What occurs when a magnesium atom becomes a magnesium ion

Chemistry

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.

Determine the empirical and molecular formula:
Bingel [31]

Answer:

The empirical formula = molecular formula = C13H18O2

Explanation:

in 100% compound we have 75.6 % Carbon ( Molar mass = 12g/mole), 8.80% hydrogen ( Molar mass = 1.01 g/mole) and 15.5% Oxygen (Molar mass = 16.01 g/mole).

Carbon: 75.6g / 12 = 6.29

Hydrogen: 8.80/ 1 = 8.80

Oxygen: 15.5/ 16 = 0.97

⇒0.97 is the smallest so we divide everything through by 0.97

C: 6.29 / 0.97 =  6.48 ≈ 6.5

H: 8.80 /0.97 = 9

O: 0.97 / 0.97 = 1

To get rid of decimals, we multiply by 2  

C: 6.5 x 2 = 13

H: 9 x 2 = 18

O: 1 x 2 = 2

The empirical formula = C13H18O2

13x 12g/mol + 18x1g/mol  + 2x 16g/mol = 156 + 18 + 32 = 206g/mol  which is the molar mass of ibuprofen

The empirical formula = molecular formula = C13H18O2

Answer:

A. 6atm

Explanation:

Using pressure law equation:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to this question;

P1 = 3 atm

P2 = ?

T1 = 120K

T2 = 240K

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

3/120 = P2/240

Cross multiply

240 × 3 = P2 × 120

720 = 120P2

P2 = 720/120

P2 = 6atm

After performing a dilution calculation, you determine you need 25.0 milliliters of an aqueous stock solution to make 100.0 mill
IRINA_888 [86]
A is obviously out because it leads to a volume of 125.0 milliliters of the new solution and gives you a lower concentration than you were aiming for.

D is out because you are adding 75 milliliters of the stock solution, so your concentration would be too high. You only need 25.0 milometers of stock solution per 100 milliliters of the new solution.

C is also out because it leads to 50.0 milliliters stock solution per 100 milliliters of the new solution and hence the wrong concentration.

B is by default the correct answer. It also details the correct technique. First you add the stock solution (This you know from your calculations to be 25 milliliters.) then you add the water up to the volume you needed. (Because the calculations only tell you the total volume of water not what you need to add) You also add the water last so you can rinse the neck of the flask to make sure you also get all the stock solution residue into the stock solution.

I would add the final step of stirring, but B is the only answer that can be correct.
