How many electrons does an ion of magnesium have if it’s represented by the symbol shown below? 25Mg2+

Chemistry
1 answer:
Galina-37 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

10 electrons.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since a normal atom of magnesium has 12 protons and electrons when is not in the form of a cation, since it is a metal that tends to lose electrons when ionized, and therefore it becomes positively charged, we infer  that in form of:

Mg^{2+}

It only has 10 electrons.

Best regards!

How would you prepare 1.00 L of a 0.400M solution of copper(II)sulfate, CuSO4?
Ber [7]
We need to dilute 0.400 mol of copper (II) sulfate, how do we know, how many weigh of CuSO_4 we have to dilute??

It's simple.

\eta=\frac{m}{MM}

Using a periodic table we can find the molar mass of Cu,~~S~~and~~O

MM_{CuSO_4}=153.9~g/mol

Then

m=\eta*MM

now we can replace it

m=0.400*159.6

\boxed{\boxed{m=63.84~g}}

Then we have to dilute 63.84 grams of copper (II) sulfate in 1 L of water to obtain a solution with 0.400M

When a meteor falls on earth. a streak of light is seen. will this streak of light be seen if a meteor falls on the moon? Explai
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

No streak of light will appear.

Reason I given below.

Explanation:

No streak of light will be seen.

This is because as it falls to the moon, the gravitational pull plus the dense atmosphere which was necessary to produce friction when it fell to the earth are not present in this case and as such the whole meteor is not burnt like it did when it fell to the earth.
