A magnesium ion, Mg2+, is formed from a magnesium atom, Mg.

Chemistry

Answer:

The correct row is B.

Explanation:

The formation of the magnesium ion, Mg²⁺, comes from the removal of 2 electrons from the valence shell of the magnesium atom.<em> </em>Since the remotion is of electrons, the nucleus of the atom remains the same, so the number of protons and the number of neutrons does not change.<em> </em>

If the number of proton change, then the atom also change, since the identity of an atom is related to the atomic number which is the same to the proton number.

Now, if the number of neutrons changes, then we would be in the presence of an isotope of the magnesium atom.

Therefore, the correct row is B.

I hope it helps you!

A mixture of ethyl acetate vapour and air has a relative saturation of 50% at 303 K and a total pressure of 100 kPa. If the vapo

AURORKA [14]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) 0.087

Explanation :

The formula used for relative saturation is:

$\text{Relative saturation}=\frac{P_A}{P_A^o}$

where,

$P_A$ = partial pressure of ethyl acetate

$P_A^o$ = vapor pressure of ethyl acetate

Given:

Relative saturation = 50 % = 0.5

Vapor pressure of ethyl acetate = 16 kPa

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$0.5=\frac{P_A}{16kPa}$

$P_A=8kPa$

Now we have to calculate the molar saturation.

The formula used for molar saturation is:

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{P_{vapor}}{P_{\text{vapor free}}}$

and,

P(vapor free) = Total pressure - Vapor pressure

P(vapor) = $P_A$ = 8 kPa

So,

P(vapor free) = 100 kPa - 8 kPa = 92 kPa

The molar saturation will be:

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{P_{vapor}}{P_{\text{vapor free}}}$

$\text{Molar saturation}=\frac{8kPa}{92kPa}=0.087$

Therefore, the molar saturation is 0.087
