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.

What is the theoretical yield of methanol (CH3OH) when 12.0 grams of H2 is mixed with 74.5 grams of CO? CO + 2H2 CH3OH
AlladinOne [14]
1) We need to convert 12.0 g of H2 into moles of H2, and <span> 74.5 grams of CO into moles of CO
</span><span>Molar mass of H2:    M(H2) = 2*1.0= 2.0 g/mol
Molar mass of CO:   M(CO) = 12.0 +16.0 = 28.0 g/mol

</span>12.0 g  H2 * 1 mol/2.0 g = 6.0 mol H2
74.5 g CO * 1 mol/28.0 g = 2.66 mol CO

<span>2) Now we can use reaction to find out what substance will react completely, and what will be leftover. 

                                  CO       +         2H2   ------->      CH3OH  
                                 1 mol              2 mol
given                        2.66 mol          6 mol (excess)

How much
we need  CO?           3 mol              6 mol

We see that H2 will be leftover, because for 6 moles H2  we need 3 moles CO, but we have only 2.66 mol  CO.
So, CO will react completely, and we are going to use CO to find  the mass of CH3OH.

3)                              </span>CO       +         2H2   ------->      CH3OH  
                                 1 mol                                        1 mol
                                2.66 mol                                    2.66 mol

4) We have 2.66 mol CH3OH
Molar mass CH3OH : M(CH3OH) = 12.0 +  4*1.0 + 16.0 = 32.0 g/mol

2.66 mol CH3OH * 32.0 g CH3OH/ 1 mol CH3OH =  85.12 g CH3OH
<span>
Answer is </span>D) 85.12 grams.

Calculate the amount of heat released when 27.0 g H2O is cooled from a liquid at 314 K to a solid at 263 K. The melting point of
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer : The amount of heat released, 45.89 KJ

Solution :

Process involved in the calculation of heat released :

(1):H_2O(l)(314K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(273K)\\\\(2):H_2O(l)(273K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(273K)\\\\(3):H_2O(s)(273K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(263K)

Now we have to calculate the amount of heat released.

Q=[m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]+\Delta H_{fusion}+[m\times c_{p,s}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]

where,

Q = amount of heat released = ?

m = mass of water = 27 g

c_{p,l} = specific heat of liquid water = 4.184 J/gk

c_{p,s} = specific heat of solid water = 2.093 J/gk

\Delta H_{fusion} = enthalpy change for fusion = 40.7 KJ/mole = 40700 J/mole

conversion : 0^oC=273k

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get

Q=[27g\times 4.184J/gK\times (314-273)k]+40700J+[27g\times 2.093J/gK\times (273-263)k]

Q=45896.798J=45.89KJ     (1 KJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, the amount of heat released, 45.89 KJ
