When magnesium loses it's valence electrons, it has the atomic structure of what element?

1 answer:

4 0

As far as I can tell the best answer for this would be (A) Neon. However, I would argue that this is at the very least a misleading question. Atoms are less identified by their electrons than their protons (which is represented always by its atomic number). Although atoms can gain or lose electrons, the protons would never change (and remain the same element). Personally, I would have written the question as, "When Magnesium loses its valence electrons, its new number of electrons would most closely resemble _____"

Plants undergo photosynthesis to produce glucose according to the reaction below. What mass of water is required to produce 5.0g

solniwko [45]

Answer:

option a) 3 g

Explanation:

mass of Glucose = 5 g

Mass of H₂O = ?

Reaction Given:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Solution:

First we have to find mass of glucose from balanced reaction.

So,

Look at the reaction

6CO₂ + 6H₂O -------> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

6 mol 1 mol

As 6 mole of water (H₂O) give 1 mole of Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆ )

Convert moles to mass

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16)

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 72 + 12 + 96

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆= 180 g/mol

molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

Now

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ---------> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

6 mol (18 g/mol) 1 mol (180 g/mol)

108 g 180 g

108 g of water (H₂O) produce 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

if 108 g of water (H₂O) produce 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) so how many grams of water (H₂O) will be required to produce 5 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆).

Apply Unity Formula

108 g of water (H₂O) ≅ 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

X g of water (H₂O) ≅ 5 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

Do cross multiply

mass of water (H₂O) = 108 g x 5 g / 180 g

mass of water (H₂O) = 3 g

So 3 g of water is required to produce 5 g of glucose.

Does the reaction of hydrogen produce any products that negatively affect the environment?

klasskru [66]

The answer is NO. During combustion of hydrogen, water is produced as an end product. The chemical formulae for combustion of hydrogen are:

2H2 + O2 -->2 H2O

another advantage is that the whole of the fuel load is combusted hence little wastage. This has made the fuel advantageous in its use as rocket fuel since there is no baggage fuel.

The area that deals with the mechanism, the rate, and the energy transfer that occurs when matter undergoes a change

mafiozo [28]

Physical chemistry is the area that deals with the mechanisms, the rate, and the energy transfer that occurs when matter undergoes a change. So the correct option for the given question is option “B”. Whenever there is a change in the state of matter, the physical properties definitely undergo a change. A solid matter will always have a definite shape and volume, while a liquid has a definite volume but no shape. Gases do not have either definite volume or shape. Chemical properties might not be affected, but physical properties are definitely impacted when a matter undergoes change.

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal numbers of

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

B. electrons and protons.

Explanation:

In an electrically neutral atom of any element, there are equal number of protons and electrons in the atom.

Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.

Electrons are the negatively charged particles within the atom.

When the number of protons and electrons are the same or equal, the atom is neutral.

But when there is an imbalance, an ion results.
