<u>Answer:</u> The oxidation number of magnesium in magnesium chloride is +2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation number is defined as the number that is assigned to an element when it gains or looses electrons. If an element gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation number and if an element looses electron, it will attain a positive oxidation number.

The chemical formula for magnesium chloride is MgCl_2

We take the oxidation state of magnesium atom be 'x'.

Oxidation state of chlorine atom = -1

Evaluating the oxidation number of magnesium atom:

x+2(-1)=0\\\\x=+2

Hence, the oxidation number of magnesium in the given compound is +2.

Use Boyle's Law to solve the following problem. A 400 mL sample of a gas is at 10
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

v2 = 100 Ml OR 0.1 Liters

Explanation:

(400 Ml) (10 atm) = (v2) (40 atm)

4000 = 40v2

100 Ml = v2

Liters = ml / 1000

Liters = 100 / 1000

Liters = 0.1

s sample of thorium-234 has a half life of 25 days. will all the thorium undergo radioactive decay in 50 days?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

Explanation:

Half life:

A nuclear half is the time period of radioactive material in which its amount remain halved.

In given question it is stated that the half life thorium-234 is 25 days. Which means after passing the 25 days the amount of thorium must be halved of original amount.

For example,

If the original concentration was 100%, than after 25 days it will be 50%.

After 50 days amount of thorium left:

Number of half life = T (elapsed) / T half life

Number of half life = 50/25

Number of half life =  2

At first half life amount of thorium left = 100/2 = 50

After second half life amount of thorium left = 50/2 = 25

Total amount decayed = 50+25 = 75

Amount left after 50 days = 100-75 = 25

25% thorium will left after 50 days.

How many atoms of calcium, Ca would be equal to 5.472 X 104 moles Ca?
Montano1993 [528]
Answer:
             3.29 × 10²⁸ Atoms

Solution:
              Moles and Number of atoms are related to each other as,

                           Moles  =  Number of Atoms / 6.022 × 10²³   ------- (1)

Data Given;
                  Moles  =  5.472 ×10⁴

                  Number of Atoms  =  ?

Solving eq. 1 for Number of Atoms,

                        Number of Atoms  =  Moles  × 6.022 × 10²³

Putting values,

Number of Atoms  =  5.472 ×10⁴ mol × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms.mol⁻¹

Number of Atoms  =  3.29 × 10²⁸ Atoms

any time an energy conversion takes place, some of the original energy is converted to which one of the following?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Thermal energy.

Explanation:

Anytime energy transfers between 2 places or things some of it is 'wasted' as thermal energy (heat). This could be by friction or a change in temperature from a reaction. We say it is wasted because this heat energy serves no purpose.
