Answer:

The answer to your question is: b

Explanation:

a. Magnesium shares an electron somewhat unevenly from its 3s orbital with the 3p orbital of chlorine producing a mildly polar covalent bond.  This option is wrong because Mg does not share electrons it loses electrons.

b. Magnesium loses and electron from the 3s and gives it up to the 3p of chlorine producing an ionic bond.  This option is correct, Mg loses one electron and Cl receives it, the bond formed between Mg and Cl is ionic.

c. Magnesium does not react chemically with chlorine because magnesium gives up electrons, but chlorine only shares electrons.  This answer is wrong, Mg and Cl react and produce MgCl₂.

d. Magnesium shares an electron from the 3s orbital with the 3p orbital of chlorine producing a covalent bond. Mg does not share electrons and is not able to produce covalent bonds.

CaBr + KOH – Ca(OH), + KBr (balance first) What mass, in grams, of
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

129.73 g of CaBr₂

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

CaBr₂ + 2KOH –> Ca(OH)₂ + 2KBr

Next, we shall determine the mass of CaBr₂ that reacted and the mass of Ca(OH)₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CaBr₂ = 40 + (80×2)

= 40 + 160

= 200 g/mol

Mass of CaBr₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 200 = 200 g

Molar mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 40 + 2(16 + 1)

= 40 + 2(17)

= 40 + 34

= 74 g/mol

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 74 = 74 g

SUMMARY :

From the balanced equation above,

200 g of CaBr₂ reacted to produce 74 g of Ca(OH)₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CaBr₂ that react when 48 g of Ca(OH)₂ were produced. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

200 g of CaBr₂ reacted to produce 74 g of Ca(OH)₂.

Therefore, Xg of CaBr₂ will react to produce 48 g of Ca(OH)₂ i.e

Xg of CaBr₂ = (200 × 48)/74

Xg of CaBr₂ = 129.73 g

Thus, 129.73 g of CaBr₂ were consumed.

Give an example of how environmental science might involve geology and chemistry.
Sever21 [200]
One of the examples is radiation and chemistry of water. Environmental science requires the capacity to integrate data from the greater part of the significant fields of science, and in addition from arithmetic. 
Geology is vital on the grounds that huge scale arrives forms make geology. The presence of mountains and valleys influences how much daylight and precipitation achieve the ground, how breezy an area is, the manner by which precipitation keeps running off, and numerous different variables that figure out what plants and creatures will have the capacity to occupy a district.
