This
reaction is called the electrolysis of water. The balanced reaction is:
2H2O = 2H2 + O2
<span>
We are given the amount of water for the electrolysis reaction. This
will be the starting point of our calculation.
45.6 grams H2O (1 mol H2O / 18.02 g H2O) (1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O) = 1.27 mol O2
V = nRT/P = </span><span>1.27 mol O2 (0.08206 atm L / mol K) (301 K) / 1.24 atm
V = 25.20 L O2</span>
Halogens (atoms with 7 valence electrons) and Hydrogen
or generally, atoms with their shells almost full
Add 7 water atom to the right hand side to adjust the quantity of oxygen. Increase Cr(+3) by two to adjust the quantity of Cr. Duplicate Cl-by two to adjust the quantity of chlorine molecules.
Cr2O7[2-](aq) +2 Cl[-](aq) < - >2 Cr[3+] (aq) + Cl2(g)+7H2O
Presently adjust that charges.
you have - 4 charges on the left hand side, while +18 charges on the right hand side, there for include 14H+ the left hand side to adjust the charges
Cr2O7[2-](aq) +2 Cl[-](aq)+14H+ < - >2 Cr[3+] (aq) + Cl2(g)+7H2O
take note of that the oxidation number of hydrogen in water is +1
Answer:
The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).
The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.
The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.
The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.
The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.
