Answer:

We know based on the charges of each ion and the fact that they must always sum to 0

Explanation:

Na only has one outer electon to give so it is always +1

Mg has two outer electrons so it always gets +2

Halogens have one "missing" electron in their outer shell so they get a -1

For NaCl  (+1) + (-1) = 0

For MgI2 (+2) + 2(-1) = 0

Cell theory states that all the living organisms are made up of basic structural and functional units, cells. All cells divide and give rise to new cells. All the cells have similar chemical composition. The nuclei acid DNA present in the chromosomes helps in carrying hereditary information from generation to generation. So, in order to sustain life the cells must contain DNA either enclosed in the nucleus or freely floating in the cytoplasm.

If it requires 23.4 milliliters of 0.65 molar barium hydroxide to neutralize 42.5 milliliters of nitric acid, solve for the mola
rodikova [14]
Volume Ba(OH)2 = 23.4 mL in liters : 

23.4 / 1000 => 0.0234 L

Molarity  Ba(OH)2 = 0.65 M

Volume HNO3 = 42.5 mL in liters:

42.5 / 1000 => 0.0425 L

number of moles Ba(OH)2 :

n = M x V

n = 0.65 x 0.0234 

n = 0.01521 moles of Ba(OH)2

Mole ratio :

<span>Ba(OH)2 + 2 HNO3 = Ba(NO3)2 + 2 H2O
</span>
1 mole Ba(OH)2 ---------------- 2 moles HNO3
 0.01521 moles ----------------- moles HNO3

moles HNO3 = 0.01521 x 2 / 1

moles HNO3 = 0.03042 / 1

= 0.03042 moles HNO3

Therefore:

M ( HNO3 ) = n / volume ( HNO3 )

M ( HNO3 ) =  0.03042 / 0.0425

M ( HNO3 ) = 0.715 M

the atomic number of barium is 56. What do you know about the subatomic particles in an atom of this element ?
Deffense [45]
You definitely know that is has 56 protons and 56 electrons because atomic number is proton number and protons=electrons

How spectral lines are formed
Ket [755]

=Spectral lines are produced by transitions of electrons within atoms or ions. As the electrons move closer to or farther from the nucleus of an atom (or of an ion), energy in the form of light (or other radiation) is emitted or absorbed.…
