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

Chemistry
1 answer:
konstantin123 [22]2 years ago
5 0

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!

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction: Mg + HCl &gt; H2 + MgCl2 ?​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Chemical equation:

Mg + HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 36.5 g = 2 g+ 95 g

60.5 g = 97 g

The reaction does not hold the law of conservation of mass, because it is not balanced.

Balanced chemical equation:

Mg + 2HCl → H₂ + MgCl₂

24 g + 73 g = 2 g+ 95 g

97 g = 97 g

this equation completely follow the law of conservation of mass.

Chlorine has two isotopes, 35Cl and 37Cl; 75.77 % of chlorine is 35Cl and 24.23 % is 37Cl. The atomic mass of 35Cl is 34.969 amu
storchak [24]

Answer:

35.4528731 amu

Explanation:

To appropriately get the atomic mass unit of chlorine, we can get the answer using the masses from the isotopes. This can be obtained as follows. What we do is that we multiply the percentage compositions by the masses.

Now let’s do this.

[75.77/100 * 34.969] + [24.23/100 * 36.966]

= 26.4960113 + 8.9568618 = 35.4528731

if i add water to 100 mL of a 0.75 M NaOH solution un til the final volume is 165mL what will the molarity of the diluted soluti
ehidna [41]
Answer is: <span>the molarity of the diluted solution 0,454 M.
</span>V₁(NaOH) = 100 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0,1 L.
c₁(NaOH) = 0,75 M = 0,75 mol/L.
n₁(NaOH) = c₁(NaOH) · V₁(NaOH).
n₁(NaOH) = 0,75 mol/L · 0,1 L.
n₁(NaOH) = 0,075 mol
n₂(NaOH) = n₁(NaOH) = 0,075 mol.
V₂(NaOH) = 165 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0,165 L.
c₂(NaOH) = n₂(NaOH) ÷ V₂(NaOH).
c₂(NaOH) = 0,075 mol ÷ 0,165 L.
c₂(NaOH) = 0,454 mol/L.
