I would say that the first answer choice makes sense since the charge of Oxygen is +2. But I may be wrong, try it out!

Answer: Oxygen receives two electrons from magnesium.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element. This bond is formed between a metal and an non-metal.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

[Mg]=1s^22s^22p^63s^2

Magnesium atom will loose two electrons to gain noble gas configuration and form magnesium cation with +2 charge.

Mg^{2+}]=1s^22s^22p^63s^0

Electronic configuration of oxygen:

[O]=1s^22s^22p^4

Oxygen atom will gain two electrons to gain noble gas configuration and form oxide ion with -2 charge.

[O^{2-}]=1s^22s^22p^6

Thus Mg^{2+} and O^{2-} combine to form MgO.

11. If four gases in a cylinder each exert 6 atm, what is the total pressure exerted by the
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

24 atm is the total pressure exerted by the gases

Explanation:

We propose this situation:

In a vessel, we have 4 gases (for example, hydrogen, Xe, methane and chlorine)

Each of the gases has the same pressure:

6 atm → hydrogen

6 atm → xenon

6 atm → methane

6 atm → chlorine

To determine the total pressure, we sum all of them:

Partial pressure H₂ + Partial pressure Xe + Partial pressure CH₄ + Partial pressure Cl₂ = Total P

6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm + 6 atm = 24atm

2. Write the chemical equations for the neutralization reactions that occurred when HCL and NaOH were added to the buffer soluti
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

HCI(aq)+CH3COONa(s) ----> CH3COOH(aq)+NaCl(s)

NaOH(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) ----> CH3COONa(s)+H2O(l)

Explanation:

A buffer is a solution that resists changes in acidity or alkalinity. A buffer is able to neutralize a little amount of acid or base thereby maintaining the pH of the system at a steady value.

A buffer may be an aqueous solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid.

The equations for the neutralizations that occurred upon addition of HCl or NaOH are;

HCI(aq)+CH3COONa(s) ----> CH3COOH(aq)+NaCl(s)

NaOH(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) ----> CH3COONa(s)+H2O(l)

suppose medical records indicate that the length of newborn babies (in inches) is normally distributed with a mean of 20 and a s
Tanya [424]

Answer:

  • <u>0.6826 (68.26%)</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Find the z-scores:</u>

  • z = [X - μ ] / σ

a) z-score for 22.6 inches length

  • X = 22.6
  • μ = 20
  • σ = 2.6

  • z = [ 22.6 - 20 ] / 2.6 = 1.00

b) z-score for 17.4 inches length

  • X = 17.4
  • μ = 20
  • σ = 2.6

  • z = [ 17.4 - 20 ] / 2.6 =  - 1.00

<u>2) Probability</u>

Then, you have to find the probability that the length of an infant is between - 1.00 and 1.00 standards deviations (σ) from the mean (μ).

That is a well known value of 68%, which is part of the 68-95-99.7 empirical rule.

The most exact result is obtained from tables and is 68.26%:

  • 1 - P (z ≥ 1.00) - P (z ≤ - 1.00) = 1 - 0.1587 - 0.1587 = 0.6826 = 68.26%
