whg doe sthe transfer of electrons from magnesium to oxygen cause the ions produced to attract eachother

1 answer:

8 0

Oxygen gains two electrons when it bonds to form a complete outer shell and magnesium loses two electrons when bonding to gain its full outer shell.

As electrons are negative, the oxygen (which gains electrons) will become negative and the magnesium (which loses electrons) will become positive.

The negative and positive ions will then attract to one another due to the magnetic pull of the positive and negative.

C). If 0.5 mole of oxygen (,) reacted with hydrogen (H2), how many mole of water (H20) was produced

son4ous [18]

Answer:

1 mol of water is produced in those conditions.

Explanation:

The reaction to produce water between H₂ and O₂ is this:

2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O

We don't have the amount of hydrogen, so we have to think that is in excess.

Let's work with oxygen.

Ratio is 1:2

For 0.5 mole of oxygen, I will make the double of moles of water.
