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

Chemistry

lidiya [134]2 years ago

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.

When dT = Kf * molality * i
                = Kf*m*i
and when molality = (no of moles of solute) / Kg of solvent
                               = 2.5g /250g x 1 mol /85 g x1000g/kg
                               =0.1176 molal
and Kf for water = - 1.86 and dT = -0.255
by substitution 
0.255 = 1.86* 0.1176 * i
∴ i = 1.166
when the degree of dissociation formula is: when n=2 and  i = 1.166
a= i-1/n-1 = (1.166-1)/(2-1) = 0.359 by substitution by a and c(molality) in K formula
∴K = Ca^2/(1-a)
     = (0.1176 * 0.359)^2 / (1-0.359)
     = 2.8x10^-3

How many ions are there in 0.187 mol of Na+ ions
kondaur [170]
Best Answer
1 mole of a substance contains 6.022x10^23 "units" of that substance.

So 0.187 mol of Na+ is 1.13x10^23 ions (6.022x10^23 x 0.187).

Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting
ad-work [718]

Answer:

            Atoms are composed of a central nucleus which is surrounded by orbiting <u>Electrons</u>.

Explanation:

                   The word Atom is derived from atomos meaning indivisible particle. An atom is a very small sized particle and its size is approximately 100 picometers.

                    Atoms are composed of a Nucleus which contains protons and neutrons and the nucleus is surrounded by orbiting electrons. Also, the nucleus is positively charged due to +ve protons and the electrons revolving around nucleus are -vely charged making overall atom neutral in nature.

                   Atoms react with another atoms due to the presence of valence electrons present in the valence shell of an atom. The valence electrons would make a covalent bond by mutually sharing the electrons or it may form an ionic bond by gaining and loosing valence electron.

lorasvet [3.4K]

In a food chain we arrange the energy in the form of a pyramid.

The producers are on the base of pyramid and then consumers are towards peak.

in the given food chain grass is being eaten by grasshopper which are food of birds.

Grasshoppers are also eaten up by Hawks. so both brids and hawks are feeding upon grasshoppers thus the amount of energy transferred from the grass to the grasshopper is the same as the amount of energy transferred from the grasshopper to the bird.

A balloon is filled with 35.0 L of helium in the morning when the temperature is 35.00 oC.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: V = 33.9 L

Explanation: We will use Charles Law to solve for the new volume.

Charles Law is expressed in the following formula. Temperatures must be converted in Kelvin.

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2 then derive for V2

V2 = V1 T2 / T1

= 35 L ( 308 K ) / 318 K

= 33.9 L
