<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u><em>According to formula, magnesium gives electron forming a cation which is the property of metals according to periodic table.</em></u>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Mg has a valency of two electrons which means it has two electron in the valence shell. It gives two electrons to an oxygen atom which becomes a anion.
  • They form two ionic bond forming MgO.
  • And the atoms of valency two are present in 2nd column which contains metals.
  • Hence from formula, it can be known that Mg is a metal.

Calculate the hydroxide ion consentration of a solution with pH = 3.25. show all calculations leading to your answer.
lidiya [134]
First you calculate the pOH of the solution:

pH+ pOH = 14

3.25 + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - 3.25

pOH = 10.75

<span>Concentration of [OH]</span>⁻<span> in solution:
</span>
[ OH⁻ ] = 10 ^{-pOH}

[ OH⁻ ]  = 10^ - 10.75

[OH⁻] = 1.778 x 10⁻¹¹ M

hope this helps !
