Since the number of moles of a substance is the mass divided by the molar mass of the substance, we can just simply multiply the molar mass of magnesium chloride by the number of moles, which is 4.40 in this case.
To find the molar mass, refer to the periodic table for the relative atomic mass of Mg and Cl and add them together. Since there’s 2 chloride ions in MgCl2, double the relative atomic mass of Cl when adding.
24.31 + 35.45x2
=95.21
Now just multiply 95.21 to 4.40mol, which you’ll get 418.9g (corrected to 3 significant figures)
5.60 cuz I I’m dumb vendbsnksnddn
Answer:
The answer to your question is Mg loses its valence electrons and acquire a positive charge (Mg⁺²).
Explanation:
Valence electrons are important for an element to attach to another one, metals lose these electrons while nonmetals gain electrons to complete the octet rule.
Magnesium is a metal that loses these electrons so when it becomes an ion Magnesium will have a positive charge Mg⁺².
