Answer:
Se detailed explanation.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since both magnesium and calcium ions are in group IIA, we can review the following similar properties:
- Since both calcium and magnesium are in group IIA they have two valence electrons, it means that the both of them have two electrons at their outer shells.
- They are highly soluble in water when forming ionic bonds with nonmetals such as those belonging to halogens and oxygen's family.
- Calcium has 18 electrons and magnesium 10 which are two less than the total protons (20 and 12 respectively) since the both of them have lost two electrons due their ionized form.
- Their electron configurations are:

It means that the both of them are at the
region since it is the last subshell at which their electrons are.
Best regards.
The ratio of effusion rates for the lightest gas H₂ to the heaviest known gas UF₆ is 13.21 to 1
<h3>What is effusion?</h3>
Effusion is a process by which a gas escapes from its container through a tiny hole into evacuated space.
Rate of effusion ∝ 1/√Ц, (where Ц is molar mass)
Rate H₂ = 1/√ЦH₂
Rate UF₆ = 1/√ЦUF₆
Therefore, Rate H₂/ Rate UF₆ = √ЦH₂/√ЦUF₆
ЦH₂= 2.016 g/mol
ЦUF₆= 352.04 g/mol
Rate H₂ / Rate UF₆ = √352.04/√2.016 = 18.76/1.42
Rate H₂ / Rate UF₆ = 13.21
Therefore, H₂ is lower mass than UF₆. Thus H₂ gas will effuse 13 times more faster than UF₆ because the most probable speed of H₂ molecule is higher; therefore, more molecules escapes per unit time.
