7 0

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.

A shiny chunk of metal is found to have a mass of 37.28g. The metal is dropped into a graduated cylinder which contains 20.0 mL
Amanda [17]

Answer: The density of the material is 2.66 g/mL and it is likely this  is made of Aluminum

Explanation:

The first step to know the material of the chunk of metal is to calculate its density. The general formula for density is P (density) = \frac{m (mass)}{ v (volume)}. Moreover, in this case, it is known the mass is 37.28 g, but the volume is not directly provided. However, we know the water in the graduated cylinder had a volume of 20.0 mL and this increased to 34.0 mL when the chunk of metal is added, this means the volume of the metal is 14 mL (34.0 mL - 20.0 mL = 14 mL). Now let's calculate the density:

P = \frac{37.28g}{14.0mL}

P = 2.66 g/mL

This means the density of this metal is 2.66 g/mL, which can be rounded as 2. 7 g/mL, and according to the chart, this is the density of aluminum. Therefore, this material of this chunk is aluminum.

What is the pH of a 900 mL solution containing 3.40 grams of hydrocyanic acid
Allushta [10]

Answer:

pH = 5.05

Explanation:

pH is derived from the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution. Hydrocyanic acid is HCN.

First, we shall figure out the moles of HCN:

\frac{3.4g}{27.03g/mol}  = 0.125786

If HCN was a strong acid:

HCN has a 1:1 ratio of H+ ions, the moles of H+ is also the same.

To find the molarity, we now divide by Liters. This gets us:

\frac{0.125786 moles}{0.9L} = 0.139762 M

Finally, we plug it into the definition of pH:

pH = -log[H^{+} ]

pH = -log(0.139762)

pH = 0.855

However, since HCN is a weak acid, it only partially dissociates. The K_a of HCN is 6.2 * 10^{-10}.

K_a = \frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

We can use an ice table to determine that when x = H+,

K_a = \frac{x^2}{0.125786-x}

[H^+] = 8.83*10^{-6}

pH = -log[H^{+} ]

pH = -log(8.83 * 10^{-6} )

pH = 5.05

Find the weighted average of these values. Col1 Value 5.00 6.00 7.00Col2 Weight 75.0 % 15.0 % 10.0 %
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

5.35

Explanation:

Value   5.00        6.00       7.00

Weight 75.0%     15.0%      10.0 %

We can determine the weighted average of these values using the following expression.

Weighted average = ∑ wi × xi

where,

w: relative weight

x: value

Weighted average = 5.00 × 0.750 + 6.00 × 0.150 + 7.00 × 0.100

Weighted average = 5.35

Please help I’ll mark you as brainliest if correct!
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Gas molecules are diatomic which means it usually comes in 2.

So, H2(g)+O2(g) is H2O (l)

The first one is OH(hydroxide, not water)

Second one is not gas(not diatomic)

Answer is C.
