In a simple model of a neutral magnesium atom with the elements most common mass number. What must happen to an atom of magnesiu

m in order to become a magnesium ion MG^+2 ? Does it lose two electrons and become an ion? or does it lose two neutrons and become a different isotope?

It loses two electrons to become an ion.

(As Neutrons carry no charge changing them would not effect the atom so that's how you know it's the electron :) )

Rank the solutions in order of decreasing [H3O ]. Rank solutions from largest to smallest hydronium ion concentration. To rank i
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

0.10M HCN  <  0.10 M HClO  <  0.10 M HNO₂  < 0.10 M HNO₃

Explanation:

We are comparing acids with the same concentration. So what we have to do first is to determine if we have any strong acid and for the rest ( weak acids ) compare them by their Ka´s ( look for them in reference tables ) since we know the larger the Ka, the more Hydronium concentration will be in these solutions at the same concentration.

HNO₃ is a strong acid and will have the largest hydronium concentration.

HCN  Ka = 6.2 x 10⁻¹⁰

HNO₂ Ka = 4.0 x 10⁻⁴

HClO  Ka = 3.0 x 10⁻⁸

The ranking from smallest to largest hydronium concentration will then be:

0.10M HCN  <  0.10 M HClO  <  0.10 M HNO₂  < 0.10 M HNO₃

A solution of methanol and water has a mole fraction of water of 0.312 and a total vapor pressure of 211 torr at 39.9 ºC. The va
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The solution is not ideal.

The relative strengths of the solute-solvent interactions are greater  compared to the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions

Explanation:

The total vapor pressure is the sum of the partial pressures of  water and methanol, and they are calculated by the Raoult´s law equation:

Pₐ = Xₐ Pºₐ, where  Pₐ is the partial pressure of component A

                              Xₐ is the molar fraction of A

                              P⁰ₐ is the pressure of pure A

So lets calculate the partial pressures of methanol and water and compare them with the given total vapor pressure of solution:

X H2O = 0.312 ⇒ X CH3OH = 1 - 0.312 = 0.688

PH2O = 0.312 x 55.3 torr =  17.3 torr

PCH3OH = 0.688 x 256 torr = 176.1 torr

Ptotal = PH2O  + PCH3OH  = 17.3 torr + 176.1 torr = 193.4 torr

This pressure is less than the experimental value of 211 torr. So the solution is not ideal. The relative strength of the solute-solvent interactions are greater than the solute-solute and solvent-solvent interactions.

The reason for this is the presence of hydrogen bonding between methanol and water.
