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: This is a typical acid/base equilibrium problem, that involves the use of logarithms.

Explanation:We assume that both nitric acid and hydrochloric acid dissociate to give stoichiometric

This molar quantity is diluted to

Now we know that water undergoes autoprotolysis:

An atom of chlorine with a mass number of 37 contains __ protons and __ neutrons.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Its in the Explanation

Explanation:

Here's what I got.

Aluminium-27 is an isotope of aluminium characterized by the fact that is has a mass number equal to  

27

.

Now, an atom's mass number tells you the total number of protons and of neutrons that atom has in its nucleus. Since you're dealing with an isotope of aluminum, it follows that this atom must have the exact same number of protons in its nucleus.

The number of protons an atom has in its nucleus is given by the atomic number. A quick looks in the periodic table will show that aluminum has an atomic number equal to  

13

.

This means that any atom that is an isotope of aluminum will have  

13

protons in its nucleus.

Since you're dealing with a neutral atom, the number of electrons that surround the nucleus must be equal to the number of protons found in the nucleus.

Therefore, the aluminium-27 isotope will have  

13

electrons surrounding its nucleus.

Finally, use the known mass number to determine how many neutrons you have

mass number

=

no. of protons

+

no. of neutrons

no. of neutrons = 27 − 13 = 14

How do you balance this Chemical Equation? <br>C5H12O + O2 = CO2 + H2O​
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

The chemical equation by putting, a 2 on C₅H₁₂O, 15 on O₂, 10 on CO₂ , and 12 on H₂O in the equation;

2C₅H₁₂O + 15O₂ → 10CO₂ + 12H₂O​

Explanation:

  • Chemical equations are balanced by putting coefficients on the reactants and products to ensure the total number of atoms on the left side equal to those on the right side.
  • Balancing chemical equations is done to make chemical equations obey the law of conservation of mass.
  • According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactants should always be equal to the mass of products.
  • This is done by balancing chemical equations to ensure the total number of atoms on the left side is equal to that on the right side.
  • Therefore, the balanced equation is;

          2C₅H₁₂O + 15O₂ → 10CO₂ + 12H₂O​
