A(n) _____ is a region where fresh water and salt water mix.

3. Once magnesium (Mg) gives up electron(s) to become an ion, it will become

xeze [42]

Answer:

Option B. Cation that is smaller than the original atom.

Explanation:

Magnesium is a divalent element. This implies that magnesium can give up 2 electrons to become an ion (cation) as shown below:

Mg —> Mg²⁺ + 2e¯

Next, we shall write the electronic configuration of magnesium atom (Mg) and magnesium ion (Mg²⁺). This can be written as follow:

Mg (12) = 2, 8, 2

Mg²⁺ (10) = 2, 8

From the above illustration, we can see that the magnesium atom (Mg) has 3 shells while the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) has 2 shells.

This simply means that the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) i.e cation is smaller that the original magnesium atom (Mg).

A perfume bottle is dropped in the corner of a room. Tge odor of the perfume can be detected on the other side of the room. Whic

Illusion [34]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The<u> diffusion </u>occurs in room.

<u>Oder molecules move from their highest concentration to lowest concentration.</u>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Diffusion is a process by which molecules move down their concentration gradient. The process does not require any membrane.

So corner with perfume has high concentration of odor molecules. Hence they move to other corner with low concentration of molecules.

Write the formula of the conjugate base of the Brønsted-Lowry acic, HF

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Furthermore, because hydrofluoric acid, HF, loses a proton, H+1, to generate its conjugate in the reaction that is shown above, this reactant can be classified as a Brønsted-Lowry acid, and, consequently, the fluoride ion, F–1, is the conjugate base of this acid.

Hydrogen and Methanol have both been proposed as alternatives to hydrocarbon fuels. Write balanced reactions for the complete co

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The order of energy released per mass is

CH₃OH (-2.268 × 10⁴ kJ/kg) < C₈H₁₈ (-4.826 × 10⁴ kJ/kg) < H₂ (-2.835 × 10⁵ kJ/kg)

Explanation:

In order to calculate the enthalpy of a reaction (ΔH°r) we can use the following expression.

ΔH°r = ∑np × ΔH°f(p) - ∑nr × ΔH°f(r)

where

ΔH°f(i) are the enthalpies of formation of reactants and products

ni are the moles of reactants and products

<u>Combustion of hydrogen</u>

H₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) ⇒ H₂O(l)

ΔH°r = 2 mol × ΔH°f(H₂O) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(H₂) - 1/2 mol × ΔH°f(O₂)

ΔH°r = 2 mol × (-285.8 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × 0 - 1/2 mol × 0

ΔH°r = -571.6 kJ

571.6 kJ are released when 1 mole of H₂ is burned. The amount of heat released per kilogram is:

$\frac{-571.6kJ}{1molH_{2}} .\frac{1molH_{2}}{2.016gH_{2}} .\frac{10^{3}gH_{2} }{1kgH_{2}} =-2.835 \times 10^{5} kJ/kgH_{2}$

<u>Combustion of methanol</u>

CH₃OH(l) + 3/2 O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(l)

ΔH°r = 1 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂) + 2 mol × ΔH°f(H₂O) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(CH₃OH) - 3/2 mol × ΔH°f(O₂)

ΔH°r = 1 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) + 2 mol × (-285.8 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-238.4 kJ/mol) - 3/2 mol × 0

ΔH°r = -726.7 kJ

726.7 kJ are released when 1 mole of CH₃OH is burned. The amount of heat released per kilogram is:

$\frac{-726.7kJ}{1molCH_{3}OH} .\frac{1molCH_{3}OH}{32.04gCH_{3}OH} .\frac{10^{3}gCH_{3}OH }{1kgCH_{3}OH} =-2.268 \times 10^{4} kJ/kgCH_{3}OH$

<u>Combustion of octane</u>

C₈H₁₈(l) + 12.5 O₂(g) ⇒ 8 CO₂(g) + 9 H₂O(l)

ΔH°r = 8 mol × ΔH°f(CO₂) + 9 mol × ΔH°f(H₂O) - 1 mol × ΔH°f(C₈H₁₈) - 12.5 mol × ΔH°f(O₂)

ΔH°r = 8 mol × (-393.5 kJ/mol) + 9 mol × (-285.8 kJ/mol) - 1 mol × (-208.4 kJ/mol) - 12.5 mol × 0

ΔH°r = -5511.8 kJ

5511.8 kJ are released when 1 mole of C₈H₁₈ is burned. The amount of heat released per kilogram is:

$\frac{-5511.8kJ}{1molC_{8}H_{18}} .\frac{1molC_{8}H_{18}}{114.2gC_{8}H_{18}} .\frac{10^{3}gC_{8}H_{18} }{1kgC_{8}H_{18}} =-4.826 \times 10^{4} kJ/kgC_{8}H_{18}$
