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:

The specific heat of the metal is 2.09899 J/g℃.

Explanation:

Given,

For Metal sample,

mass = 13 grams

T = 73°C

For Water sample,

mass = 60 grams

T = 22°C.

When the metal sample and water sample are mixed,

The addition of metal increases the temperature of the water, as the metal is at higher temperature, and the  addition of water decreases the temperature of metal. Therefore, heat lost by metal is equal to the heat gained by water.

Since, heat lost by metal is equal to the heat gained by water,

Qlost = Qgain

However,

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

(mass) (ΔT) (Cp) = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

After mixing both samples, their temperature changes to 27°C.

It implies that , water sample temperature changed from  22°C to 27°C and metal sample temperature changed from 73°C to 27°C.

Since, Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Let Cp be the specific heat of the metal.

Substituting values,

(13)(73°C - 27°C)(Cp) = (60)(27°C - 22℃)(4.184)

By solving, we get Cp =

Therefore, specific heat of the metal sample is 2.09899 J/g℃.

A balloon contains 0.15 moles of co2 gas. how many molecules of co2 are in the balloon?
Sauron [17]
1- One mole is = 6.02 x 10^23 of anything, So one mole of atoms is 6.02x10^23.

2- when the balloon contains 0.15 moles of Co2 gas so:

the no.of molecules of Co2 = 0.15 x 6.02x 10^23

                                              = 9.0 x 10^22
