Answer:

The answer is 4

Explanation:

Since magnesium and calcium have the same number of valence electrons, and since the valence electrons are located in the outermost shell so the reasonable is 4

Answer:

4- two electrons in the outermost shell

Explanation:

  • Magnesium and Calcium both have 2 electrons in their valence/outermost shell. Chemical properties of an element is determined by the configuration of its electrons in orbits around nucleus. Since the number of protons and electrons are the same it essentially means atomic number determines the chemical behavior of an element so that is why Mg and Ca have same chemical properties.

Why is the Universal Law of Gravitation is a scientific Law and not a theory?
scoundrel [369]
This is a law because it describes the force but makes not attempt to explain how the force works. A theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity explains how gravity works by describing gravity as the effect of curvature of four dimensional spacetime.

Calculate the pH of a 0.10 M HCN solution that is 0.0070% ionized.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

D) 5.15

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the equation for the dissociation of HCN

HCN(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)

Step 2: Calculate [H⁺] at equilibrium

The percent of ionization (α%) is equal to the concentration of one ion at the equilibrium divided by the initial concentration of the acid times 100%.

α% = [H⁺]eq / [HCN]₀ × 100%

[H⁺]eq = α%/100% × [HCN]₀

[H⁺]eq = 0.0070%/100% × 0.10 M

[H⁺]eq = 7.0 × 10⁻⁶ M

Step 3: Calculate the pH

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 7.0 × 10⁻⁶ = 5.15
