Answer:
Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)
Explanation:
<em>Give the complete ionic equation for the reaction (if any) that occurs when aqueous solutions of MgSO₃ and HI are mixed.</em>
When MgSO₃ reacts with HI they experience a double displacement reaction, in which the cations and anions of each compound are exchanged, forming H₂SO₃ and MgI₂. At the same time, H₂SO₃ tends to decompose to H₂O and SO₂. The complete molecular equation is:
MgSO₃(aq) + 2 HI(aq) ⇄ MgI₂(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)
In the complete ionic equation, species with ionic bonds dissociate into ions.
Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq) + 2 H⁺(aq) + 2 I⁻(aq) ⇄ Mg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) + SO₂(g)
Answer:
A
Explanation:
because CO2 is carbon dioxide and CO is carbon monoxide. mono meaning one which in this case is monoxide.
Answer:
Chemical reactivity increases down a group and decreases from left to right of a period.
Explanation:
The higher the ionization energy is, the lower the reactivity is. Since the ionization energy is highest in the top right corner of the periodic table, we can assume that the most reactive elements are in the opposite bottom left corner. This is because the electrons that react are farther away from the nucleus thus experience less attraction to the nucleus (called nuclear shielding). Therefore their electrons are more easily removed than elements that don't ecperience nuclear shielding.
