Answer:

B. Two chlorine atoms

Explanation:

This electronic configuration shows that the given atom is magnesium.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg¹² = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

There are two valance electrons of magnesium that's why it would react with two atoms of chlorine. Chlorine is present in seventeen group. It has seven valance electrons. It required just one electron to get complete octet. While magnesium needed to lose two electrons to get complete octet. That's why two chlorine atoms bonded with one magnesium atom. Thus both would get complete octet.

Mg + Cl₂  →   MgCl₂

What is the pH of a 0.100 M HI solution? Is that neutral, acidic, or basic? acidic What is the pOH of a 0.100 M HI solution? Is
inessss [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH and pOH of the solution is 1 and 13 respectively and the solution is acidic in nature.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are three types of solution: acidic, basic and neutral

To determine the type of solution, we look at the pH values.

  • The pH range of acidic solution is 0 to 6.9
  • The pH range of basic solution is 7.1 to 14
  • The pH of neutral solution is 7.

We are given:

Concentration of HI = 0.100 M

1 mole of HI produces 1 mole of hydrogen ions and 1 mole of iodide ions

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

[H^+]=0.100M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=-\log(0.100)\\\\pH=1

To calculate the pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH + pOH = 14

pOH=14-1=13

Hence, the pH and pOH of the solution is 1 and 13 respectively and the solution is acidic in nature.
