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 :) )

How many grams of O2 are required to burn 18 grams of C5H12?<br><br> C5H12 + 8O2  5CO2 + 6H2O
DIA [1.3K]
Molar mass :

O2 = 31.99 g/mol

C5H12 = 72.14 g/mol

<span>C5H12 + 8 O2 = 5 CO2 + 6 H2O
</span>
74.14 g ----------------- 8 x 31.99 g
18 g -------------------- ? ( mass of O2)

18 x 8 x 31.99 / 74.14 =

4606.56 / 74.14 => 62.133 g of O2

hope this helps!

Given: CaC2 + N2 → CaCN2 + C In this chemical reaction, how many grams of N2 must be consumed to produce 265 grams of CaCN2? Exp
weeeeeb [17]

Answer : The grams of N_2 consumed is, 89.6 grams.

Solution : Given,

Mass of CaCN_2 = 265 g

Molar mass of CaCN_2 = 80 g/mole

Molar mass of N_2 = 28 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of CaCN_2.

\text{Moles of }CaCN_2=\frac{\text{Mass of }CaCN_2}{\text{Molar mass of }CaCN_2}=\frac{265g}{80g/mole}=3.2moles

The given balanced reaction is,

CaC_2+N_2\rightarrow CaCN_2+C

from the reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of CaCN_2 produces from 1 mole of N_2

So, 3.2 moles of CaCN_2 produces from 3.2 moles of N_2

Now we have to calculate the mass of N_2

\text{Mass of }N_2=\text{Moles of }N_2\times \text{Molar mass of }N_2

\text{Mass of }N_2=(3.2moles)\times (28g/mole)=89.6g

Therefore, the grams of N_2 consumed is, 89.6 grams.

A pressure cooker contains 5.68 liters of air at a temperature of 394 K. If the absolute pressure of the air in the pressure coo
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find out volume of air at NTP or at 273 K and 10⁵ Pa ( 1 atm )

Let it be V₂

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

\frac{2\times 10^5\times 5.68}{394} =\frac{10^5\times V_2}{273}

V₂ = 7.87 litres

22.4 litres of any gas is equivalent to 1 mole

7.87 litres of air will be equivalent to

7.87 / 22.4 moles

= .35 moles .

Chemical substances that dissolve in water or react with water to release ions are known as
disa [49]
The answer is electrolytes. Strong electrolytes like strong acids, strong bases and salts dissociate completely into ions when dissolved and no neutral molecules are present in their solution. Weak electrolytes like weak acids and weak bases do not completely ionize in water and some neutral molecules are present in their solution, while nonelectrolytes do not dissociate into ions when in solution at all.
