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.

A truck travels up a hill with a 7.5◦incline.The truck has a constant speed of 24 m/s.What is the horizontal component of thetru
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the truck's velocity is: 23.70 m/s

The vertical component of the truck's velocity is: 3.13 m/s

Explanation:

You have to apply trigonometric identities for a right triangle (because the ramp can be seen as a right triangle where the speed is the hypotenuse), in order to obtain the components of the velocity vector.

The identities are:

Cosα= \frac{CA}{H}

Senα= \frac{CO}{H}

Where H is the hypotenuse, α is the angle, CA is the adjacent cathetus and CO is the opposite cathetus

The horizontal component of the truck's velocity is:

Let Vx represent it.

In this case, CA=Vx, H=24 and α=7.5 degrees

Vx=(24)Cos(7.5)

Vx=23.79 m/s

The vertical component of the truck's velocity is:

Let Vy represent it.

In this case, CO=Vy, H=24 and α=7.5 degrees

Vy=(24)Sen(7.5)

Vy=3.13 m/s

Why can light microscopes produce images in their natural color
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The electron microscopes  are uses the electron to produce the image of the any object.The area where the electron passes then that area  appeaser white but on the other hand where the electron does not pass that area appears black.But this does not give any information about the color of light it shows only white and black areas.We also know that color is the property of photons ( light).So the microscopes does not produce color of the image.

80 grams of iron at 100°C is dropped into 200 of water at 20°C contained in an iron vessel of mass 50 gram find the resulting te
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

the resulting temperature is 23.37 ⁰C

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the iron, m₁ = 80 g = 0.08 kg

mass of the water, m₂ = 200 g = 0.2 kg

mass of the iron vessel, m₃ = 50 g = 0.05 kg

initial temperature of the iron, t₁ = 100 ⁰C

initial temperature of the water, t₂ = 20 ⁰C

specific heat capacity of iron, c₁ = 462 J/kg⁰C

specific heat capacity of water, c₂ = 4,200 J/kg⁰C

let the temperature of the resulting mixture = T

Apply the principle of conservation of energy;

heat lost by the hot iron = heat gained by the water

m_1c_1 \Delta t_1 = m_2c_2\Delta t_2\\\\m_1c_1 (100 - T) = m_2c_2 (T- 20)\\\\0.08 \times 462 (100-T) = 0.2 \times 4,200 (T-20)\\\\36.96 (100-T) = 840 (T-20) \\\\100 - T = 22.72 (T-20)\\\\100-T = 22.72 T - 454.4 \\\\554.4 = 23.72T\\\\T = \frac{554.4}{23.72} \\\\T = 23.37 \ ^0C

Therefore, the resulting temperature is 23.37 ⁰C
