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]2 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

Determine the overall energy change for the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen shown in Question 13. Use Figure 2.
zimovet [89]

Answer:

–500KJ

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Heat of reactant (Hr) = 800KJ

Heat of product (Hp) = 300KJ

Enthalphy change (ΔH) =..?

The enthalphy change is simply defined as the difference between the heat of product and the heat of reactant i.e

Enthalphy change = Heat of product – Heat of reactant

ΔH = Hp – Hr

With the above formula, we can easily calculate the enthalphy change as follow

ΔH = Hp – Hr

ΔH = 300 – 800

ΔH = –500KJ.

Therefore, the overall energy change for the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen shown in the diagram above is –500KJ

Which statement is true about the relationship between entropy and spontaneity? O Spontaneous reactions tend to lead to higher e
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The true statement is: Spontaneous reactions tend to lead to higher entropy.

Explanation:

The spontaneity of a reaction is linked to the value of Gibbs free energy (ΔG°). The more negative is this value, the more spontaneous is a reaction. At the same time, Gibbs free energy depends on enthalpy (ΔH°) and entropy (ΔS°), according to the following expression:

ΔG° = ΔH° - T.ΔS°

We can see that higher entropies (higher ΔS°) lead to more negative ΔG°, thus, more spontaneous reactions.

PLEASE HELP <br> What is the pH of a weak acid solution that has an [H+] of 2.1 × 10^–6 M
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

pH ( potential Hydrogen ) is a negative logarithm of molar concentration of hydrogen ions.

pH =  -  log[H {}^{ + } ]

therefore:

pH =  -   log(2.1 \times  {10}^{ - 6} )  \\ { \boxed{pH = 5.68}}
