Answer:

The order is determined as: Be > Mg > Ca > Sr (option B)

Explanation:

The electrons are attracted to the nucleus and it is necessary to provide energy to start them. The ionization energy I is then the energy needed to start an electron to a gaseous atom, isolated and in a fundamental state. The electrons of the last layer are always lost, which are the weakest attracted to the nucleus.

The elements beryllium, calcium, magnesium and strontium, if you place them in the periodic table, are in the same group. In the same group, the size of the atoms increases as they descend in the periodic table. In this way, electrons are found in layers increasingly distant from the nucleus, being less and less attracted to it. This facilitates its extraction from the atom. Finally, the ionization energy decreases as it descends in a group.  Following this criterion, the order is determined as: Be > Mg > Ca > Sr (option B)

REY [17]

Answer:

pH = 4.34

Explanation:

pH= -1/2(logKa) -1/2(log C)

= -1/2( log 5.98*10^-8) -1/2(log 0.0353)

=-1/2(-7.22)-1/2(-1.45)

=3.61+0.725= 4.34

Agata [3.3K]
In balancing reactions, the number of atoms on each side should be of equal number. It is the most important rule in reactions. Also, we should know the correct substances involved in the reaction. We do as follows:

2K + MgBr2 = 2KBr + Mg

EXPLAIN how to identify the reducing agent in a reaction of magnesium with oxygen
Alina [70]

Explanation:

Mg+O>MgO

Here the mg loses it electron and is oxidised and oxygen gains and is reduced.

Mg(2+)and O(2-)

Mg is a reducing agent it makes oxygen to be reduced while itself being oxidised and vice versa.

A certain man needed 400N of force to pull a load through a distance of 150cm in 8s . Calculatell i) the work done by man ii) th
Igoryamba

Answer:

a) 600 J

b) 75 W

Explanation:

Force= 400 N, distance = 150 cm = 1.5 m, time= 8s

a) Work is the product of force acting on an object and distance (or displacement). The S.I unit of work is the joules.

Work = force × distance = 400 × 1.5 = 600 J

b) Power is the amount of energy transferred per unit time. It is the ratio of work to time. The S.I unit of power is watt

Power = work/time = 600 / 8 = 75 W
