Answer: Belongs to the group 2A

Explanation:

As you can see, the first two ionization energies are close and low, meaning that this element ionizates easily.

Not only loses easily the first electron, but the second too

To remove the third electron you requiered a huge amount of energy

Now, elements easily ionizable are the ones from group IA, group 2A and transition metals.

The last ones have mixed characteristics in matter of how many electrons you can remove from them, so they are not a family.

Now the question: group I or group II ?

The elements of group I have low ionization energies for the first electron but high energies for the second ones.

Being all that said, the unknown element belongs to the Group 2A

Which of the following elements would make a 2- ion? <br> A. N<br> B. O <br> C. Si<br> D. Mg

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

oxygen

Explanation:

because the 2nd shell is not complete which is suppose to be 8 and since oxygen is 8 it first shell is 2 which is complete and the second shell which is 6 is not complete because we all know that 2+6=8 but the standard shell is

K-2

The burning of magnesium is a highly exothermic reaction. How many kilojoules of heat are released when 0. 75 mol of Mg burn in

alexandr402 [8]

Taking into account the definition of enthalpy of a chemical reaction, the quantity of heat released when 0.75 moles of Mg are burned is 451.5 kJ.

<h3>Enthalpy of a chemical reaction</h3>

The enthalpy of a chemical reaction is known as the heat absorbed or released in a chemical reaction when it occurs at constant pressure. That is, the heat of reaction is the energy that is released or absorbed when chemicals are transformed into a chemical reaction.

The enthalpy is an extensive property, that is, it depends on the amount of matter present.

<h3>Heat released in this case</h3>

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

2 Mg(s) + O₂ (g) → 2 MgO(s) + 1204 kJ

This equation indicates that when 2 moles of Mg reacts with 1 mole of O₂, 1204 kJ of heat is released.

When 0.75 moles of Mg are burned, then you can apply the following rule of three: if 2 moles of Mg releases 1204 kJ of heat, 0.75 moles of Mg releases how much heat?

$heat=\frac{0.75 moles of Mgx1204 kJ}{2 moles of Mg}$
