Answer: Magnesium atom looses 2 electrons to obtain the noble gas structure.

Explanation:

Atomic number of magnesium is 12. Electronic configuration of magnesium :

$[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2$

In the periodic table, the nearest noble gas to magnesium element is Neon with atomic number 10.

$[Ne]=1s^22s^22p^6$

So, in order to obtain noble gas electronic configuration the magnesium atom will loose 2 electrons.

$[Mg^{2+}]=1s^22s^22p^6$

An "empty" container is not really empty if it contains air. How may moles of nitrogen are in an "empty" two-liter cola bottle a

Lisa [10]

Answer:

1. 0.0637 moles of nitrogen.

2. The partial pressure of oxygen is 0.21 atm.

Explanation:

1. If we assume ideal behaviour, we can use the Law of ideal gases to find the moles of nitrogen, considering that air composition is mainly nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%) and argon (1%):

$V_{N_2}=V_{T}\times 0.78=2L \times 0.78 =1.56 L\\PV=nRT\\n_{N_2}=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1 atm\times 1.56 L}{0.0821\frac{atmL}{molK}\times 298 K}\\n_{N_2}= 0.0637 mol$

2. Now, in order to find he partial pressure of oxygen we need to find the total moles of air, and then the moles of oxygen. Then, we use these results to determine the molar fraction of oxygen, to multiply it with total pressure and get the partial pressure of oxygen as follows:

$n_{total}=\frac{1 atm \times 2L}{0.0821 \frac{atmL}{molK}298K}=0.0817 mol$

$V_{O_2}=2L \times 0.21 = 0.42 L\\n_{O_2}=\frac {1atm \times 0.42 L}{0.0821 \frac{atm L}{mol K}298 K}=0.0172 mol\\X_{O_2}=\frac{n_{O_2}}{n_{total}}=\frac{0.0172 mol}{0.0817 mol}= 0.21$

$P_{O_2}=X_{O_2} \times P = 1 atm \times 0.21 = 0.21 atm$

As you see, the molar fraction and volume fraction are the same because of the assumption of ideal behaviour.

Consider the following equilibrium systems: A⇌2B ΔH o =20.0 kJ/mol Reaction 1 A+B⇌C ΔH o =−5.4 kJ/mol Reaction 2 A⇌B ΔH o =0.0 k

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Reaction 1: Kc increases

Reaction 2: Kc decreases

Reaction 3: The is no change

Explanation:

Let us consider the following reactions:

Reaction 1: A ⇌ 2B ΔH° = 20.0 kJ/mol

Reaction 2: A + B ⇌ C ΔH° = −5.4 kJ/mol

Reaction 3: 2A⇌ B ΔH° = 0.0 kJ/mol

To predict what will happen when the temperature is raised we need to take into account Le Chatelier Principle: when a system at equilibrium suffers a perturbation, it will shift its equilibrium to counteract such perturbation. This means that <em>if the temperature is raised (perturbation), the system will react to lower the temperature.</em>

Reaction 1 is endothermic (ΔH° > 0). If the temperature is raised the system will favor the forward reaction to absorb heat and lower the temperature, thus increasing the value of Kc.

Reaction 2 is exothermic (ΔH° < 0). If the temperature is raised the system will favor the reverse reaction to absorb heat and lower the temperature, thus decreasing the value of Kc.

Reaction 3 is not endothermic nor exothermic (ΔH° = 0) so an increase in the temperature will have no effect on the equilibrium.

What is the percent by volume of isopropyl alcohol in a solution that contains 45 ml of isopropyl alcohol in 1.4 L of water?

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

3.11%

Explanation:

We express a solution's volume by volume percent concentration, % v/v,

Take the ratio of the isopropyl alcohol (IPA) volume to the total volume of the solution, which is 1400 mL of water+ 45 mL of IPA,

and multiply by 100 to get the percentage: 45/(1400+45) *100 = 0.0311*100 = 3.11%
