Answer:

First ionization of lithium:

\text{Li}\;(g)\to \text{Li}^{+} \; (g) + \text{e}^{-}.

Second ionization of lithium:

\text{Li}^{+}\;(g) \to\text{Li}^{2+} \;(g) + \text{e}^{-}.

Explanation:

The ionization energy of an element is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from an atom or ion of the element in gaseous state. (Refer to your textbook for a more precise definition.) Some features of the equation:

  • Start with a gaseous atom (for the first ionization energy only) or a gaseous ion. Write the gaseous state symbol (g) next to any atom or ion in the equation.
  • The product shall contain one gaseous ion and one electron. The charge on the ion shall be the same as the order of the ionization energy. For the second ionization energy, the ion shall carry a charge of +2.
  • Charge shall balance on the two sides of the equation.

First Ionization Energy of Li:

  • The products shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +1 \text{Li}^{+}\;(g) as well as an electron \text{e}^{-}.
  • Charge shall balance on the two sides. There's no net charge on the product side. Neither shall there be a charge on the reactant side. The only reactant shall be a lithium atom which is both gaseous and neutral: \text{Li}\;(g).
  • Hence the equation: \text{Li}\;(g) \to \text{Li}^{+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}.

Second Ionization Energy of Li:

  • The product shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +2: \text{Li}^{2+}\;(g) as well as an electron \text{e}^{-}.
  • Charge shall balance on the two sides. What's the net charge on the product side? That shall also be the charge on the reactant side. What will be the reactant?
  • The equation for this process is \text{Li}^{+} \; (g) \to \text{Li}^{2+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}.

How would you prepare a 1 L solution of 3 M MgO?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

You need to measure 120.9132 grams of MgO and add to 1 liter of distilled water in a beaker.

Explanation:

Capital M stands for molarity, or moles/liter. So 3 M MgO means 3 moles per liter of MgO.

1 L × \frac{3 moles MgO}{1 L MgO} = 3 moles MgO

This means you need to measure 3 moles MgO to put into 1 Liter of water.

But you don't know how much that is, so you need to convert moles to grams.

First you need to find how many grams are in 1 mole of MgO.

You can search the molar mass of MgO online to get: 40.3044 g

But if you don't have the internet, use the periodic table to add the masses of Mg and O: 24.305 g + 15.999 g = 40.3044 g

Then write the fraction so that the units cancel out, so you get grams by itself on the top of the fraction.

1 L × \frac{3 moles MgO}{1 L MgO} × \frac{40.3044 g MgO}{1 mole MgO} = 120.9132 g MgO

You need to measure 120.9132 grams of MgO and add to 1 liter of distilled water.

Does sulfured food taste different?
Volgvan

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Sulfur in its pure do not have any taste and odor but many foods rich in sulfur can have a distinct odor and taste. The foods contains sulfur in very small amounts but some of the foods which are known for rich in sulfur are onion, garlic, egg, flex seeds, walnuts, meat, red bell pepper, cheese, green vegetables etc.

The foods rich in sulfur helps in fighting skin acne and fights skin infection which makes our skin brighter because of this property of sulfur it is used in skin antiseptic creme and medicines.

The intake of the excess sulfur can cause burning sensation, diarrhea, tonsils and even can cause brain damage if taken in too excess and death of the brain cells. So, the sulfur is good for health and is a remedy for our skin if taken by the natural source of food in a healthy amount.
