Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
Magnesium is an alkali earth metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. Due to this, and their differences in electronegativity, the elements form an ionic bond. Since magnesium has two valence electrons, it will give them up to two chlorine atoms (which has 7 valence electrons), which needs them to complete its octet. From this, magnesium forms a cation, and will have the ion formula Mg(2+). The two chlorine atoms form anions, and will have the ion formula Cl(1-).
Terms:
- Cation: a positively charged ion
- Anion: a negatively charge ion.
- Electronegativity: the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.

Answer:
p3=0.36atm (partial pressure of NOCl)
Explanation:
2 NO(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ 2 NOCl(g) Kp = 51
lets assume the partial pressure of NO,Cl2 , and NOCl at eequilibrium are P1 , P2,and P3 respectively
![Kp=\frac{[NOCl]^{2} }{[NO]^{2} [Cl_2] }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Kp%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BNOCl%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7B%5BNO%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%5BCl_2%5D%20%7D)
![Kp=\frac{[p3]^{2} }{[p1]^{2} [p2] }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Kp%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5Bp3%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7B%5Bp1%5D%5E%7B2%7D%20%5Bp2%5D%20%7D)
p1=0.125atm;
p2=0.165atm;
p3=?
Kp=51;
On solving;
p3=0.36atm (partial pressure of NOCl)
Answer:

Explanation:
The question will be easier to solve if we interpret it as, " How long will it take until one-fourth of a sample of the element remains,?"
The half-life of the element is the time it takes for half of it to decay.
After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.
After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.
We can construct a table as follows:
