<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.

You're at the zoo and have a big red 1.80 L helium balloon. The barometric pressure today is 785 mmHg. Then you hear the roar of
fomenos

Answer: The volume of the balloon up there is 6.192 L.

Explanation:

Given: V_{1} = 1.80 L,    P_{1} = 785 mm Hg (mm Hg = 0.00131579) = 1.032 atm

P_{2} = 0.300 atm,       V_{2} = ?

Formula used to calculate volume is as follows.

P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}

Substitute the value into above formula as follows.

P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}\\1.032 atm \times 1.80 L = 0.300 atm \times V_{2}\\V_{2} = 6.192 L

Thus, we can conclude that the volume of the balloon up there is 6.192 L.

Which is the strongest acid listed in the table?
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Hydrofluoric acid.

Explanation:

To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:

1. Acetic acid

Ka = 1.8x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5

pKa = 4.74

2. Benzoic acid

Ka = 6.5x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5

pKa = 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid.

Ka = 6.8x10^-4

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4

pKa = 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid

Ka = 3.0x10^-8

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8

pKa = 7.52

Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.

The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:

Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa

1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74

2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52

From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.
