Answer:
a) 2 (H+) ions
b) 1 (SO3²-) ions
c) 1.36 × 10^-22 grams.
Explanation:
According to this question, sulfurous acid has a chemical formula; H2SO3. It is made up of hydrogen and sulfite ion. Hydrogen ion (H+) is the cation while sulfite ion (SO32-) is the anion.
Based on the chemical formula, there are 2 moles of hydrogen ions that reacts with 1 mole of sulfite ion as follows:
2H+ + SO3²- → H2SO3
Hence;
- there are 2 hydrogen ions (2H+) present in H2SO3.
- there is 1 sulfite ion (SO3²-) present in H2SO3.
c) The mass of one formula unit of H2SO3 is calculated thus:
= 1.008 (2) + 32.065 + 15.999(3)
= 2.016 + 32.065 + 47.997
= 82.08 a.m.u
Since, 1 gram is = 6.02 x 10^23 a.m.u
82.08 a.m.u = 82.08/6.02 × 10^-23
= 13.6 × 10^-23
= 1.36 × 10^-22 grams.
D is the only choice here that is appropriate given neutrons' lack of charge
C) They each form similar compounds when combined with oxygen.
Explanation:
The given elements have a common characteristics as they each form similar compounds when combined with oxygen.
Beryllium, magnesium and calcium all are located in the alkaline earth group.
Elements in the same group have the same chemical properties.
- Density and melting point are physical properties of matter which varies down a group on the periodic table.
- Their reaction with oxygen denotes a statement of their chemical properties.
- Chemical properties of matter is a function of their valency.
- Group two elements have a valency of two. They have two electrons in their outermost shell.
- Therefore, they all form ionic bonds when they react with oxygen.

The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Or also called valence electrons. Khan academy has a great video online explaining why this happens. (It only happens for main group elements). Here is a link (sorry you can’t click it in Brainly) https://www.khanacademy.org/science/chemistry/periodic-table/copy-of-periodic-table-of-elements/v/periodic-table-valence-electrons. Feel free to message me for a better explanation, I would explain now but I’m not sure how much you know about this. If you know how to write an electron configuration you can see how all the electron configurations for the same group (not the transitional metals only the main groups) have the same number of valence electrons. I hope that helped, sorry I was vague about the explanation :)
