Answer:

Magnesium

Explanation:

Using the KLMN styled electronic configuration, the electronic configuration of sulphur with atomic number 16 is 2, 8,6

What this means is that it needs extra 2 electrons to fill into its M shell to attain the octet configuration.

Now let’s look at Magnesium, with atomic number 12, the electronic configuration it has is 2,8,2.

This means it has 2 extra electrons to give away so as to attain its own stability.

The sulphur atom will gladly accept the two electrons which the magnesium atom wants to give away. This makes it the perfect element to be reacted with sulphur to make it attain its octet configuration

What is the volume of 120 x 1022 molecules of nitric oxide gas, NO, at si B) 2.24L C) 0.0199 L D) 5.02 A) 1120 L
Allisa [31]

Answer: 44.8 L

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance occupies 22.4 L at STP and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Standard condition of temperature (STP)  is 273 K and atmospheric pressure is 1 atm respectively.  

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given molecules}}{\text {Avogadro's number}}=\frac{120\times 10^{22}}{6.023\times 10^{23}}=2moles

1 mole of NO occupies volume = 22.4L at STP

Thus 2 moles of magnesium react with=\frac{22.4}{1}\times 2=44.8L

Thus the volume of 120\times 10^{22} molecules of nitric oxide gas is 44.8 L.

How many carbon atoms are in 7.05 moles of pyridine
NemiM [27]
First, it is best to know the chemical formula of pyridine which is C5H5N. To determine the number of carbon atoms present in pyridine, multiply 7.05 mol C5H5N with 5 mol C/ 1 mol C5H5N which then results to 35.35 mol of carbon. Then, multiply the answer to Avogadro's number which is 6.022x10^23 atoms. It is then calculated that the number of carbon atoms in 7.05 moles of pyridine is 2.12x10^25 atoms.

Identify the compounds that are soluble in both water and hexane.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The compound which are boh soluble in water and hexane is

B. Ethanol and 1-propanol  

Explanation:

The compounds ethanol and 1-propanol are soluble in both hexane and water.

It is soluble in water as both  consists of polar end due to hydrogen bonding present in the  -OH functional group.

and both are soluble in hexane as they contain a non polar end and the alliphatic hydrocarbon chain in them.

The solubility of alcohols varies in increasing order as the hydrocarbon chain increases. And becaue of this it becomes more non polar.

Non polar properties decreases for branched molecules.

so, the correct option is ethanol and 1-propanol.
