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.

Which of the following you do NOT need to pay attention while using a centrifuge?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The radius of the centrifuge.

Explanation:

Hello,

Since the radius of the centrifuge is just a design parameter, it wouldn't be a cause of failure because it is used to know how many tubes could be fitted in into the centrifuge. On the other hand, keeping you attention away from other factors could turn into a failure as long as the sample could be poured down or just turn out inadequate for the expected results.

Best regards.

A mixture contains O2 at 700. torr pressure, F2 at 500. torr pressure, and Cl2 at 500. torr pressure. What is the total pressure
Softa [21]

You have to use Dalton's law of partial pressure for this question. Dalton's law of partial pressure basically states that the total pressure of the system is all of the partial pressures of the components added together. Therefore to answer the question you just need to add all the patial pressures together meaning that the total pressure would be 700+500+500=1700.

The answer would be 1700 torr.

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear or if you have any further questions.
