 Hence, it is less preferrable to choose an isotope to enter your body, which will emit radioactivity for a long time, so we tend to choose isotopes, the radioactivity of which ceases quickly, so that the least possible amount of damage is caused to the cells

Chemical reactions forming ions _____.
Sergeu [11.5K]
The answer should be <span>balance electrically

</span><span>Chemical reactions that form ions should have a balanced charge. The example of the reaction is HCl. When forming ions, the equation should be:
HCl => </span>H^{+} + Cl^{-}
In this case, the hydrogen has one plus charge and chlorine has one negative charge. The resultant should be zero, so it's balanced.

Determine whether each of the descriptions of matter describes a heterogeneous mixture, a homogeneous mixture, or a pure substan
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer: a. two substances present; two phases present  : Heterogeneous mixture

b. two substances present; one phase present : Homogeneous mixture

c. one substance present; one phase present : pure substance.

d. one substance present; two phases present: Heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

A pure substance is a substance which contains definite composition of only one type of component. Hence, it cannot be separated by physical means.

Mixture is a substance which contains two or more than two types of components and they can be separated by physical means as well.

Homogeneous mixtures: It is a mixture that has uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are not different. There is no physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

Heterogeneous mixtures: It is a mixture that has non-uniform composition throughout the solution and the particle size or shapes are also different.  There is a physical boundary between the dispersed phase and dispersion medium.

2MG+O2 ...........2MGO
Galina-37 [17]
Mg + 1/2 O2 → MgO

1 mol = 24 g of Mg

X mol = 12 g of Mg

x = 0.5 moles of Mg

Mg :MgO = 1:1 (coefficient from equations using mole ratio)

So

0.5 moles of MgO

1 mol MgO = (24+16) g = 40 g

0.5 moles of MgO = 0.5 × 40

= 20 g of MgO produced
