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.

You perform a combustion analysis on a 255 mg sample of a substance that contains only C, H, and O, and you find that 561 mg of
zhuklara [117]
The combustion of an organic compound is mostly written as,
                        CaHbOc + O2 --> CO2 + H2O
where a, b, and c are supposed to be the subscripts of the elements C, H, and O in the compound. Determining the number of moles of C and H in the product which is the same as that in the compound,
   (Carbon, C)   :   (561 mg) x (12/44) = 153 mg x (1 mmole/12 mg) = 12.75
   (Hydrogen, H) :  (306 mg) x (2/18)  = 34 mg x (1 mmole/1 mg) = 34 
   Calculating for amount of O in the sample,
(oxygen, O) = 255 - 153 mg - 34 mg = 68 mg x (1mmole/16 mg) = 4.25 
The empirical formula is therefore,
                        C(51/4)H34O17/4
                           C3H8O1
The molar mass of the empirical formula is 60. Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is,
                                C9H24O3

V1 = 9.10 L 
T1 = 471 K 
V2 = 2.50 L 
T2 = 2.5 x 471 / 9.10 = 129.3 K 
T2 = 129.3 - 273 =

Consider two gases, A and B, are in a container at room temperature.
suter [353]
The rate of reaction would increase because as pressure increases the molecules are more likely to bump into each other leading to a more likely hood of the molecules colliding properly to react leading to an increase in the reaction rate of the substance.

How many moles of MgSiO3 are in 237g of the compound?
Anna35 [415]
For this, we first calculate molecular weight of MgSiO₃:
Atomic masses:
Mg = 24
Si = 28
O = 16

Mr = 24 + 28 + 16 x 3
Mr = 100

moles = mass / Mr
moles = 237 / 100
moles = 2.37
