Answer:

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).

The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.

The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to  attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.

The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

K₂CrO₄ + ( COONa )₂ + 2BaCl₂ = Ba CrO₄ + ( COO ) ₂ Ba + 2 KCl + 2 NaCl

.033 M             .053 M    

Ksp of   Ba CrO₄  is      2.10×10⁻¹⁰

Ksp of ( COO ) ₂ Ba  is   1.30×10⁻⁶

A ) Ksp of   Ba CrO₄ is less so it will precipitate out first .

B) Ksp = 2.10×10⁻¹⁰

Ba CrO₄ = Ba⁺²  +  CrO₄⁻²

                   C            .033

C x   .033  = 2.10×10⁻¹⁰

C =  63.63 x 10⁻¹⁰ M

Ba⁺² must be present in concentration = 63.63 x 10⁻¹⁰ M

C)

90% of precipitation of barium oxalate

concentration of oxalate to precipitate out = .9 x .0532 = .04788

( COO ) ₂ Ba  =  (COO)₂⁻²     +       Ba⁺²

                           .04788 M            C  

C x  .04788  =  1.30×10⁻⁶

C = 27.15  x 10⁻⁶ M .

Ms. Block's students are studying chemical reactions as well as the law of conservation of matter. A classic reaction occurs whe
goblinko [34]

The answer is; C

Conservation of matter in a reaction means that the mass of matter in the products is equal to the mass of the reactants. Energy/matter cannot be created or destroyed but converted from one form to another.

An expanding balloon with the increased evolution of gas is a good visible practical sign in the experiment on the conservation of matter in the reaction. As the magnesium disappears with an increased input of hydrochloric acid, the balloon gets bigger showing that more hydrogen is evolved from the reaction;

2HCL + Mg  MgCl2 + H2
