Answer:

an acid +metal =salt +hydrogen

Explanation:

HCL+Mg =Mgcl2+H2

(because Mg has an ion with a +2 charge ,it attracts Cl with a -2 charge )

therefore the correct answer is D for the above reasons

Answer:

When magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl), a single-replacement reaction occurs. These reactions involve the substitution of one element in a compound with another. In this case, the hydrogen in HCl will be swapped with the magnesium metal because both of these elements make cations (positively-charged ions) when they participate in ionic bonding.

So why does the chorine have a subscript of 2 when it bonds with magnesium? This occurs in order to balance the ionic charges and make the overall compound neutral.

Magnesium wants to give away 2 electrons when it ionizes, forming the cation Mg²⁺. However, chlorine only wants to gain 1 electron to fill its valence shell, making it form the anion, Cl⁻. As you can see, if just one of each ion were to bond, the compound would have an overall charge of +1 because (+2 - 1 = +1). Therefore, the compound can be made neutral if two chlorine ions bond with just 1 magnesium ion (+2 - 1 - 1 = 0).

The hydrogen ion from HCl becomes H₂ after the reaction occurs. This occurs because hydrogen generally exists as a diatomic compound in nature (diatomic = exists as 2 atoms).

The complete balanced equation for the reaction is:

Mg + 2 HCl ------> MgCl₂ + H₂

1. the purpose of the aqueous solutions in a galvanic cell is to?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

1. The correct option is;

c. maintains charge balance in the cell

2. The correct option is;

c. +3.272 V

Explanation:

The aqueous solution in a galvanic cell is the electrolyte which is a ionic solution containing that permits the transfer of ions between the separated compartment of the galvanic cell such that the overall system is electrically neutral

Therefore, the aqueous solution maintains the charge balance in the cell

2. Here we have;

B₂ + 2e⁻ → 2B⁻ Ecell = 0.662 V

A⁺ + 1e⁻ → A Ecell = -1.305 V

Hence for the overall reaction, we have;

2A + B₂ → 2AB gives;

(0.662) - 2×(-1.305) = +3.272 V.

128g of sulphur are burned in excess oxygen. What mass of sulphur dioxide forms? S + O2 --> SO2 *

Rasek [7]

Mass of Sulphur dioxide : 256 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

S + O2 --> SO2 *

Required

Mass of Sulphur dioxide

Solution

mol of Sulphur (Ar=32 g/mol) :

mol = mass : Ar

mol = 128 : 32

mol = 4

From the equation, mol ratio S : SO2 = 1 : 1, so mol SO2 = 4

Mass of SO2 :

mass = mol x MW SO2

mass = 4 x 64

mass = 256 g

In an acid-base titration, a student uses 21.35 mL of 0.150 M NaOH to neutralize 25.00 mL of H2SO4. How many moles of acid are i

GalinKa [24]

Answer: There are 0.006 moles of acid in the flask.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 21.35 mL, $M_{1}$ = 0.150 M

$V_{2}$ = 25.0 mL, $M_{2}$ = ?

Formula used to calculate molarity of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ is as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$M_{1}V_{1} = M_{2}V_{2}\\0.15 M \times 21.35 mL = M_{2} \times 25.0 mL\\M_{2} = 0.1281 M$

As molarity is the number of moles of a substance present in a liter of solution.

Total volume of solution = $V_{1} + V_{2}$

= 21.35 mL + 25.0 mL

= 46.36 mL (1 mL = 0.001 L)

= 0.04636 L

Therefore, moles of acid required are calculated as follows.

$Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}\\0.1281 M = \frac{no. of moles}{0.04635 L}\\no. of moles = 0.006 mol$

Thus, we can conclude that there are 0.006 moles of acid in the flask.
