How many electrons are in mg2+?

1 answer:

7 0

(Pay attention to the subject you're choosing, this is supposed to be in the Chemistry section, not here in the Mathematics)
On the periodic table, the Magnesium Mg is located in period 3, group 2. So it got 12 electrons.
So to become the cation Mg2+, the Magnesium has lost 2 electrons during it's formation.
So 12-2=10.
So there's 10 electrons in the Cation magnesium Mg2+

Hope this Helps! :)

A closed box with a square base is to have a volume of 171 comma 500 cm cubed. The material for the top and bottom of the box co

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$C(x)=\dfrac{20x^3+1715000}{x}\\$Minimum cost, C(35)=\$29,400$

The dimensions that will lead to minimum cost of the box are a base length of 35 cm and a height of 140 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the Square-Based box=171,500 cubic cm

Let the length of a side of the base=x cm

Volume $=x^2h$

$x^2h=171,500\\h=\dfrac{171500}{x^2}$

The material for the top and bottom of the box costs $10.00 per square centimeter.

Surface Area of the Top and Bottom $=2x^2$

Therefore, Cost of the Top and Bottom $=\$10X2x^2=20x^2$

The material for the sides costs $2.50 per square centimeter.

Surface Area of the Sides=4xh

Cost of the sides=$2.50 X 4xh =10xh

$\text{Substitute h}$=\dfrac{171500}{x^2} $into 10xh\\Cost of the sides=10x(\dfrac{171500}{x^2})=\dfrac{1715000}{x}$

Therefore, total Cost of the box

$= 20x^2+\dfrac{1715000}{x}\\C(x)=\dfrac{20x^3+1715000}{x}$

To find the minimum total cost, we solve for the critical points of C(x). This is obtained by equating its derivative to zero and solving for x.

$C'(x)=\dfrac{40x^3-1715000}{x^2}\\\dfrac{40x^3-1715000}{x^2}=0\\40x^3-1715000=0\\40x^3=1715000\\x^3=1715000\div 40\\x^3=42875\\x=\sqrt[3]{42875}=35$

Recall that:

$h=\dfrac{171500}{x^2}\\Therefore:\\h=\dfrac{171500}{35^2}=140cm$

The dimensions that will lead to minimum costs are base length of 35cm and height of 140cm.

Therefore, the minimum total cost, at x=35cm

$C(35)=\dfrac{20(35)^3+1715000}{35}=\$29,400$

wariber [46]

Student is wrong An exterior angle of a triangle can be adjacent to the right angle of a right triangle, so an exterior angle can be a right angle.

<h3>What is exterior angle?</h3>

The Exterior Angle is the angle between any side of a shape, and a line extended from the next side.

The student make an error he states that the exterior angle of a triangle can never be a right angle.

The correct answer will be option D that is An exterior angle of a triangle can be adjacent to the right angle of a right triangle, so an exterior angle can be a right angle.I have also attached the diagram of the triangle for better understanding.

pantera1 [17]

Assuming that the year has 52 weeks in it, (not a leap year) the machine would produce 520,000. You need to multiply the amount of hours worked by how many items the machine makes in an hour. 40x250=10000. Then you need to multiply the amount of items made in a week by 52 (the number of weeks in a year). 10000x52=520000.
