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 overall voltage for the nonspontaneous redox reaction involving
Ann [662]

Answer:

Answer D => E°(Mg°/Cu⁺²) = 0.34 + 2.37 = 2.71v

Explanation:

(Oxidation) =>  Mg°(s) => Mg⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻    E°(Mg°/Mg⁺²) = -2.37 v

(Reduction) => Cu⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻ => Cu°(s)     E°(Cu⁺²/Cu°) = +0.34 v

________________________________________________

Net Rxn => Mg°(s) + Cu⁺²(aq) => Mg⁺²(aq) + Cu°(s)

Std Cell Potential (25°C/1Atm) = E°(Redn) = E°(Oxidn) = +0.34v - (-2.37v)

= 0.34v + 2.37v = 2.72v

The speed of light is around 6.706×10^8 miles per hour. What is the speed of light in units of miles per minute?
Sindrei [870]

<u>Answer:</u> The speed of light in miles per minutes is 1.117\times 10^7miles/min

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given the speed of light is 6.706\times 10^8miles/hr and we need to convert it into miles/min. So, we use the converion factor:

1 hour = 60 minutes

Converting that quantity into miles/minutes, we get:

(\frac{6.706miles}{1hr})(\frac{1hr}{60min})=\frac{1.117\times 10^7miles}{min}

Hence, the speed of light in miles per minutes is 1.117\times 10^7miles/min

Can the excess reactant control the percentage yield
katrin2010 [14]

Explanation:

when one reactants is in excess, there will always be some left over. The other reactants becomes limiting factor and controls show much of each product is produced.while using excess percentage yields this is at the expense of atom economy.
