Answer : The correct option is, (b) There is a same number of electrons.

Explanation :

For the neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons are equal. But, they are unequal when the atoms present in the form of ions or the atom has some charges.

When an unequal number of electrons and protons then it leads to the formation of ionic species.

Ion : An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.

When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.

When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.

For example : The neutral atom Mg has equal number of protons and electrons i.e 12 but Mg^{2+} ion has unequal number of protons and electrons that means it has 12 number of protons and 10 number of electrons.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) electrons

How many grams of MgCl2 (molar mass = 95.20 g/mol) will be formed from 25.6 mL of a 0.100 M HCL solution reacting with excess ma
lorasvet [3.4K]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
Mg + 2HCl ---> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to MgCl₂ is 2:1
we have been told that Mg is in excess therefore HCl is the limiting reactant 
number of HCl moles reacted - 0.100 mol/L x 0.0256 L = 0.00256 mol
according to molar ratio, number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00256/2 
Therefore number of MgCl₂ moles formed - 0.00128 mol
mass of MgCl formed - 0.00128 mol x 95.20 g/mol = 0.122 g

-BARSIC- [3]

Reaction:

\mathrm{Mg \: + \: CuO \rightarrow Cu\: + \: MgO}

Magnesium is a stronger reducing agent than copper and is thus able to reduce copper(II) oxide.

Products of the reaction: Magnesium oxide and metallic copper.

100.0 g of 4.0°C water is heated until its temperature is 37.0°C. If the specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g°C, calculate the am
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

13.8072 kj

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water = 100.0 g

Initial temperature = 4.0 °C

Final temperature = 37.0°C

Specific heat capacity = 4.184 j/g.°C

Heat absorbed = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = 37.0°C -  4.0 °C

ΔT = 33.0°C

Q = 100.0 g ×4.184 j/g.°C × 33.0°C

Q = 13807.2 j

Joule to KJ:

13807.2 j  × 1kj  /1000 j

13.8072 kj
