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 have six valence electrons
irina1246 [14]

Any element in group 18 has eight valence electrons (except for helium, which has a total of just two electrons). Examples include neon (Ne), argon (Ar), and krypton (Kr). Oxygen, like all the other elements in group 16, has six valence electrons.

Assume that the maximum number of ATPs is produced (38). At pH 7, and in the presence of excess Mg2 , how much of the energy in
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

In one mole of glucose 38 ATP energy is stored this accounts for only 40 per-cent of the total energy in glucose.

Explanation:

In standard conditions, during the cellular respiration 1 mole of Glucose in the presence of oxygen produces 36 or 38 ATPs. This accounts for only 40% of the total energy as the remaining 60 per-cent of the energy is dissipated as heat.

I mole of glucose enters the glycolysis step of aerobic cellular respiration which after oxidative phosphorylation and Electron transport chain would give 38 ATP molecules.

It can be said that only 38.3% of energy is put in ATP molecules.

Answer these please ASAP need help no idea how to do these
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol = mass / 64 g/mol

Mass = 128 g

Mg:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

0.5 mol = mass / 24 g/mol

Mass =  g

Cl₂:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 35.5 g / 24 g/mol

Number of moles = 852 mol

H₂:

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass

8 mol  = Mass / 2 g/mol

Mass =  16 g

P₄:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol  =  mass / 124 g/mol

Mass = 248 g

O₃:

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 1.6 g /48  g/mol

Number of moles = 0.033 mol

H₂O

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 54 g / 18 g/mol

Number of moles = 3 mol

CO₂

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

2 mol  =  mass / 124 g/mol

Mass = 248 g

NH₃

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 8.5 g / 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.5 mol

CaCO₃

Number of moles = Mass / molar masa

Number of moles  = 100 g / 100 g/mol

Number of moles = 1 mol

a)

Given data:

Mass of iron(III)oxide needed = ?

Mass of iron produced = 100 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

F₂O₃ + 3CO    →    2Fe  + 3CO₂

Number of moles of iron:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 100 g/ 56 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.78 mol

Now we compare the moles of iron with iron oxide.

                        Fe          :           F₂O₃                

                           2          :             1

                          1.78       :        1/2×1.78 = 0.89 mol

Mass of  F₂O₃:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.89 mol × 159.69 g/mol

Mass = 142.124 g

100 g of iron is 1.78 moles of Fe, so 0.89 moles of F₂O₃ are needed, or 142.124 g of iron(III) oxide.

b)

Given data:

Number of moles of Al = 0.05 mol

Mass of iodine = 26 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3I₂   →  2AlI₃

Number of moles of iodine = 26 g/ 254 g/mol

Number of moles of iodine = 0.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Al and I₂ with AlI₃.

                          Al            :         AlI₃    

                          2             :           2

                         0.05         :        0.05

                           I₂            :         AlI₃

                           3            :          2

                         0.1           :           2/3×0.1 = 0.067

Number of moles of AlI₃ produced by Al are less so it will limiting reactant.

Mass of AlI₃:                            

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.05 mol × 408 g/mol

Mass = 20.4 g

26 g of iodine is 0.1 moles. From the equation, this will react with 2 moles of Al. So the limiting reactant is Al.

c)

Given data:

Mass of lead = 6.21 g

Mass of lead oxide = 6.85 g

Equation of reaction = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Pb + O₂   → 2PbO

Number of moles of lead = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 6.21 g/ 207 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Number of moles of lead oxide = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 6.85 g/ 223 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.031 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with lead and lead oxide.

               Pb         :        O₂

                2          :         1

               0.03     :      1/2×0.03 = 0.015 mol

Mass of oxygen:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.015 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass =  0.48 g

The mass of oxygen that took part in equation was 0.48 g. which is 0.015 moles of oxygen. The number of moles of Pb in 6.21 g of lead is 0.03 moles. So the balance equation is

2Pb + O₂   → 2PbO
