Answer:

The correct answer is option C

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's principle "At the instant of time when the position is determined, that is, at the instant when the photon is scattered by the electron, the electron undergoes a discontinuous change in momentum. This change is the greater the smaller the wavelength of the light employed, i.e., the more exact the determination of the position. At the instant at which the position of the electron is known, its momentum therefore can be known only up to magnitudes which correspond to that discontinuous change; thus, the more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known".

Hence, this principle made scientists to realize that electrons could not be located in defined orbits which a contradictory of Bohr's model.

Magnesium reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. Write a balanced chemical equation for t

Alona [7]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation is Mg + 2HCl ⇒ MgCl2 + H2

The molarity of the hydrochloric acid solution is HCl 0.04 M and the pH = 1.4.

The volume of hydrogen gas produced by the reaction of 0.510 g of Mg will be 0.482 L.

Explanation:

First, for the balanced equation you have to consider the oxidation state of the elements to find subscripts. Then you can find the correct coeficients. Mg= +2, Cl = -1.

Mg + HCL ⇒ MgCl2 + H2

For the molarity of the solution you have to notice tha if 0.510 grams of Mg reacts with 0,5 L of hydroclhoric acid, and from the previous equation 1 mol of Mg reacts with 2 mol HCl.

The atomic mass of Mg = 24.31 grs/mol

24.31 grs------------ 1 mol Mg

0.510 grs------------ x=0.02 mol Mg.

If 1 mol of Mg reacts with 2 mol HCl, then 0.02 mol of Mg will react with

0.04 mol HCl. So, the molarity of the solution is 0.04 M HCl.

Then to calculate the pH we use the formula pH = - log [H+]

⇒ pH = -log [0.04]⇒ pH=1.4.

Finally, from the balanced equation and the findings described, and considering that at 25°C and 1.00 atm 1 mol of gas has volume of 24.1 L.

1 mol H2----------- 24.1 L

0.02 mol H2----- x= 0.482L.
