Oxygen because it is on the left of the periodic table so it has a strong pull.

Answer:

Oxygen atom will strongly attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

Explanation:

The bond formed between magnesium and oxygen atom is an ionic bond.In this type of chemical bond transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another.

Electronegativity : tendency to attract shared purr of electrons towards itself.

The transfer of electrons from one atom to another type of an atom depends upon the electronegativities of the atoms.

  • Higher the electronegative character in an atom more will be the tendency of that atom to attract the electrons towards itself and form electronegative ion.
  • Lower the electronegative character ,more easily it will donate its electrons and  form a electropositive ion.

Out of magnesium and oxygen, oxygen is a second most electronegative element in a periodic table which means it will easily attract the shared pairs of electrons towards it self.

Which best describes an oxidizing agent?
stellarik [79]

Answer:B) a reactant that undergoes reduction

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases during oxidation.

M\rightarrow M^++e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced during reduction.

N^++e^-\rightarrow N

Overall reaction: M+N^+\rightarrow M^++N

The substance M which itself gets oxidized, reduces other and is called as reducing agent. The substance N which itself gets reduced, oxidizes other and is called as oxidizing agent.

An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of nitrous acid with a solution of . The of nitrous acid is . Calculate the pH
Burka [1]

Answer:

pH = 2.69

Explanation:

The complete question is:<em> An analytical chemist is titrating 182.2 mL of a 1.200 M solution of nitrous acid (HNO2) with a solution of 0.8400 M KOH. The pKa of nitrous acid is 3.35. Calculate the pH of the acid solution after the chemist has added 46.44 mL of the KOH solution to it.</em>

<em />

The reaction of HNO₂ with KOH is:

HNO₂ + KOH → NO₂⁻ + H₂O + K⁺

Moles of HNO₂ and KOH that react are:

HNO₂ = 0.1822L × (1.200mol / L) = <em>0.21864 moles HNO₂</em>

KOH = 0.04644L × (0.8400mol / L) = <em>0.0390 moles KOH</em>

That means after the reaction, moles of HNO₂ and NO₂⁻ after the reaction are:

NO₂⁻ = 0.03900 moles KOH = moles NO₂⁻

HNO₂ = 0.21864 moles HNO₂ - 0.03900 moles = 0.17964 moles HNO₂

It is possible to find the pH of this buffer (<em>Mixture of a weak acid, HNO₂ with the conjugate base, NO₂⁻), </em>using H-H equation for this system:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂]

pH = 3.35 + log₁₀ [0.03900mol] / [0.17964mol]

<h3>pH = 2.69</h3>

What is the overall effect of adding a solute to a Solution
user100 [1]

Answer:

By adding the solute in to solution boiling point is increased while freezing point is decreased.

Explanation:

When solute in added into the solvent the boiling point of solvent increases for example,

Water is boiled at 100 °C, when sodium chloride is added its boiling point increased. Ions of salt interact with solvent and prevent the water molecules to escape from the surface and form gas molecules. In order to make it boiled solution must be heated above 100  °C.

But there is different case with freezing point. Freezing point is the state in which substance converted into the solid. At given temperature when solute is added into the solvent it prevent the formation of solid. It required time to decrease the temperature first and as the temperature is decreases solid is formed.
