Answer:

The electronic configuration of the magnesium atom shows that it has two unpaired outermost shell electrons while that of oxygen shows that it has six outermost shell electrons with two of them unpaired.

By means of elecron transfer, magnesium atom donates its two electrons to the oxygen atom to now have a charge of +2 while the oxygen then has a charge of -2. This results in an ionic bonding between the two atoms.

The structure is found in the attachment below

Is it true that soaps are salts of sulfonic acids though some have been made from alkyl sulphonates​
Neko [114]

Answer:

It is false.

Soaps are sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids.

Synthetic detergents on the other hand, are salts of long-chain alkyl sulfuric  acids (sulfonic acid) or alkylbenzenesulfonic acids, rather than carboxylic acids.

Explanation:

Soaps are sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids. Soaps are made by the process of saponification in which an alkali is added to a fat or oil and then boiled to produce a salt of the fatty acid known as soap. The alkali used may be sodium or potassium hydroxide. However, the advantage of potassium soaps is that are more soluble and lather more easily.

<em>Salts of sulfonic acids or alkylbenzenesulphonates are known as detergents</em>. Unlike soaps, they are not salts of fatty acids and are more soluble in hard water, because the polar sulfonate ion of detergents does not readily bind to calcium and other ions found in hard water. Thus, detergents are more widely used as cleansing agents than soaps

A 25 liter gas cylinder contains 10 mole of carbon dioxide. Calculate the pressure, in atm, of the gas at 325K.
Arada [10]

<u>Answer:</u> The pressure of carbon dioxide gas is 11 atm

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pressure of gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = ?

V = Volume of gas = 25 L

n = number of moles of gas = 10 mole

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

T = temperature of the gas = 325 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

P\times 25L=10mol\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 325K\\\\P=11atm

Hence, the pressure of carbon dioxide gas is 11 atm

Consider the following equilibrium:H2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + HCO3-1(aq).What is the correct equilibrium expression?
Vanyuwa [196]

The equilibrium expression shows the ratio between products and reactants. This expression is equal to the concentration of the products raised to its coefficient divided by the concentration of the reactants raised to its coefficient. The correct equilibrium expression for the given reaction is:<span>

<span>H2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) = H3O+(aq) + HCO3-1(aq)

Kc = [HCO3-1] [H3O+] / [H2O] [H2CO3]</span></span>

How do you explain the relatively high conductivity of tap water compared to a low or zero conductivity for distilled water?
gladu [14]
Tap water contains many dissolved ions that are required to carry an electric current, whilst distilled water contains no or relatively low amounts of dissolved ions. the absence of ions in the distilled water accounts for the low to zero conductivity of the water

hope that helps!
