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.

A certain first-order reaction (a→products) has a rate constant of 9.60×10−3 s−1 at 45 ∘c. how many minutes does it take for the
Alexxandr [17]

The integrated rate law expression for a first order reaction is

ln\frac{[A_{0}]}{[A_{t}]}=kt

where

[A0]=100

[At]=6.25

[6.25% of 100 = 6.25]

k = 9.60X10⁻³s⁻¹

Putting values

ln\frac{100}{6.25}=9.6X10^{-3}t

taking log of 100/6.25

100/6.25 = 16

ln(16) = 2.7726

Time = 2.7726 / 0.0096 = 288.81  seconds

Why is the atomic weight of carbon reported as 12.011 in the table of elements and the periodic table in the front inside cover
Oduvanchick [21]
The atomic weight reported in the periodic table of elements for Carbon is the average weight of all the known isotopes of Carbon occurring naturally. There are 3: Carbon-12, Carbon-13 and Carbon-14. The numbers represent the mass numbers, or the sum of neutrons and protons in the nucleus. Each of the individual masses are multiplied with their individual percentage abundances. Then, when you add them up, it will yield the average atomic weight equal to 12.011 amu or grams/mole C.
