What would be the mass in grams of 0.300 moles of the ionic compound formed when magnesium metal reacts with oxygen
1 answer:
Answer:
Balanced Equation for reaction between Magnesium and Oxygen:
2Mg + O₂ --> 2MgO
Molar Mass of MgO is the atomic masses listed on the periodic table for the two elements Magnesium and Oxygen. Magnesium's molar mass is 24g/mol, and Oxygen's molar mass is 16g/mol. So MgO's molar mass would be 24 + 16 = 40g/mol.
The equation to find moles is:
So if we rearrange this equation to find for mass:
So you have to multiply 0.300 moles by 40, which gives you 12g
Meaning the mass of Magnesium Oxide is 12g.

Answer: The last electron will be filled in first orbital of 3p sub-shell.
Explanation: Filling of electrons in orbitals is done by using Hund's Rule.
Hund's rule states that the electron will be singly occupied in the orbital of the sub-shell before any orbital is doubly occupied.
For filling up of the electrons in Sulfur atom having 16 electrons. First 10 electrons will completely fill according to Aufbau's Rule in 1s, 2s and 2p sub-shells and last 6 electrons are the valence electrons which will be filled in the order of 3s and then 3p.
3s sub-shell will be fully filled and the orbitals of 3p sub-shell will be first singly occupied and then pairing will take place. Hence, the last electron will be filled in the first orbital of 3p-sub-shell.
