Answer : The correct option is, (2) Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O because the formula is MgO.

Explanation :

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

As we know that the magnesium is an alkali metal and has 2 valence electron and oxygen is a non-metal and has 6 valence electrons.

As we know that magnesium atom can donates 2 electrons to a oxygen atom to complete an octet then it forms an ionic compound that is magnesium oxide (MgO).

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, MgO

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in MgO = 2 + 6 = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 2 number of bonding electrons and 6 number of non-bonding electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (2) Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O because the formula is MgO.

Answer:

Qm  = -55.8Kj/mole

Explanation:

NaOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) => NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Qm = (mc∆T)water /moles acid

Given => 100ml(0.300M) NaOH(aq) + 100ml(0.300M)HNO₃(aq)

=> 0.03mole NaOH(aq) + 0.03mole HNO₃(aq)

=> 0.03mole NaNO₃(aq) + 0.03mole H₂O(l)

ΔH⁰rxn = [(200ml)(1.00cal/g∙°C)(37 – 35)°C]water / 0.03mole HNO₃

= 13,333 cal/mole x 4.184J/cal = 55,787J/mol = 55.8Kj/mole (exothermic)*

Heat of reactions comes from formation of H-Oxy bonds on formation of water of reaction and heats the 200ml of solvent water from 35⁰C to 37⁰C.
