It has a decrease in oxidation number

The process of reduction is when the oxidation number of a chemical specie is lowered, or when the specie gains electrons. A chemical specie undergoing reduction will act as an oxidizing agent, because it will oxidize the other reactant by itself getting reduced.

Which corresponds to the composition of the ion typically formed by magnesium?
nekit [7.7K]
The ion composition of Magnesium is 12,10, 2+.
Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and an atomic number 12, it has 12 protons, and 12 electrons with a chemical configuration of 2:8:2. It requires to loose two electrons to form a stable configuration forming a cation (positively charged ion) with a charge of +2 and  a configuration of 2:8 ( 12 protons and 10 electrons).

1. According to Le Châtelier's principle, an increase in temperature will shift the equilibrium position toward the products in
sdas [7]

Answer:

1. True

2. Shift it toward the side with lower total mole concentration

3. It will shift toward the product side as there are a fewer number of moles of gas on the product side.

Explanation:

1.

An endothermic reaction is reaction that will absorb energy from the surrounding arena. Increasing temperature will increase the heat of the system. Since the average heat of the surrounding is higher, it will be easier to do an endothermic reaction than exothermic, so this will shift the equilibrium position toward endothermic reaction.

2.

When pressure increase, the molecule will harder to expand. This mean reaction that produces more molecules will be harder to happen since it will take more room and increase the pressure further. This will make the equilibrium shift toward the side with lower total mole concentration since it will help to make more room, thus making the pressure lower.

3.

Remember that only the gas form will contribute to the pressure of the system. In this reaction, there are 3 kinds of gas: nitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia. Since all form in this reaction gas, you can calculate them all.

On the left side, we have 1 nitrogen and 3 hydrogen so the total is 4.

On the right side, we have 2 ammonia so the total is 2.

When pressure decrease, the equilibrium will shift toward the side with lower total mole concentration, which is the ammonia side. So, the reaction will shift to the product side.

PLEASE HELP ME!
Leto [7]
He was brought to be believe that the earth was geocentric, meaning the earth was centered and everything orbited around it but he then published his work saying that is was heliocentric. So in the end believed in heliocentric. Let me know if this helped.
