I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The element that behaves most like magnesium would be strontium. It behaves most like magnesium because it is in the same family, the alkaline earth metals. Hope this answers the question.

Answer

Explanation

In periodic table, the elements have almost same properties are present in the same group. As Mg and Sr are present in group II-A, so both behave most likely to each other due to having same valence shell electrons as well.
Si and Sn are present in group IV-A which have same behavior but different one from Mg due to different groups.
S is present in group VI-A which show different properties from all others one especially from Mg.

The copper(I) ion forms a chloride salt (CuCl) that has Ksp = 1.2 x 10-6. Copper(I) also forms a complex ion with Cl-:Cu+ (aq) +

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: (a) The solubility of CuCl in pure water is $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

(b) The solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

Explanation:

(a) Chemical equation for the given reaction in pure water is as follows.

$CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)$

Initial: 0 0

Change: +x +x

Equilibm: x x

$K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}$

And, equilibrium expression is as follows.

$K_{sp} = [Cu^{+}][Cl^{-}]$

$1.2 \times 10^{-6} = x \times x$

x = $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$

Hence, the solubility of CuCl in pure water is $1.1 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

(b) When NaCl is 0.1 M,

$CuCl(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+}(aq) + Cl^{-}(aq)$ , $K_{sp} = 1.2 \times 10^{-6}$

$Cu^{+}(aq) + 2Cl^{-}(aq) \rightleftharpoons CuCl_{2}(aq)$ , $K = 8.7 \times 10^{4}$

Net equation: $CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)$

$K' = K_{sp} \times K$

= 0.1044

So for, $CuCl(s) + Cl^{-}(aq) \rightarrow CuCl_{2}(aq)$

Initial: 0.1 0

Change: -x +x

Equilibm: 0.1 - x x

Now, the equilibrium expression is as follows.

K' = $\frac{CuCl_{2}}{Cl^{-}}$

0.1044 = $\frac{x}{0.1 - x}$

x = $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$

Therefore, the solubility of CuCl in 0.1 M NaCl is $9.5 \times 10^{-3} M$ .

What do we know about elements with half-filled energy levels??

lisabon 2012 [21]

If the energy level of a certain element is filled based on the maximum number of allowable electrons per level, then it is no longer reactive. With this, half-filled energy level means that the element may retain those electrons and attract electrons from other elements or it may give off its electrons.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Hypatia is popular for her work in mathematics. She also did some work in the area of astronomy. Her well know work in mathematics is her ideas about conic sections.

She was born the Theon of Alexandria and she was a professional mathematician in her life time.

She was the greatest mathematician of her time and she was telling leader of the Neoplatonist school of philosophy in Alexandria. By so doing, she conquered the culture of sexism in her time.

She was trained by her father in mathematics and eventually replaced him. She was the last major mathematician in the Alexandrian tradition.

What would be the best item to fill the cylinders with to measure the volume

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Most accurate glassware for measuring volume

Graduated cylinders, beakers, volumetric pipets, burets and volumetric flasks are five kinds of glassware often used to measure out specific volumes. Volumetric pipets, flasks and burets are the most accurate; the glassware makers calibrate these to a high level of accuracy.
