The valency of both Oxygen and magnesium is 2 give reason ​

Chemistry
1 answer:
lidiya [134]3 years ago
7 0

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.

What happens when you put magnesium carbonate and diluted water
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Magnesium carbonate doesn't dissolve in water, only acid, where it will effervesce (bubble).

Explanation:

 An insoluble metal carbonate reacts with a dilute acid to form a soluble salt. Magnesium carbonate, a white solid, and dilute sulfuric acid react to produce magnesium sulfate. Colourless magnesium sulfate heptahydrate crystals are obtained from this solution.

Describe Chemical and physical changes of ice water placed in the refrigerator
Talja [164]
So in a chemical change, the product would loses its properties, would form new products and would not be easily reversed.


In a physical change, the products WILL NOT lose any of their properties, WILL NOT form any new products and WILL be easily reversed.

Talking about Water turning to ice I would say it’s all about physical change and not chemical change.
But I would suggest you to either make a research about it or ask your teacher :))

Be sure to answer all parts. Fluoride ion is poisonous in relatively low amounts: 0.2 g of F− per 70 kg of body weight can cause
Stells [14]

Answer:

200 liters of fluoridated drinking water would have to be consumed by as person to reach the toxic level.

Explanation:

Toxic level of fluoride ions = 0.2 g per 70 kg body weight

Concentration of fluoride ions in drinking water = 1 mg/ L = 0.001 g/L

1 mg = 0.001 g

Let the volume of drinking water consumed by person to reach the toxic level of fluoride concentration be V.

For 70 kg body weight 0.2 grams of fluoride ions will be toxic.

V\times 0.001 g/L=0.2 g

V=\frac{0.2 g}{0.001 g/L}=200 L

200 liters of fluoridated drinking water would have to be consumed by as person to reach the toxic level.
