Answer:

D) Mg(s)

Explanation:

We are given:

E^o_{(Cl_2/Cl^-)}= 1.36V\\E^o_{(Mg^{2+}/Mg)}=-2.37V

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, chlorine will undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.  Magnesium will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

<u>Reducing agents are the species which reduces others and oxidizes itself. Thus, Magnesium will be the strongest reducing agent.</u>

The reactive properties or chemical behavior of an atom depend on the number of
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The chemical properties of an atom is majorly influenced by the number of electrons which are present in the valence shell of its atom. This number helps us to know if the atom is a metal , non-metal , metalloid, or a noble gas. Properties like electro-negativity and electro-positivity depends on the valence electrons. metals with fewer electrons in their valence shell, like sodium have strong electro-positivity, while non-metals which higher number of electrons in their outermost shell like chlorine have a high electronegativity

what is the empirical formula for a substance if a 1.000 g sample of it contains 0.262 grams of nitrogen, 0.075 grams of hydroge
Sonbull [250]
Here are the steps for finding an emprical formula.

To begin, we need to change the grams to a percentage. We can simply take the number and call it our percentage. (i.e 0.262%)

Then, we have a simply stoichiometry step. We put our starting number over 1, as usual. The next "Step" is putting in the molar mass of that particular element on the bottom, with one on top. It should look like this: 

0.262% N          1
-------------- x ----------------      
       1              14.007g N    

We would then divide those two numbers to get our answer. Repeat for the other elements included, until we have all of them done.

After that, we need to find the smallest number that was the answer to one of the equations. For example, if the product of Hydrogen was the smallest formed, we would locate that number. We then divide ALL of our answers by that smallest number.

Remember, whenever doing empirical formulas, significant figures matter.

Once we have our smallest numbers, we need to round our numbers to the nearest whole number. HOWEVER, to do this we need to multiply all of the numbers by the SAME whole number.

For example, if one of our numbers was 1.33, we would multiply by 3 to get a whole number. However, we would also need to multiply the rest of our products by the same number. If we do not get close to whole numbers (you can round), we need to try with multiplying a different number.

Then, we need to take those whole numbers we got for each number, and plug in to make a compound. For example, if our products were 6 for nitrogen, 3 for hydrogen, and 2 for chlorine, our final empirical formula would be N6H3Cl2.

Hope I could help! If it was a bit wordy please let me know and I'd be more than willing to clarify.

A light has a frequency of 6.2 x 1016 Hz. What is the wavelength in meters?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

λ =  0. 484 × 10⁻⁸ m

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency = 6.2 × 10¹⁶ Hz

Wavelength = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Wavelength = speed of light / frequency

speed of light = 3 ×10⁸ m/s

λ = c / f

λ = 3 ×10⁸ m/s / 6.2 × 10¹⁶ s⁻¹

λ =  0. 484 × 10⁻⁸ m
