Answer: Magnesium loses electrons to form Mg^{2+}

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. Metals donate the electron and forms a positively charged ion called as cation. Non metals accept the electrons and forms a negatively charged ion called as anion.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

[Mg]:12: 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

Magnesium atom will loose one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form magnesium cation with +2 charge.

[Mg^{2+}]:10:1s^22s^22p^63s^0

Electronic configuration of bromine

[Br]:35:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^5

Bromine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form bromide ion with -1 charge.

[Br^-]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

Thus as magnesium forms a cation , it is the metal.

Which of the following possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer : The correct option is (d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH

Explanation :

<u>(a) a solution of pH 3.0</u>

First we have to calculate the pOH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-3.0=11

Now we have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

11=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-11}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-11}M

<u>(b) a solution of 0.10 M NH_3</u>

As we know that 1 mole of NH_3 is a weak base. So, in a solution it will not dissociates completely.

So, the OH^- concentration will be less than 0.10 M

<u>(c) a solution with a pOH of 12.</u>

We have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

12=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-12}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-12}M

<u>(d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH</u>

As we know that NaOH is a strong base. So, it dissociates to give Na^+ ion and OH^- ion.

So, 0.10 M of NaOH in a solution dissociates to give 0.10 M of Na^+ ion and 0.10 M of OH^- ion.

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 0.10 M

<u>(e) a 1\times 10^{-4}M solution of HNO_2</u>

As we know that 1 mole of HNO_2 in a solution dissociates to give 1 mole of H^+ ion and 1 mole of NO_2^- ion.

So, 1\times 10^{-4}M of HNO_2 in a solution dissociates to give 1\times 10^{-4}M of H^+ ion and 1\times 10^{-4}M of NO_2^- ion.

The concentration of H^+ ion is 1\times 10^{-4}M

First we have to calculate the pH.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (1.0\times 10^{-4})

pH=4

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-4=10

Now we have to calculate the OH^- concentration.

pOH=-\log [OH^-]

10=-\log [OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-10}M

Thus, the OH^- concentration is, 1.0\times 10^{-10}M

From this we conclude that, a solution of 0.10 M NaOH possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions.

Hence, the correct option is (d)

Calculate the molar concentration of the Br⁻ ions in 0.065 M MgBr2(aq).
steposvetlana [31]
MgBr2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Br⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of MgBr2 that dissolves.
MgBr2(s) --> Mg+(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)
            [Br⁻] = 0.065 mol MgBr2/1L × 2 mol Br⁻ / 1 mol MgBr2 = 0.13 M
The answer to this question is [Br⁻] = 0.13 M

Nitrogen has two isotopes. One has an atomic mass of 14.003
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

d= 14.007 amu

Explanation:

Abundance of N¹⁴ = 99.63%

Abundance of N¹⁵ = 0.37%

Atomic mass of N¹⁴ = 14.003 amu

Atomic mass of N¹⁵ = 15.000 amu

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass = (14.003 × 99.63)+(15.000× 0.37) /100

Average atomic mass =  1395.12 + 5.55 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 1400.67/ 100

Average atomic mass = 14.007 amu.
