Answer:
Option B. Cation that is smaller than the original atom.
Explanation:
Magnesium is a divalent element. This implies that magnesium can give up 2 electrons to become an ion (cation) as shown below:
Mg —> Mg²⁺ + 2e¯
Next, we shall write the electronic configuration of magnesium atom (Mg) and magnesium ion (Mg²⁺). This can be written as follow:
Mg (12) = 2, 8, 2
Mg²⁺ (10) = 2, 8
From the above illustration, we can see that the magnesium atom (Mg) has 3 shells while the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) has 2 shells.
This simply means that the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) i.e cation is smaller that the original magnesium atom (Mg).
Answer:
c.
Explanation:
If the object starts to slide it must be on a slope.
There are 2 forces acting on the object - gravity and the friction between the object and the surface.
If sliding starts then the forces must be unbalanced.
The force of gravity is greater than the friction.
Answer: 2.7 grams
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
Given: mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.4 g
mass of acetic acid = 10.9 g
Mass of reactants = mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate+ mass of acetic acid = 3.4 + 10.9= 14.3 g
Mass of reactants = Mass of products in reaction vessel + mass of carbon dioxide (as it escapes)
Mass of carbon dioxide = 14.3 - 11.6 =2.7 g
Thus the mass of carbon dioxide released during the reaction is 2.7 grams.
Answer:
Japan, China, the U.S., Indonesia, Chinese Taipei and South Korea have been named by Pew Charitable Trusts on a “shame list” of countries responsible for overfishing tuna in the Pacific. According to Pew, the “Pacific 6” are responsible for 80 percent — 111,482 metric tons in 2011 — of the annual catch of bigeye tuna.
