Answer:

The statements that describe Mg are:

1. is very reactive as a metal  

2. forms a basic solution in water  

3. is found in nature only combined with other elements

Explanation:

Magnesium is a s-block chemical element that belongs to group 2 and period 3 of the periodic table. It is a <u>reactive alkaline earth metal</u><u> that exists in </u><u>nature</u><u> only in the </u><u>combined state</u> with elements such as carbon, calcium and oxygen.

<u>Magnesium reacts with water </u>at room temperature, to give <u>strongly basic metal oxide</u> of the formula, MgO, which forms a <u>basic solution in water</u><u>.</u>

It also <u>reacts vigorously with halogens</u> such as chlorine and bromine, <u>to form salts.</u>

What effect does a high carbon level have on a deep ocean
oksian1 [2.3K]

Explanation:

High carbon concentration in the deep ocean means increased absorption of carbon to the atmosphere resulting to even greater and harmful amounts of carbon in the atmosphere. Therefore we need to keep a close eye of the deep ocean in the quest to monitor and pump out excess carbon from this part of marine life.

An object is found to have a mass of 54.3 g. Find the object’s density, if its volume is 47.18 cm3
Schach [20]

Answer:

d≈ 1.15 g/cm^3

Explanation:

The density of an object can be found by dividing the mass over the volume.

d= m/v

The mass of the object is 54.3 grams and the volume is 47.18 cubic centimeters.

m= 54.3 g

v= 47.18 cm^3

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= 54.3 g/ 47.18 cm

Divide.

d= 1.150911403136922 g/cm^3

Let’s round to the nearest hundredth. The 0 in the thousandth place tells us to leave the 5 in the hundredth place.

d ≈ 1.15 g/cm^3

The density is about 1.15 grams per cubic centimeter.

Consider the reaction. CaCl2(aq)+K2CO3(aq)⟶CaCO3+2KCl. Identify the precipitate, or lack thereof, for the reaction. (A) KCl (B)
Natali5045456 [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Precipitate is defined as insoluble solid substance that emerges when two different aqueous solutions are mixed together. It usually settles down at the bottom of the solution after sometime.

For the given chemical equation:

CaCl_2(aq.)+K_2CO_3(aq.)\rightarrow CaCO_3(s)+2KCl(aq.)

The products formed in the reaction are calcium carbonate and potassium chloride. Out of the two products, one of them is insoluble which is calcium carbonate. Thus, it is considered as a precipitate.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

does anyone know how to find the electron configuration of an element without using a periodic table?? group and period is alrea
snow_lady [41]
For that you have to use the Aufbau principle

For example, writing the electronic configuration of Fe(28)

I recommend that you memorize the aufbau principle. Once you learn it, you don’t need anything else except the atomic number of the element to write it’s electronic configuration.
