What occurs when a magnesium atom becomes a magnesium ion

Chemistry

Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago

Answer is: Electrons are lost and the oxidation number increases.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Electron configuration of magnesium atom: ₁₂Mg 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s².  

Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Identify ALL the possible mol ratio from<br> this balanced equation:
Karolina [17]

There are 3 possible mole ratios

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

A reaction coefficient is a number in the chemical formula of a substance involved in the reaction equation. The reaction coefficient is useful for equalizing reagents and products.

Reaction

<em>N₂(g)+3H₂(g)⇒2NH₃</em>

So mol ratio :

N₂:H₂:NH₃=1:3:2

  • Possible mol ratio :

1 mole N₂

3 mol H₂

2 mole NH₃

3 mole H₂

1 mole N₂

2 mole NH₃

Hello

Answer:

The ratio of the number of atoms of gold and silver in the ornament is 197 : 1080.

Explanation:

Let the mass of silver ornament be x.

Mass of gold polished on an ornament = 1% of x= 0.1 x

Moles of silver =\frac{x}{108 g/mol}

Number of atoms = Moles\times N_A

Where : N_A = Avogadro number

Moles of gold =\frac{0.1x}{197 g/mol}

Silver atoms =\frac{x}{108 g/mol}\times N_A

Gold atoms =\frac{0.1x}{197 g/mol}\times N_A

The ratio of the number of atoms of gold and silver in the ornament:

=\frac{\frac{0.1x}{197 g/mol}\times N_A}{\frac{x}{108 g/mol}\times N_A}

= 197 : 1080
