Oxygen gains two electrons when it bonds to form a complete outer shell and magnesium loses two electrons when bonding to gain its full outer shell.
As electrons are negative, the oxygen (which gains electrons) will become negative and the magnesium (which loses electrons) will become positive.
The negative and positive ions will then attract to one another due to the magnetic pull of the positive and negative.
Its been awhile since I've dabbled in chemistry, but i do know that A isnt the answer because the question says solution, not mixture. This looks somewhat like a trick question, it says individual components, so the answer would be C. This is because the individual components do react to form a compound. B and D would be true if it didnt say individual components, so the question is basically focusing on only one ingredient, not the whole solution. Answer: C
Answer:
58.9mL
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial volume = 34.3mL = 0.0343dm³
Initial concentration = 1.72mM = 1.72 x 10⁻³moldm⁻³
Final concentration = 1.00mM = 1 x 10⁻³ moldm⁻³
Unknown:
Final volume =?
Solution:
Often times, the concentration of a standard solution may have to be diluted to a lower one by adding distilled water. To find the find the final volume, we must recognize that the number of moles of the substance in initial and final solutions are the same.
Therefore;
C₁V₁ = C₂V₂
where C and V are concentration and 1 and 2 are initial and final states.
now input the variables;
1.72 x 10⁻³ x 0.0343 = 1 x 10⁻³ x V₂
V₂ = 0.0589dm³ = 58.9mL
You can put a known amount sodium into some sort of time release mechanism such as a pill made from soluble material. Then you can place the sodium into a calorimeter with a known mass of water and record the temperature change the water undergoes during the reaction. Then you can use the equation q(water)=m(water)c(water)ΔT to find the amount of heat absorbed by the water. since the amount of heat absorbed by the water is the amount of heat released from the sodium, q(sodium)=-q(water). Than you can use the equation q(sodium)=m(sodium)c(sodium)ΔT and solve for c(sodium)
I hope this helps and feel free to ask about anything that was unclear in the comments.
