Argon: 1s22s22p63s23p6  is right answer,
Serjik [45]3 years ago
6 0

Answer : The correct option is argon.

Explanation :

Neutral atom : It is defined as an atom has equal number of electrons and protons.

  • The given electronic configuration of magnesium is,

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

The atomic number of magnesium is 12 that means it has 12 number of protons and 12 number of electrons.

As per given electronic configuration, there are 18 electrons are present in magnesium which is the electronic configuration of argon. So, this is not a neutral atom.

  • The given electronic configuration of argon is,

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

The atomic number of argon is 18 that means it has 18 number of protons and 18 number of electrons. So, this is a neutral atom.

4 g of ag2so4 will dissolve in 1l of water. calculate the solubility product (ksp) for silver (i) sulfate.
Bas_tet [7]
Reaction of dissociation: Ag₂SO₄ → 2Ag⁺ + SO₄²⁻.
m(Ag₂SO₄) = 4 g.
V(Ag₂SO₄) = 1 l.
n(Ag₂SO₄) = m(Ag₂SO₄) ÷ M(Ag₂SO₄).
n(Ag₂SO₄) = 4 g ÷ 311,8 g/mol.
n(Ag₂SO₄) = 0,0128 mol.
n(Ag⁺) = 2 · 0,0128 mol = 0,0256 mol.
n(Ag₂SO₄) = n(SO₄²⁻) = 0,0128 mol.
c(Ag⁺) = n ÷ V = 0,0256 mol ÷ 1 l = 0,0256 mol/l.
Ksp = c(Ag⁺)² · c(SO₄²⁻).
Ksp = (0,0256 mol/l)² · 0,0128 mol/l.
Ksp = 8,3·10⁻⁶.

What are the basics of chemistry
Novay_Z [31]
In studying chemistry, one should learn how to read the periodic table and periodic trends in the table.. Of course, you should also know the abbreviations of each element in it so that you can identify what element is in chemical structures. Memorizing and knowing it by heart is the best way. You should also study what we call chemical nomenclature which is naming combinations of elements. Elements when combined may form ionic compounds, bonds or acids. Knowing what element reacts with another will also be necessary that's why the concept of chemical reactions must be further studied.

Mg(OH)2 + 2 HBr à MgBr2 + 2 H2O
AnnyKZ [126]

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the reaction is given as;

Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2 HBr (aq) → MgBr2 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

1. How many grams of MgBr2 will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr produces 1 mol of  MgBr2

Converting to masses using;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Molar mass of HBr = 80.91 g/mol

Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol

This means;

(2 * 80.91 = 161.82g) of HBr produces (1 * 184.113 = 184.113g) MgBr2

18.3g would produce x

161.82 = 184.113

18.3 = x

x = (184.113 * 18.3 ) / 161.82 = 20.8 g

2. How many moles of H2O will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?

Converting the mass to mol;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 18.3 / 80.91 = 0.226 mol

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr produces 2 mol of H2O

0.226 mol would produce x

2 =2

0.226 = x

x = 0.226 * 2 / 2 = 0.226 mol

3. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are needed to completely react with 18.3 grams of HBr?

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr reacts with 1 mol of Mg(OH)2

18.3g of HBr =  0.226 mol

2 = 1

0.226 = x

x = 0.226 * 1 /2

x = 0.113 mol

A substance that can be broken down into simpler subtend only by a chemical change is aa. homogenous mixtureb. heterogeneous mix
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

d. compound

Explanation:

<u>Mixture </u>: It is defined as the substance that is made by the combination of two or more different components which are physically combined.

<u>Homogeneous mixture</u> are the mixtures in which the composition of the substances in it are uniformly mixed. <u>Heterogeneous mixture</u> are the mixtures in which the composition of the substances in it are not uniformly mixed.

<u> Compound :</u> It is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass and are chemically bonded.

<u> Element :</u> It is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.

<u>As discussed above,  The different elements in the compounds are chemically bonded and hence, it is the substance which can be broken down into the simpler units when it subtend only by the chemical change.</u>
