Answer:

The formula of the magnesium halide is MgF₂

Explanation:

All halides, X, produce a salt with Mg with the formula:

MgX₂

<em>-There are 2 moles of the halide ion per mole of Mg-</em>

<em />

With the mass of the MgSO₄ we can find moles of magnesium sulfate  = Moles Mg.

With moles of Mg we can know the moles of the halide -1 mole Mg = 2 moles of Halide-

And we can find the mass of Mg in the 0.0776g sample. Subtracting we can find the mass of the halide and, with the mass and moles of the halide we can find its molecular weight and its identity:

<em>Moles MgSO₄ -Molar mass: 120.366g/mol- = Moles Mg:</em>

0.150g * (1mol / 120.366g) = 1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg

<em>Moles halide:</em>

1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg * 2 = <em>2.4924x10⁻³ moles Halide</em>

<em>Mass Mg -Molar mass: 24.305g/mol:</em>

1.2462x10⁻³ moles Mg * (24.305g / mol) = 0.0303g Mg

<em>Mass halide:</em>

0.0776g - 0.0303g Mg = <em>0.0473g</em>

<em>Molecular weight of the halide:</em>

0.0473g / 2.4924x10⁻³ moles =

18.98g/mol

This molecular weight is the molecular weight of Fluoride ion, F⁻,

The first excited electronic energy level of the helium atom is 3.13 x 10-18 J above the ground level. Estimate the temperature
salantis [7]

Answer:

75603.86473 K

Explanation:

Given that:

The 1st excited electronic energy level of He atom = 3.13 × 10⁻¹⁸  J

The objective of this question is to estimate the temperature at which the ratio of the population will be 5.0 between the first excited state to the ground state.

The formula for estimating the ratio of population in 1st excited state to the ground state can be computed as:

\dfrac{N_2}{N_1} = e ^{^{-\dfrac{(E_2-E_1)}{KT}}} =   e ^{^{-\dfrac{(\Delta E)}{KT}}}

From the above equation:

Δ E = energy difference =  3.13 × 10⁻¹⁸  J

k = Boltzmann constant = 1.38 × 10⁻²³  J/K

\dfrac{N_2}{N_1} = 0.5

Thus:

0.05 =e^{^{ -\dfrac{3.13 \times 10^{-18} \ J}{1.38\times 10^{-23 \ J/K}\times T}}}

In (0.05) = { -\dfrac{3.13 \times 10^{-18} \ J}{1.38\times 10^{-23 \ J/K}\times T}}}

-3.00 = { -\dfrac{3.13 \times 10^{-18} \ J}{1.38\times 10^{-23 \ J/K}\times T}}}

-3.00 = -226811.5942 \times \dfrac{1}{T}

T =  \dfrac{-226811.5942}{-3.00 }

T = 75603.86473 K

Select the true statements regarding these resonance structures of formate.? Each carbon-oyxgen bond is somewhere between a sing
son4ous [18]

Answer : Option 1) The true statement is each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond and the actual structure of format is an average of the two resonance forms.

Explanation : The actual structure of formate is found to be a resonance hybrid of the two resonating forms. The actual structure for formate do not switches back and forth between two resonance forms.

The O atom in the formate molecule with one bond and three lone pairs, in the resonance form left with reference to the attached image, gets changed into O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs.

Again, the O atom with two bonds and two lone pairs on the resonance form left, changed into O atom with one bond and three lone pairs. It concludes that each carbon-oxygen bond is neither a single bond nor a double bond; each carbon-oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond.

Also, it is seen that each oxygen atom does not have neither a double bond nor a single bond 50% of the time.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

1.S^{-}(g)+e^{-} \rightarrow S^{2-}(g)

2.Ti^{2+}(g) \rightarrow Ti^{3+}(g) \,\, IE = 2652.5\,kJ.mol^{-1}

3.The electron affinity of  Mg^{2+} is zero.

4.O^{2-}(g) \rightarrow O^{-}(g)+e^{-}

Explanation:

1.

<u>Electron affinity:</u>

It is defined as the amount of energy change when an electron is added to atom in the gaseous phase.

The electron affinity of S^{-} is as follows.

S^{-}(g)+e^{-} \rightarrow S^{2-}(g)

2.

<u>Ionization energy</u>:

Amount of energy required to removal of an electron from an isolated gaseous atom.

The third ionization energy of Titanium is as follows.

Ti^{2+}(g) \rightarrow Ti^{3+}(g) \,\, IE = 2652.5\,kJ.mol^{-1}

3.

The electronic configuration of Mg: 1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}

By the removal of two electrons from a magnesium element we get Mg^{2+} ion.

Mg^{2+} has inert gas configuration i.e,1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}

Hence, it does not require more electrons to get stability.

Therefore,the electron affinity of  Mg^{2+} is zero.

4.

The ionization energy of O^{2-} is follows.

O^{2-}(g) \rightarrow O^{-}(g)+e^{-}
