If an atom has an electron configuration of 2.8.2, what will it be most likely to bond with?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kipish [7]3 years ago
3 0

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 balanced equation for the reaction of aqueous cesium sulfate and aqueous barium perchlorate?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

Cs_2SO_4(aq)+Ba(ClO_4)_2(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2CsClO_4(aq)

Explanation:

When aqueous cesium sulfate and aqueous barium perchlorate are mixed together it gives white precipitate barium sulfate and aqueous solution od cesium perchlorate.

The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

Cs_2SO_4(aq)+Ba(ClO_4)_2(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+2CsClO_4(aq)

According to reaction, 1 mole of cesium sulfate reacts with 1 mole of barium perchlorate to give 1 mole of a white precipitate of barium sulfate and 2 moles of cesium perchlorate.

What is the volume occupied by 4.20 miles of oxygen gas (O2) at STP
Drupady [299]

Answer: 94.13 L

Explanation: In STP in an ideal gas there is a standard value for both temperature and pressure. At STP,pressure is equal to 1atm and the temperature at 0°C is equal to 273.15K. This problem is an ideal gas so we use PV=nRT where R is a constant R= 0.08205 L.atm/mol.K.

To find volume, derive the equation, it becomes V=nRT/P. Substitute the values. V= 4.20 mol( 0.08205L.atm/mol.K)(273.15K) / 1 atm = 94.13 L. The mole units, atm and K will be cancelled out and L will be the remaining unit which is for volume.

a steel cylinder is left out in the sun the pressure at 2:00 pm was 1014 kpa at 33.0 c at 7:00 am at a temperature of 21.4c what
e-lub [12.9K]
The easiest way is to use the Law of Gay-Lussac. This law states that there is a direct relation between the temperature in Kelvin of a gas and the pressure.

Then, namig p the pressure and T the temperature in Kelvin and using subscripts for every state:

p/T is constant ==> p_1 / T_1 = p_2/T_2

From which you obtain:

p_2 = [p_1 / T_1] * T_2

T_1 = 33.0 + 273.15 = 306.15 K
T _2 = 21.4 + 273.15 = 294.55 K

p_1 = 1014 kPa

p_2 = 1014 kPa * 294.55 K / 306.15 K = 975.6 kPa

According to the balanced equation shown below, 1.00 mole of oxalic acid, h2c2o4, reacts with _________ moles of permanganate io
zheka24 [161]
The balanced equation that shows the reaction between oxalic acid and permanganate ion in an acidic medium is: 2MnO4- + 5H2C2O4 + 6H+ -> 2Mn(2+) + 10CO2 + 8H2O. Thus, 1 mole of oxalic acid reacts with 0.4 mole of permanganate ion. This was obtained using stoichiometry:

1 mol H2C2O4 x (2 mol MnO4-/ 5 mol H2C2O4) = 0.4 mol MnO4- 

In this redox reaction, the permanganate is reduced to manganese(II) ion.
