Answer:

Explanation:

Magnesium when it oxidizes has a valence of 2.

Oxygen, when it mixes with something, has a valence of - 2

So Mg and O2 will form something, but what? The answer is MgO

Mg + O2 ===> MgO

To balance this equation, you need 2 Magnesiums on the right and 2 Oxygens also on the right. The left will need a  two Magnesiums.

The balanced equation will be

2Mg + O2 ====> 2MgO

Maurinko [17]
Barium has a 2+ charge as it is in group 2 in the periodic table and so it has two electrons in its outer shell and chloride has a -1 charge on its chloride ion. So we will need two of the chloride ions as we have a 2+ charge to match the amount of charge on one barium ion- forming barium ion

List the protons, neutrons, and electrons for Ge2+<br> Please hurry
Nady [450]

Answer:

32, 30 and 41

Explanation:

The problem here is to find the number of:

    Protons, neutrons and electrons in Ge²⁺

In this ion,

   We must understand that for a net positive charge to remain on an atom, the number of protons must be greater than the number of electrons.

Ge is Germanium with atomic number of 32;

So the number of protons is 32

Since the atom has lost two electrons;

  Number of electrons now is 32  - 2 = 30

Number of neutrons is 41 from the periodic table.

"A solution with a total volume of 850.0 mL contains 43.5 g Mg(NO3)2. If you remove 25.0 mL of this solution and then dilute thi
ycow [4]

Answer: C = 0.014M

Explanation:

From n= m/M= CV

m =43.5 M= 148, V=850ml

43.5/148= C× 0.85

C= 0.35M

Applying dilution formula

C1V1=C2V2

C1= 0.35, V1= 25ml, C2=?, V2= 600ml

0.35× 25 = C2× 600

C2= 0.014M

jolli1 [7]
Pressure has no effect on the solubility of KNO3 in water. This is because it is solid in liquid type of solution. In solid in liquid type of solution, solid is solute (minor component), liquid is solvent (major component). For solid in liquid type of solutions, solubility is independent of pressure. 

On other hand, pressure has a pronounced effect on the solubility of gas in liquid type solutions. In such system, gas is solute (minor component) and liquid is solvent (major component). Example of such solution is aerated water. Herein, CO2 is dissolved in water. In such gas in liquid type of solutions, solubility increases with increasing pressure.
