Which corresponds to the composition of the ion typically formed by magnesium?

1 answer:

3 0

The ion composition of Magnesium is 12,10, 2+.
Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and an atomic number 12, it has 12 protons, and 12 electrons with a chemical configuration of 2:8:2. It requires to loose two electrons to form a stable configuration forming a cation (positively charged ion) with a charge of +2 and a configuration of 2:8 ( 12 protons and 10 electrons).

Answer:

iodine

Explanation:

In the presence of starch, iodine turns a blue/black colour. It is possible to distinguish starch from glucose (and other carbohydrates) using this iodine solution test. For example, if iodine is added to a peeled potato then it will turn black. Benedict's reagent can be used to test for glucose.

What is the empirical formula for c12h24o6? what is the empirical formula for c12h24o6? ch2o cho c2h5o c2h4o cho2?

stira [4]

Empirical formula: The formula consist of proportions of the elements which is present in the compound or the simplest whole number ratios of atoms.

Now, molecular formula is equal to the product of n (ratio) and empirical formula.

Molecular formula = $n\times empirical formula$ (1)

molecular formula = $C_{12}H_{24}O_{6}$ (given)

Since, 6 is the smallest subscript in above molecular formula to get the simpler whole number of atoms. Therefore, divide all the subscripts i.e. number of carbon atoms (12), number of hydrogen atoms (24) and number of oxygen atoms (6) by 6.

empirical formula becomes $C_{2}H_{4}O$
