Answer: a. +2, cation and magnesium ion .
b. -1, anion, chloride
c. -2, anion, oxide
d. +1. cation , potassium ion
Explanation:
When an atom accepts an electron negative charge is created on atom and is called as anion.
When atom loses an electron positive charge is created on atom and is called as cation.
Magnesium (Mg) with atomic number of 12 has electronic configuration of 2,8,2 and thus it can lose 2 electrons to form cation and becomes magnesium ion.
Chlorine (Cl) with atomic number of 17 has electronic configuration of 2,8,7 and thus it can gain 1 electron to form anion and becomes chloride.
Oxygen (O) with atomic number of 8 has electronic configuration of 2,6 and thus it can gain 2 electrons to form anion and becomes oxide.
Potassium (K) with atomic number of 19 has electronic configuration of 2,8,8,1 and thus it can lose 1 electron to form cation and becomes potassium ion.
The reaction is of order three with respect to the reactant.
<h3>Explanation</h3>The rate of a reaction of order n about a certain reactant is proportion to the concentration of that reactant raised to the n-th power. This is true only if concentrations of any other reactants stay constant in the whole process.
In other words, Rate = constant × [Reactant]ⁿ, Rate ∝ [Reactant]ⁿ. (The symbol "∝" reads "proportional to".)
In this question,
[4 × Reactant]ⁿ ÷ [Reactant]ⁿ = 64.
In other words, 4ⁿ = 64, where n is the order of the reaction with respect to this reactant.
It might take some guesswork to find the value of n. Alternatively, n can be solved directly with a calculator using logarithms. Taking natural log of both sides:
.
Evaluating on Google or on a calculator with support for ln (the natural log) will give the value of n- no guesswork required.
n = 3. Therefore, the reaction is of order three with respect to this reactant.
