Answer:
It would change the charge of the atom.
Explanation:
Added electrons cause atoms to be negatively charged, lost electrons cause atoms to be positively charged.
what?? please reword this
Answer:

Explanation:
When calculating an empirical formula from percentages, assume you have a 100g sample. This allows you to convert the percentages directly to grams, because X % of 100g is X grams.
So:
24.42 % = 24.42 g Ca, 17.07% = 17.07g N, 58.5% = 58.5g O
The next step is to divide each mass by their molar mass to convert your grams to moles.
24.42/40.08 = 0.6092 mol
17.07/14.01 = 1.218 mol
58.85/15.99 = 3.680 mol
Then you will divide all of your mol values by the SMALLEST number of moles. This gives you whole numbers that are the mole ratio (subcripts) of the empircal formula.
0.6092 mol/0.6092 mol = 1
1.218 mol/0.6092 mol = 2
3.680 mol/0.6092 mol = 6
So the empirical formula is 
Answer:
0.0583g
Explanation:
The equation of the reaction is;
2HNO3(aq) + Mg(OH)2(aq) -------> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
From the question, number of moles of HNO3 reacted= concentration × volume
Concentration of HNO3= 0.100 M
Volume of HNO3 = 20.00mL
Number of moles of HNO3= 0.100 × 20/1000
Number of moles of HNO3 = 2×10^-3 moles
From the reaction equation;
2 moles of HNO3 reacts with 1 mole of Mg(OH)2
2×10^-3 moles reacts with 2×10^-3 moles ×1/2 = 1 ×10^-3 moles of Mg(OH)2
But
n= m/M
Where;
n= number of moles of Mg(OH)2
m= mass of Mg(OH)2
M= molar mass of Mg(OH)2
m= n×M
m= 1×10^-3 moles × 58.3 gmol-1
m = 0.0583g
