Answer:

The correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

When Magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen (O), magnesium oxide is formed.

This reaction is spontaneous and occurs with oxidation number +2 of magnesium and oxidation number -2 of oxygen. It is an ionic union, so magnesium transfers its electrons to oxygen.

We conclude that the correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.

You have 4 moles of oxygen gas in a flask. 4 moles of helium gas is added. What happens to the total pressure of the gases in th
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: The correct option is (c). The total pressure doubles.

Solution:

Initially,  only 4 moles of oxygen gas were present in the flask.

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times X_{O_2}  (X_{O_2}=\frac{4}{4}) ( according to Dalton's law of partial pressure)

p_{O_2}=Tp_1\times 1=Tp_1....(1)

Tp_1= Total pressure when only oxygen gas was present.

Final total pressure when 4 moles of helium gas were added:

X'_{O_2}=\frac{4}{8}=\farc{1}{2},X_{He}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture :

Since, the number of moles of oxygen remains the same, the partial pressure of oxygen will also remain the same in the mixture.

p_{O_2}=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

Tp_2= Total pressure of the mixture.

from (1)

Tp_1=Tp_2\times X'_{O_2}=Tp_2\times \frac{1}{2}

On rearranging, we get:

Tp_2=2\times Tp_1

The new total pressure will be twice of initial total pressure.

Explain why the C―Ha bond is much more acidic than the C―Hb bond in pentan-2-one. Select the single best answer. 253 Ha is less
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Ha is more acidic than Hb because loss of Ha forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base.

Explanation:

The carbon atom that is next to the carbonyl group in pentan-2-one is known as the alpha carbon atom, this carbon atom bears the Ha, the alpha hydrogen atoms.

Ha is more acidic than Hb because, loss of Ha leads to the formation of a resonance stabilized enolate ion. This resonance stabilization of the ion formed makes loss of Ha an easier process than loss of Hb, hence the answer above.

47.9 ml hrdrogen is collected at 26° Celsius and 718 torr. Find the volume occupied at STP
Temka [501]

Answer:

41.45 mL

Explanation:

Applying the general gas equation,

PV/T = P'V'/T'............... Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure of hydrogen, V = Initial volume of hydrogen, T= Initial Temperature of hydrogen, P' = Final pressure of hydrogen, V' = Final Volume of Hydrogen, T' = Final Temperature.

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = PVT'/TP'................ Equation 2

Given: P = 718 torr = (718×133.322) N/m² = 95725.196 N/m², V = 47.9 mL = 0.0479 dm³, T = 26 °C = (26+273) = 299 K, T' = 273 K, P' = 101000 N/m²

Substitute these values into equation 2

V' = ( 95725.196×0.0479×273)/(299×101000)

V' = 0.04145 dm³

V' = 41.45 mL
