Answer:

B. Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O.

Explanation:

Metals react by loosing electrons while non metals react by gaining electrons.

Reactions occur as each element strives to attain an octet electron configuration in the outer energy level.

It is easier for magnesium to loose 2 electrons than to gain six because loosing the two requires less energy.

Oxygen on the other hand reacts by gaining the two electrons lost by magnesium since it is easier to gain the two than to loose the six. Gaining the two electrons for oxygen requires less energy than loosing the six.

In summary, magnesium looses two electrons that are transferred to oxygen.

What mass of the protein gelatin is needed to make 0.5 L of a 3 g/L gelatin solution? Show your work.
REY [17]

Answer:

m = 1.5 gram

Explanation:

Given that,

Density of protein gelatin, d = 3 g/L

The volume of protein gelatin, V = 0.5 L

We need to find the mass of the protein gelatin. The density of an object is given by :

d = m/V

Where

m is mass

m=d\times V\\\\m=3\ g/L\times 0.5\ L\\\\m=1.5\ g

So, the required mass is 1.5 gram.
