Answer: -
The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.
The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO
Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g
Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g
Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is
2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO
From the balanced equation we see that
2 Mg gives 2 MgO
2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.
28g of MgO gives
= 46.66 g of MgO.
Answer: a. +2, cation and magnesium ion .
b. -1, anion, chloride
c. -2, anion, oxide
d. +1. cation , potassium ion
Explanation:
When an atom accepts an electron negative charge is created on atom and is called as anion.
When atom loses an electron positive charge is created on atom and is called as cation.
Magnesium (Mg) with atomic number of 12 has electronic configuration of 2,8,2 and thus it can lose 2 electrons to form cation and becomes magnesium ion.
Chlorine (Cl) with atomic number of 17 has electronic configuration of 2,8,7 and thus it can gain 1 electron to form anion and becomes chloride.
Oxygen (O) with atomic number of 8 has electronic configuration of 2,6 and thus it can gain 2 electrons to form anion and becomes oxide.
Potassium (K) with atomic number of 19 has electronic configuration of 2,8,8,1 and thus it can lose 1 electron to form cation and becomes potassium ion.
