Mg is 3 and they are two electrons in its outermost energy level. On the other hand, energy level of Ca is 4 and there are two electrons in its outermost level. In spite same number of electrons in their outermost levels, attraction between the nucleus and valence electrons of Mg is higher than that of Ca.

Answer:

Ca is more reactive because it has a lower

ionization energy than Mg. This is because it is lower in the periodic table. The added central electrons added over the extra period provide shielding in the center of the atom

He balanced equation for the reaction of acetylene, c2h2, and oxygen in an acetylene torch is 2 c2h2 + 5 o2 → 4 co2 + 2 h2o. in

pickupchik [31]

Answer: 0.4 g

Explanation:

1) Balanced chemical equation:

2) 2C2H2 + 5 O2 → 4CO2 + 2 H2O

3) mole ratios:

2 mol C2h2 : 5 mol O2

4) Convert 0.13 g C2H2 into number of moles

n = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass C2H2 = 2 *12g/mol + 2*1 g/mol = 26 g/mol

n = 0.13 g / 26 g/mol = 0.005 mol

5) Set the proportion with the unknown

5 mol O2 x
----------------- = ---------------
2 mol C2H2 0.005 mol C2H2

x = 0.005 mol C2H2 * 5 mol O2 / 2 mol C2H2 = 0.0125 mol O2

6) Convert 0.0125 mol O2 to grams

mass = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

mass = 0.0125 mol * 32 g/mol = 0.4 g

Answer: 0.4 g

Determine the molarity of a solution that contains 30 moles naoh in 0.80 liters of solution?

UkoKoshka [18]

Taking into account the definition of molarity, the molarity of a solution that contains 30 moles naoh in 0.80 liters of solution is 37.5 $\frac{moles}{liters}$ .

<h3>Definition of molarity</h3>

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

$Molarity=\frac{number of moles}{volume}$
