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

Calculate the ph of a solution obtained by mixing 100ml each of 0.1M HCL, 0.1M HNO3 and 0.1M NaOH solutions.
Volgvan
Given:

Volume of each of the solutions = 100 mL of each
Concentration of HCl = 0.10 M
Concentration of HNO3 = 0.10 M
Concentration of NaOH = 0.10 M

If all are mixed in one solution, the pH will surely be low since there are two acids mixed with one base. The pH range should be 1 - 5. <span />
