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.

50.0 mL of a solution of HCl is combined with 100.0 mL of 1.05M NaOH in a calorimeter. The reaction mixture is initially at 22.4
VikaD [51]

Answer:

2.1 M is the molarity of the HCl solution.

Explanation:

HCl+NaOH\rightarrow H_2O+NaCl

Molarity of HCl solution = M_1=?

Volume of HCl solution = V_1=50.0mL

Ionizable hydrogen ions in HCl = n_1=1

Molarity of NaOH solution = M_2=1.05 M

Volume of NaOH solution = V_2=100.0 mL

Ionizable hydroxide ions in NaOH = n_2=1

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2 (neutralization )

M_1=\frac{M_2V_2}{V_1}=\frac{1.05M\times 100.0 mL}{50.0 mL}

M_1=2.1 M

2.1 M is the molarity of the HCl solution.

One lap of an engineered hamster track measures 255 cm. To run 10. meters, how many laps should the hamster run? Report your ans
Maru [420]

Answer:

3.9 laps

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Length of the hamster track (L): 255 cm

Total distance to be run (D): 10 m

Step 2: Convert "D" to centimeters

We will use the relationship 1 m = 100 cm.

10 m × (100 cm/1 m) = 1.0 × 10³ cm

Step 3: Calculate the number of laps (n) that the hamster should run

We will use the following expression.

n = D/L

n = 1.0 × 10³ cm/255 cm

n = 3.9
