N the reaction Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 which element’s oxidation number does not change?

Chemistry
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:- Oxidation number of Cl does not change as it is -1 on both sides.

Explanations:- oxidation number of Mg on reactant side is 0 as it is in its elemental form(not combined with another element).

Oxidation number  of hydrogen in its compounds is +1, so if H is +1 in HCl the oxidation number of Cl is -1 as the sum has to be zero.

On product side, Mg oxidation number is +2 as the oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2.

Two Cl are present in magnesium chloride, so if Mg is +2 then Cl is -1.

Oxidation number of H on product side is 0 as it is present in its elemental for, H_2 ,

So, it is only chlorine(Cl) whose oxidation number does not change for the given equation.

What geometric shape is the carbon dioxide molecule? The Lewis structure for CO2 contains two double bonds.
adelina 88 [10]
Answer: Linear

Explaination: The central atom of a carbon dioxide molecule is carbon. Carbon is tetravalent which just means it has 4 valence electrons. Because the valence shell isn’t full, the carbon atom can bond with other atoms creating a total of 4 bonds. This then allows the carbon to double bond with 2 oxygen atoms. Now, the atoms in the CO2 molecule Don’t share the electrons evenly because of atomic number or proton count. Because oxygen has an atomic number of 6, carbon has an atomic number of 4, and opposites attract (referring to the positivity of the nucleus and the negativity of the shared electrons), the oxygen atoms will have a slightly negative charge (-) and the oxygen will have a slightly positive charge (+ ). Therefore, the slightly negative oxygen atoms repel creating that linear shape.

A person walking covers 5.20 m in 10.4 s. How fast is the person moving?
salantis [7]

Answer:

<h2>0.50 m/s</h2><h2></h2>

Explanation:

Velocity = distance over time

where distance = 5.20 m

                   time = 10.4 s.

velocity = <u>  5.20  m </u>

                  10.4 s.

            = 0.50 m/s
