<h3>Answer:</h3>

              Ionic Bond

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                     Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the difference in electronegativity.

If, Electronegativity difference is,

               Less than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent  Bonding

               Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent  Bonding

               Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic  Bonding

For Mg and Cl,

                   E.N of Chlorine             =   3.16

                   E.N of Magnesium        =   1.31

                                                             ________

                   E.N Difference                     1.85          (Ionic Bond)

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

                   MgCl₂ being ionic in nature when dissolved in water dissociates into Magnesium and Chloride ions respectively.

Answer:

5.52atm

Explanation:

Using the pressure law formula:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the question, the following information were provided;

P1 = 4.72 atm

P2 = ?

T1 = -3.50°C = -3.50 + 273 = 269.5K

T2 = 42°C = 42 + 273 = 315K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

4.72/269.5 = P2/315

CROSS MULTIPLY

4.72 × 315 = 269.5 × P2

1,486.8 = 269.5P2

P2 = 1,486.8 ÷ 269.5

P2 = 5.52atm

If an atom has 6 valence electrons, how many electrons does it need to gain to achieve a stable electron configuration?
shusha [124]

it would need to gain 2 more for it to achieve a stable configuration

the best way to remember this is the noble gasses all have 8 valence electrons and that they are the most stable elements on the periodic table

A generic weak acid with formula HA has a Ka = 2.76 x 10-8. Calculate the Kb for the conjugate base of the acid.
Reika [66]

Answer:

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb

Explanation:

The acid equilibrium of a weak acid, HX, is:

HX + H₂O ⇄ X⁻ + H₃O⁺

Where Ka = [X⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HX]

And basic equilibrium of the conjugate base, is:

X⁻ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + HX

Where Kb = [OH⁻] [HX] / [X⁻]

To convert Ka to Kb we must use water equilibrium:

2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

Where Kw = 1x10⁻¹⁴ = [OH⁻] [H₃O⁺]

Thus, we can obtain:

Kw = Ka*Kb

Solving for Kb:

Kw / Ka = Kb

1x10⁻¹⁴ /  2.76x10⁻⁸ =

3.62x10⁻⁷ = Kb
