced equation we see that
2 Mg gives 2 MgO
2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.
28g of MgO gives
= 46.66 g of MgO.
Answer:
Explanation:
Atomic radius is the measurement from the nucleus to the outer edge of the electron cloud.
As you go down a group (vertically) the atomic radius increases because more electron shells are added. As you go across a period horizontally, the atomic radius decreases.
If we look at the halogens group (17), we see they follow this order from top to bottom:
F - Fluorine
Cl - Chlorine
Br - Bromine
I - Iodine
Since it increases down the group, iodine must have the largest atomic radius.
