Answer:

2. lost two electrons.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Mg2+ + S2- --> MgS

Therefore, sulphur ion is oxidised while magnesium ion is reduced. In other words, Magnesium ion gains 2 electrons while sulphur ion loses 2 electrons.

Answer:

4.has gained two electrons

Explanation:

There exist electrovalent bonding the compound MgS . In electrovalent bonding, there is a transfer of electrons from the metal to non-metal.

Magnesium atom has an atomic number 12 and its electron configuration is 2,8,2

Sulfur atom , a non-metal has atomic number of 16 and its electron configuration = 2,8,6

This means that magnesium as a metal needs to loose two electrons from its valence shell to attain its stable structure.Also sulfur requires two more electron to achieve its octet structure.

Hence a transfer of electrons will take place from magnesium atom to sulfur atom, sulfur gaining two electrons.

Two trains are headed towards each other on the same track unbeknownst to the engineers. One departs San Francisco. Its average
aalyn [17]

Answer:

7,166 hrs =430  minutes

Explanation:

Since both train are on the same track, going one towards the other, the relative speed is the addition of both, then the time they need to meet, and consistently crash, is the time that (65mph + 55 mph)=120mph need to travel the total distance of 860 miles, of course in this case one part is traveled by the first train and the rest by the other. Then to find the time we use a three rule

1 h --->120mi

X ---->860mi, then X=(860 mi* 1h)/120 mi = 43/6 hrs= 7,16666 hrs, turning this into minutes need that we notice 1h=60min, then 43/6 hrs *60 min/hrs = 430 minutes.

A wheel that is rotating at 33.3 rad/s is given an angular acceleration of 2.15 rad/s 2. Through what angle has the wheel turned
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The angle through which the wheel turned is 947.7 rad.

Explanation:

initial angular velocity, \omega _i = 33.3 rad/s

angular acceleration, α = 2.15 rad/s²

final angular velocity, \omega_f = 72 rad/s

angle the wheel turned, θ = ?

The angle through which the wheel turned can be calculated by applying the following kinematic equation;

\omega_f^2 = \omega_i^2 + 2\alpha \theta\\\\\theta = \frac{\omega_f^2\   -\  \omega_i^2}{2\alpha } \\\\\theta = \frac{(72)^2\   -\  (33.3)^2}{2(2.15)}\\\\\theta = 947.7 \ rad

Therefore, the angle through which the wheel turned is 947.7 rad.
