Answer:

Hi there!

The correct answer is: Iodine will more likely gain one more electron to obtain  an octet.

Explanation:

Atoms are most stable when it has a full outermost electron shell, meaning it has 8 electrons. Plus it takes less energy to gain an electron than, giving away 7 electrons.

Calculate the solubility of Mg(OH)2 in water at 25 C. You'll find Ksp data in the ALEKS Data tab. Round your answer to significa
elena-s [515]

Answer:

1.12 × 10⁻⁴ M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the reaction for the solution of Mg(OH)₂

Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

Step 2: Make an ICE chart

We can relate the solubility product constant (Ksp) with the solubility (S) through an ICE chart.

       Mg(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

I                                0                    0

C                              +S                +2S

E                                S                  2S

The solubility product constant is:

Ksp = 5.61 × 10⁻¹² = [Mg²⁺] × [OH⁻]² = S × (2S)² = 4S³

S = 1.12 × 10⁻⁴ M

If the atomic mass of 1 oxygen atom is 15.9994 amu, how much mass does of oxygen have?​
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Oxygen's atomic weight is 16.00 amu. 1 mole of oxygen is 6.02 x 1023 atoms of oxygen 1 amu = 1.661 x 10-24g What is the molar mass (g/mole) of oxygen? Molar mass (in grams) is always equal to the atomic weight of the atom! Molar mass (in grams) is always equal to the atomic weight of the atom!

at standard pressure how do the boiling point and the freezing point of NaCl compare to the boiling point and freezing point of
Ede4ka [16]
Usually in this context you would be referring to the boiling and freezing point of a NaCl <em>solution</em> (saltwater) compared to pure H_{2}O. Sematics would be different for NaCl compound itself, you would say melting and boiling point for a solid substance- and the temperatures would be very, very radical (high). 
The boiling point of pure water is 100 degrees C (212 F), and the freezing/melting point is below 0 degrees C (32 F). For a salt water solution, the boiling point is raised and the melting point is lowered. This means that water will stay liquid for an increased range of temperature. Depending on the amount of NaCl solute in the water, the boiling and melting points may change a few degrees.
