Which type of chemical reaction does this equation exemplify?

Chemistry
1 answer:
AveGali [126]3 years ago

The answer is: single replacement.

Single replacement is reaction where neutral element metal or nonmetal become an ion as it replaces another ion in a compound.  

In this balanced chemical reaction magnesium (Mg) replaces copper (Cu).

Magnesium changes oxidation number from 0 to +2 (oxidation) and copper changes oxidation number from +2 to 0 (reduction).

Reactivity series is an empirical progression of a series of metals, arranged by their reactivity from highest to lowest (alkaline metals have highest reactivity and Noble metals lowest reactivity):  

K > Ba > Sr > Na > Ca > Mg > Be > Al > Mn > Zn > Cr> Fe > Cd > Co > Ni > Sn > Pb > H(in acids) > Cu > Hg > Ag.

Metal higher in the reactivity series will displace another and it will be oxidized.

Which of the following statements is/are true regarding hydrogen bonds in water?
kap26 [50]

Answer

B,C,D,E

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonds in water forms a tetrahedral ( four sided structure) and not a six sided structure.

The hydrogen bonds are needed to be broken first when heat is applied to change from one state to another.It makes room for more heat to be applied than the required amount which signifies a higher latent heat of melting or vaporization and also a higher heat capacity .

Using Avogadro's Number (6.02*10^23): Calculate the number of molecules in 3.00 moles H2S . Express your answer numerically in m
mars1129 [50]
Avagadro's number is just a measurement. One mole is 6.022 X 10^23 of anything - atoms, molecules, marbles... anything. 
<span>1) If one mole = 6.022 X 10^23, then 8.00mol of H2S is: </span>
<span>(3.00mol H2S) (6.022 X 10^23 molecules H2S / 1 mol H2S) = 1.8060 X 10^24 molecules H2S. </span>
<span>Rounded to 3 sig figs =1.81 X 10^24 molecules H2S 
</span>part2.
<span> This one uses moles in the stoichiometric sense as well as the measurement. One formula unit of MgCl2 contains 1 mole Mg and 2 moles Cl. </span>
<span>First, figure out how many moles of formula units there are. </span>
(1.81 X 10^24 FU's) (1mol MgCl2 / 6.022 X 10^23 FU's) = 3.0056mol MgCl2.

<span>Now, we know that there are 2 moles of Cl in every mole of MgCl2 (2 Cl atoms in every unit of MgCl2). From this we can determine how many moles of Cl atoms there are: </span>
<span>(3.0056mol MgCl2) (2mol Cl atoms / 1mol MgCl2) = 6.0112mol Cl atoms. </span>
<span>Now round to 3 sig figs = 10.0mol Cl atoms</span>

How to we know how many neutrons are in the atoms we draw models for ? (We represent average atoms, not ions or isotopes)
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Atoms is the smallest unit of a chemical element and consist of three main components protons, neutrons, and electrons.

The number of a neutron is based on the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number (Z). every isotope of an element has a different number of neutron.

But in a neutral atom or average atom, the number of neutrons is equal to the number of protons and the number of electron.

Example of the number of neutrons in an average atom: In Nitrogen-14, the atomic number and the number of protons is 7, it means the number of neutrons will also 7.

Write the electron configuration diagram that shows the transfer of electrons that takes place to form the compound sodium
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Now the element sodium has electronic configuration of [Ne]3s1

Florine has an electronic configuration of [He] 2p5

We know that in the formation of sodium flouride, sodium looses one electron to form Na^+ while F gains one electron to form F^-. So the electronic configuration of both Na^+ and F^- now become;  1s2 2s2 2p6
