Answer: Mg is being oxidized.

Explanation:

The chemical equation for magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and an aqueous solution of magnesium (II) chloride.

Mg(s)+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)

Oxidation reaction : When there is a loss of electrons and an increase in oxidation state number.

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction reaction : when there is gain of electrons and a decrease in oxidation state number.

2H^{+}+2e^-\rightarrow H_2

Thus Mg is being oxidized.

Describe what happens to a carbon-11 atom when it undergoes positron emission.
atroni [7]

Answer:C11 -----^boron+positron

Explanation:the above reaction is nuclear reaction.

Positron emission causes the decrease in atomic number by one.

As in above example carbon-11is converted into boron isotop which has atomic number of 5.

A 0.2121g sample of an organic compound was burned in a stream of oxygen and the carbon dioxide produced was collected in a stre
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 17.26% of carbon

Explanation:

Data

CxHy = 0.2121 g

BaCO₃ = 0.6006 g

Molecular mass BaCO₃ = 137 + 12 + 48 = 197 g

Reaction

                    CO₂  +  Ba(OH)₂  ⇒   BaCO₃  +  H₂O

Process

1.- Find the amount of carbon in BaCO₃

                              197 g of BaCO₃   ---------------  12 g of Carbon

                               0.6006 g           ----------------    x

                               x = (0.6006 x 12) / 197

                               x = 0.0366 g of carbon

2.- Calculate the percentage of carbon in the organic compound

           0.2121 g of organic compound  ---------------  100%

           0.0366g                                       --------------    x

                              x = (0.0366 x 100) / 0.2121

                              x = 17.26%

A metal atom loses electrons from its outermost energy level and acquires a...... Charge. These electrons join a nonmetal atom.
sp2606 [1]

Answer : A metal atom loses electrons from its outermost energy level and acquires a Positive Charge. These electrons join a nonmetal atom. The ionic compound formed because of this transfer of electrons is electrically Neutral.

Explanation :

All the elements try to acquire octet state by gaining or losing electrons. For metals, the number of valence electrons are less and it is easier to lose these electrons.

When electrons are lost, the number of protons become more than the electrons. This creates an excess of positive charge. As a result the species becomes positively charged and is known as cation.

During formation of ionic bond, metals always form a positive ion (cation) by losing electrons. These electrons are accepted by the nonmetals and they become negatively charged. A negatively charged ion is known as anion and nonmetals always form an anion.

These are attracted to each other due to the opposite charges present on them. In an ionic compound they balance the charges on each other making the compound neutral.

From the above discussion, we can fill in the blanks as follows.

A metal atom loses electrons from its outermost energy level and acquires a Positive Charge. These electrons join a nonmetal atom. The ionic compound formed because of this transfer of electrons is electrically Neutral.
