Answer:

Both electrons of Mg should be transferred to one O.

Explanation:

This is because metals like to lose electrons whereas non metals like to gain electrons in an ionic compound. MgO is an ionic compounds. So Magnesium being a metal in group 2 of periodic table, it wants to donate 2 electrons to get to the octet rule, so it donates its electrons and oxygen accepts them to fill its octet rule.

Answer B

Mg has a positive ionic charge because it hoped to loose its two electrons to make it stable or happy

O had a negative ionic charge bc it wants to gain electrons to make it stable or happy

therefore,

QA) O would not want/wouldn't use up the energy to transfer 6 of its electrons and Mg would accept O's electrons
Q3) goes against laws of chemistry
Q4) Mg can not gain 2 extra electrons unless it is a double molecule (which it is not) a

Answer is: the molarity of HCl is 0.097 M.
Chemical reaction: LiOH + HCl → LiCl + H₂O.
V(HCl) = 13.60 mL - 1.25 mL = 12.35 mL.
V(LiOH) = 11.20 mL - 2.65 mL = 8.55 mL.
c(LiOH) = 0.140 M.
From chemical reaction: n(LiOH) : n(HCl) = 1 : 1.
c(HCl) · V(HCl) = c(LiOH) · V(LiOH).
c(HCl) = 8.55 mL · 0.140 M / 12.35 mL.
c(LiOH) = 0.097 M.

What average global temperature is maintained when there is a balance in Earth’s energy budget?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The incoming and outgoing energy at the Earth’s surface must balance. Or in other words, the flow of energy into the atmosphere must be balanced by an equal flow of energy out of the atmosphere and back to space.
Earth's Energy balance describes how the incoming energy from the sun is used and returned to space. All of the energy entering earth’s atmosphere comes from the sun. Half of it is absorbed by the earth’s surface i.e. the land and oceans, 30% is directly reflected back to space by clouds and 20% is absorbed by the atmosphere and clouds.Earth's actual average global temperature is around 14° C (57 F).

Sound waves are transverse mechanical waves. True False

allochka39001 [22]

False

Explanation:

Sound waves are longitudinal mechanical waves.

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium to propagate them.

A transverse wave is a wave that is propagated perpendicularly to its source.
An example is electromagnetic radiation.
A longitudinal wave is a wave that is directed parallel to their source.
Sound wave is a longitudinal wave.
It has series of rarefaction and compression along its travel path.
Rarefaction are areas of sparse particles.
Compression are areas with dense particles.

According to the following reaction, how many grams of potassium phosphate will be formed upon the complete reaction of 29.6 gra

Ugo [173]

Answer:

There is 37.36 grams of K3PO4 produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of H3PO4 = 29.6 grams

KOH is in excess

Molar mass of KOH = 56.11 g/mol

Molar mass of H3PO4 = 97.99 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

3KOH(aq) + H3PO4(aq) ⇔ K3PO4(aq)+3H2O(l)

Step 3: Calculate mass of KOH

Mass KOH = mass KOH / molar mass KOH

Mass KOH = 29.6 grams / 56.11 g/mol

Mass KOH = 0.528 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of K3PO4

Since KOH is the limiting reactant, We need 3 moles of KOH for each moles of H3PO4, to produce 1 mole of K3PO4 and 3 moles of H2O

For 0.528 moles of KOH we'll have 0.528/3 = 0.176 moles of K3PO4

Step 5: Calculate mass of K3PO4

Mass K3PO4 = moles K3PO4 * molar mass K3PO4

Mass K3PO4 = 0.176 moles * 212.27 g/mol

Mass K3PO4 = 37.36 grams

There is 37.36 grams of K3PO4 produced
