Answer:

Mg²⁺

Explanation:

The electron configuration of Mg is [Ne]3s².

It is easier for Mg to get a complete octet by losing two electrons and exposing the neon core than it is to add eight electrons and get an Ar octet.

The most stable monatomic Mg ion is Mg²⁺.

Balance the following redox equation in acidic solution using the smallest integers possible and select the correct coefficient

romanna [79]

Answer:

Coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4

Explanation:

Oxidation: $Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balance charge: $Sn^{2+}(aq)-2e^{-}\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$ ......(1)

Reduction: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq)$

Balance Cr: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)$
Balance O and H in acidic medium: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$
Balance charge: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)+6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$ .......(2)

$[3\times Equation-(1)]+Equation(2)$ gives balanced equation:

$3Sn^{2+}(aq)+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 3Sn^{4+}(aq)+2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$

So coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4
