Which ion would represent the ion of an element from Group 2A?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ziro4ka [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

E²⁺

Explanation:

The group two contain alkaline earth metals.

There are six elements in group 2A.

Beryllium, Magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.

All members have two valance electrons.

They lose two valance electrons to complete the octet.

When they lose the two valance electrons they form cation X²⁺.

They react with halogens and form salt such as

MgCl₂, CaCl₂ etc.

Mg²⁺  Cl²⁻₂

The oxidation state of halogens are -1, while the elements of group two A shows +2 that's why two atoms of halogen are combine with one atom of alkaline earth metals and make the compound overall neutral.

All the alkaline earth metals have similar properties.

Paraphin [41]

<u>Answer:</u> The symbol of the ion formed is Ca^{2+}

<u>Explanation:</u>

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

Electronic configuration is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.

Number of electrons in an atom is determined by the atomic number of that atom.

The element present in Group 2-A and in period 4 is Calcium (Ca)

Electronic configuration of Ca atom:  1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2

This atom will loose 2 electrons to attain stable electronic configuration similar to Argon element (noble gas)

The electronic configration of Ca^{2+}\text{ ion}=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

Hence, the symbol of the ion formed is Ca^{2+}

A 35.0 ml sample of 0.225 m hbr was titrated with 42.3 ml of koh. What is the concentration of the koh?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The concentration of KOH is 0.186 M

Explanation:

First things first, we need too write out the balanced equation between HBr and KOH.

This is given as;

KOH (aq) + HBr (aq) → KBr (aq) + H2O (l)

From the reaction above, we can tell that it takes 1 mole of KOH to react with 1 mole of HBr.

We use the acid base formular in calculating unknown concentrations. This is given as;

\frac{CaVa}{CbVb}  = \frac{na}{nb}

where;

Ca = Concentration of acid

Va = Volume of acid

Cb = Concentration of base

Vb = Volume of base

na = Number of moles of acid

nb = Number of moles of base

KOH is the base and HBr is acid.

Hence;

Ca = 0.225

Va = 35

Cb = ?

Vb = 42.3

na = 1

nb = 1

Making Cb subject of formular we have;

Cb = \frac{CaVaNb}{VbNa}

Cb = (0.225 * 35 * 1) / (42.3 * 1)

Cb = 0.186 M
