Answer:

The answer to your question is Mg loses its valence electrons and acquire a positive charge (Mg⁺²).

Explanation:

Valence electrons are important for an element to attach to another one, metals lose these electrons while nonmetals gain electrons to complete the octet rule.

Magnesium is a metal that loses these electrons so when it becomes an ion Magnesium will have a positive charge  Mg⁺².

Answer:

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

Explanation:

The aim of the question is to select the right condition for that would increases the rate of the reaction.

a) use a large sized piece of the solid Cu

This option is wrong. Reducing the surface area decreases the reaction rate.

b) lower the initial temperature below 25 °C for the liquid reactant, HNO3

Hugher temperatures leads to faster reactions hence this option is wrong.

c) use a 0.5 M HNO3 instead of 2.0 M HNO3

Higher concentration leads to increased rate of reaction. Hence this option is wrong.

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

This leads to an increased surface area of the reactants, which leads to an increased rate of the reaction. This is the correct option.

How are exothermic and endothermic reactions linked in the process of refining metal ore?
Alex777 [14]
The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat

What is the amount of energy for a photon that has a 125 cm wavelength
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

1.59 x 10⁻²⁵ J.

Explanation:

  • The energy of a photon is calculated Planck - Einstein's equation:

E = h ν , where

E is the energy of the photon,

h is  Planck's constant <em>(h = 6.626  x 10 ⁻³⁴ J.s)</em>

ν  is the frequency of the photon

  • There is a relation between the frequency (ν ) and wave length (λ).

λ.ν = c,

where c is the speed of light in vacuum (c = 3 .0 x 10 ⁸ m/s).

λ = 125 cm = 1.25 m.

<em>Now, E = h.c/λ.</em>

∴ E = h.c/λ = (6.626  x 10 ⁻³⁴ J.s) (3 .0 x 10 ⁸ m/s) / (1.25 m) = 1.59 x 10⁻²⁵ J.
