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.

A bottle of wine contains 9.81 grams of C2H5OH, dissolved in 87.5 grams of water. The final volume of the solution is 100.0 mL.
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

[EtOH] = 2.2M and Wt% EtOH = 10.1% (w/w)

Explanation:

1. Molarity = moles solute / Volume solution in Liters

=> moles solute = mass solute / formula weight of solute = 9.8g/46g·mol⁻¹ = 0.213mol EtOH

=> volume of solution (assuming density of final solution is 1.0g/ml) ...

volume solution =  9.81gEtOH + 87.5gH₂O = 97.31g solution x 1g/ml = 97.31ml = 0.09731 Liter solution

Concentration (Molarity) = moles/Liters = 0.213mol/0.09731L = 2.2M in EtOH

2. Weight Percent EtOH in solution (assuming density of final solution is 1.0g/ml)

From part 1 => [EtOH] = 2.2M in EtOH = 2.2moles EtOH/1.0L soln

= {(2.2mol)(46g/mol)]/1000g soln] x 100% = 10.1% (w/w) in EtOH.

what is the diffrence between displacement ans double displacement reactions write equations for these reactions
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Single Displacement reaction  

In a displacement reaction, a more reactive element replaces a less reactive element from a compound.

Change in colour takes place with no precipitate forms.

Metals react with the salt solution of another metal.

Examples:

2KI + Cl2 → 2KCl + I2

CuSO4 + Zn → ZnSO4 + Cu

Double displacement reaction

In a double displacement reaction, two atoms or a group of atoms switch places to form new compounds.

Precipitate is formed.

Salt solutions of two different metals react with each other.

Examples:  

Na2SO4 + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2NaCl

2KBr + BaCl2 → 2KCl + BaBr2

If the a of a monoprotic weak acid is 2. 6×10−6, what is the ph of a 0. 33 m solution of this acid?
yawa3891 [41]

The pH of the monoprotic weak acid is 2.79.

<h3>What are weak acids?</h3>

The weak acids are the acids that do not fully dissociate into ions in the solution. Strong acids fully dissociate into ions.

The chemical reaction is HA(aq) ⇄ A⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

c (monoprotic acid) = 0.33 M.

Ka = 1.2·10⁻⁶

[A⁻] = [H⁺] = x

[HA] = 0.33 M - x

Ka = [A⁻]·[H⁺] / [HA]

2. 6 × 10⁻⁶ = x² / (0.33 M - x)

Solve quadratic equation: [H⁺] = 0.000524 M.

pH = -log[H⁺]

pH = -log(0.000524 M)

pH = 2.79

Thus,  the pH of the monoprotic weak acid is 2.79
