Answer:

A.  Ionic—Magnesium will give 2 electrons to oxygen, and both will become ions.

Explanation:

An ionic bond will form between the ions of both atoms. Ionic bonds forms when there is transfer of electrons between two atoms so as to achieve a noble configuration.

In the given problem, magnesium is a metal and highly electropositive. This implies that it will readily donate its valence electrons. Oxygen on the other hand is highly electronegative, to complete its outer shell configuration, it requires just two more electrons.

The transfer of the two electrons to the oxygen atom sets up an electrostatic force of attraction between the two ions and an ionic bond results.

Answer:

pH value of a solution depends on the concentration of hydrogen ions

(pH = -log[H+(aq)].

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid, while ethanoic acid is a weak acid. Strong acids ionize completely in water (to give ions which includes H+(aq)), while weak acids only ionize partially in water.  

Therefore, even if both hydrochloric acid and ethanoic acid are monobasic acids (each molecule can ionize completely to give 1 hydrogen ion), since hydrochloric acid ionizes completely in water and ethanoic acid does not ionize completely, the concentration of hydrogen ions in hydrochloric acid is higher than that of ethanoic acid, leading to a lower pH value for hydrochloric acid, while higher for ethanoic acid.

g n the Ideal Gas Law lab, how is the temperature of the hydrogen gas determined? Select one: The pressure of the gas is determi
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The volume of the gas is determined, which will allow you to calculate the temperature.

Explanation:

According to Charles law; the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.

This implies that, when the volume of an ideal gas is measured at constant pressure, the temperature of the ideal gas can be calculated from it according to Charles law.

Hence in the Ideal Gas Law lab, the temperature of an ideal gas is measured by determining the volume of the ideal gas.

What is amu of 99 % H-1, .2% H-1 and .8% H-3
ankoles [38]

The average atomic mass of your mixture is 1.03 u .

The average atomic mass of H is the weighted average of the atomic masses of its isotopes.  

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its % abundance).  

Thus,  

0.99    × 1.01 u = 0.998 u

0.002 × 2.01 u = 0.004 u

0.008 × 3.02 u = <u>0.024 u</u>

            TOTAL =  1.03   u

You burn a 15g jellybean to warm 50 mL of water, which increases the temperature of the water 25 °C. How many calories of heat a
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Q = 375\,cal

Explanation:

The quantity of heat transfered from the jellybean to the water is:

Q = \rho\cdot V \cdot c\cdot \Delta T

Q = \left(1\,\frac{g}{cm^{3}}\right)\cdot (15\,cm^{3})\cdot \left(1\,\frac{cal}{g\cdot ^{\circ} C} \right)\cdot (25\,^{\circ}C )

Q = 375\,cal
