Here is the electron configuration for Magnesium. How many total electrons are in the 2nd energy level?

Chemistry
1 answer:
balandron [24]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

8 electrons

Explanation:

Magnesium is present on group 2.

It has 2 valence electrons.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

1st energy level contain 2 electrons.(1s²)

2nd energy  level contain 8 electrons. (2s² 2p⁶)

3rd energy level contain 2 electrons. (3s²)

3rs energy level of magnesium is called valence shell. It contain two valance electrons. Magnesium can easily donate its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.

It react with halogens and form salt. For example,

Mg + Cl₂   →   MgCl₂

A student conducting the iodine clock experiment accidentally makes an s2o32- stock solution that is too concentrated. how will
cupoosta [38]
Adding (S2O3)2- would affect the reaction mechanism that involves this ion. From the reaction mechanism given above, the equilibrium of step 2 would be affected. Adding the stock solution of (S2O3)2- would shift the equilibrium to the right thus making more products of the said mechanism. Also, the reaction rate of this step would occur faster than the original rate. This is based on Le Chatelier's Prinicple which states that a corresponding change would happen to the equilibrium of a reaction when pressure, concentration of the substances or temperature is changed. So, that after the addition, a color change would appear immediately because I3- would be removed slowly from solution, and would therefore be able to react with starch.

A blacksmith heated an iron bar to 1445 °C. The blacksmith then tempered the metal by dropping it into 42,800 mL of
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

6626 g

Explanation:

Given that:

Density of water = 1.00 g/ml, volume of water = 42800 ml.

Since density = mass/ volume

mass of water = volume of water * density of water = 42800 ml * 1 g/ml = 42800 g

Initial temperature of water = 22°C and final temperature of water = 45°C.

specific heat capacity for water = 4.184 J/g°C

ΔT water = 45 - 22 = 23°C

For iron:

mass = m,  

specific heat capacity for iron  = 0.444 J/g°C

Initial temperature of iron = 1445°C and final temperature of water = 45°C.

ΔT iron = 45 - 1445 = -1400°C

Quantity of heat (Q) to raised the temperature of a body is given as:

Q = mCΔT

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of water is equal to the temperature loss by the iron.

Q water (gain) + Q iron (loss) = 0

Q water = - Q iron

42800 g ×  4.184 J/g°C × 23°C = -m × 0.444 J/g°C × -1400°C

m = 4118729.6/621.6

m = 6626 g

If an alloy is formed that is 50 mol% silver and 50 mol% gold, what is the karat number of the alloy?
Allisa [31]
Answer : 12 karat

Explanation : When pure gold is considered to be 24 karat then if its 50 mol% silver and 50 mol% silver then using karat scale calculation;

Karat/24 X 100 = 50 mol% (for gold) in alloy

So, Karat = (50 X 24) / 100 = 12 karat.

Hence the alloy will be of 12 karat.
