Answer:
In this case, a neutral atom with 12 protons will have 12 electrons. On the periodic table, the atom with 12 protons is magnesium, which is in group 2 . Therefore, it will most likely lose 2 electrons to have 10 electrons, and form a noble gas configuration. So, magnesium becomes Mg2+ .
Magnesium salt is the type of substance
Answer:
The concentration c is equal to Ka
Explanation:
The acid will ionize as observed in the following reaction:
HA = H+ + A-
H+ is the proton of the acid and A- is the conjugate base
. The equation to calculate the Ka is as follows:
Ka = ([H+]*[A -])/[HA]
Initially we have to:
[H+] = 0
[A-] = 0
[HA] = c
During the change we have:
[H+] = +x
[A-] = +x
[HA] = -x
During balance we have:
[H+] = 0 + x
[A-] = 0 + x
[HA] = c - x
Substituting the Ka equation we have:
Ka = ([H+]*[A-])/[HA]
Ka = (x * x)/(c-x)
x^2 + Kax - (c * Ka) = 0
We must find c, having as [H+] = 1/2c. Replacing we have:
(1/2c)^2 + (Ka * 1/2 * c) - (c * Ka) = 0
(c^2)/2 + Ka(c / 2 - c) = 0
(c^2)/2 + (-Ka * c/2) = 0
c^2 -(c*Ka) = 0
c-Ka = 0
Ka = c
