Answer:
<em>the <u>valency of an element</u> is its combining capacity that is the number of electrons it requires to lose, gain or share in order to become neutral.</em>
[ An element can become neutral if it completes it's octet. That is if an element has 8 electrons in it'd outermost shell then it is considered neutral ]
- The valence of Magnesium is 2 because it requires to lose 2 electrons to become neutral.
- whereas, the valence of Oxygen is 2 because it needs to gain 2 electrons to become stable.
Hence they both have the same valence.
One may say that oxygen's valence is -2 while that of Magnesium is + 2. It's meaning is still the same but "-" sign indicates that oxygen will be gaining electrons in the process of becoming stable.
The anode is charged positively. Oxidation happens on the anode.
For example,
(anode +) Zn - 2e⁻ = Zn²⁺
Answer:
133.3atm
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial volume = 400ft³
Final volume = 3ft³
Initial pressure = 1atm
Unknown:
Final pressure = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant".
Mathematically;
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
P and V are pressure and volume
1 and 2 are initial and final states;
Insert parameters and solve;
1 x 400 = P₂ x 3
P₂ = 133.3atm
