Question is incomplete. Complete question is attached below
.............................................................................................................................

Answer: Option A: HCO3-(aq.)

Reason:
From the reaction, it can be seen that following reaction occurs in forward direct

HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) → H2CO3(aq) + OH-(aq)

In above forward reaction, HCO3- accepts proton from H2O to generate H2CO3. Thus, according to Lowry and Bronsted theory of acid-base, HCO3- is a base, while H2CO3 is a conjugate acid.

3. Once magnesium (Mg) gives up electron(s) to become an ion, it will become

xeze [42]

Answer:

Option B. Cation that is smaller than the original atom.

Explanation:

Magnesium is a divalent element. This implies that magnesium can give up 2 electrons to become an ion (cation) as shown below:

Mg —> Mg²⁺ + 2e¯

Next, we shall write the electronic configuration of magnesium atom (Mg) and magnesium ion (Mg²⁺). This can be written as follow:

Mg (12) = 2, 8, 2

Mg²⁺ (10) = 2, 8

From the above illustration, we can see that the magnesium atom (Mg) has 3 shells while the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) has 2 shells.

This simply means that the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) i.e cation is smaller that the original magnesium atom (Mg).

What change would increase the amount of gas able to be dissolved in a given amount of liquid water?

butalik [34]

It would be the change in pressure that would <span>increase the amount of gas able to be dissolved in a given amount of liquid water. Increasing the pressure of a system would allow more gas to be dissolved into a liquid. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Which of the following required Bohr's model of the atom to need modification ? A. Energies of electrons are quantized. B. Quant

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Electrons do not follow circular orbits around the nucleus

Explanation:

Bohr's model of the atom is a combination of elements of quantum theory and classical physics in approaching the problem of the hydrogen atom. According to Neils Bohr, stationary states exist in which the energy of the electron is constant. These stationary states were referred to as circular orbits which encompasses the nucleus of the atom. Each orbit is characterized by a principal quantum number (n). Energy is absorbed or emitted when an electron transits between stationary states in the atom.

Sommerfeld improved on Bohr's proposal by postulating that instead of considering the electron in circular orbits, electrons actually orbited around the nucleus in elliptical orbits, this became a significant improvement on Bohr's model of the atom until the wave mechanical model of Erwin Schrödinger was proposed.
