Explain how an ionic bond forms when magnesium atoms react with oxygen atoms.​

Chemistry
1 answer:
kondor19780726 [428]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

If you look at the periodic table, magnesium (Mg) is in group 2, meaning it has 2 electrons on it's outer shell.

Oxygen (O) is in group 6, meaning it has 6 electrons in its outer shell.

To form an ionic bonds, both elements need to have full outer shells/ 8 electrons in their outer shell.

Oxygen only needs 2 electrons to become an ion, and magnesium is able to give 2 away, so oxygen takes 2 from magnesium to form an ionic bond.

How many 3-liter balloons could the 12-L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm fill? Keep in mind that an "exhausted" helium tank i
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The 12L helium tank pressurized to 160 atm will fill <em>636 </em>3-liter balloons

Explanation:

It is possible to answer this question using Boyle's law:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

Where P₁ is the pressure of the tank (160atm), V₁ is the volume of the tank (12L), P₂ is the pressure of the balloons (1atm, atmospheric pressure) And V₂ is the volume this gas will occupy at 1 atm, thus:

160atm×12L = 1atm×V₂

V₂ = 1920L

As the tank will never be empty, the volume of the gas able to fill balloons is the total volume minus 12L, thus the volume of helium able to fill balloons is:

1920L - 12L = 1908L

1908L will fill:

1908L×\frac{1balloon}{3L} = <em>636 balloons</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

A bag of potato chips contains 585 mL of air at 20.0 C and a pressure of 765 mmHg. Assuming the bag does not break, what will be
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

volume = 972.23ml

Explanation:

using general gas law

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

765 x 585/293 = 443 x V2/282

1527.39 =443 x V2/282

1527.38 x 282 = 443 x V2

430695.78 = 443 x V2

V2 = 430695.68/443

V2 = 972.23mL

Which of the following is a factor in natural selection?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Although all of these answers are similar, it seems that all three are the answer. I am sorry if the answer ends up being B but I'm pretty sure the answer is D. Charles Darwin's evolution theory "evolved", get it, from the natural selection theory. The theory is described as "the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring." However, some factors that effect natural selection are competition, selection and variation. I believe all three fit the answer and therefore I believe answer D is correct.
