Chemistry

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical formula for the ionic compound formed will be MgO

<u>Explanation:</u>

Magnesium is the 12th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^{2}

This element will loose 2 electrons and thus shows an oxidation state of +2 units.

Oxygen is the 8th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^4

This element requires 2 electrons and thus shows an oxidation state of -2 units.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and hence, they form the subscripts of the opposite ion. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Thus, the chemical formula for the ionic compound will be MgO

What is the mass in grams of 9.45*10^24 molecules of methanol (CH3OH)?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
Number of moles:

1 mole ---------- 6.02x10²³ molecules
? moles --------- 9.45x10²⁴ molecules

1 x ( 9.45x10²⁴) / 6.02x10²³ =

9.45x10²⁴ / 6.02x10²³ => 15.69 moles of CH3OH

Therefore:

Molar mass CH3OH = 32.04 g/mol

1 mole ------------ 32.04 g
15.69 moles -----  mass methanol

Mass methanol  = 15.69 x 32.04 / 1 => 502.7076 g

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The molecules in both metal and surrounding air will start moving slower because of the sudden decrease in environment tmeperature. The thermal energy around the metal plate decreases, also decreasing the kinetic energy.
