Answer:

Q= Magnesium R= Chlorine

Explanation:

The element Q should be magnesium and R is chlorine.

An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by the combination of a metal and non-metal. Such bonds forms when there is a transfer of electrons from the metals to the non-metals. This leaves a net positive charge on the metal and a negative charge on the non-metal.

The electrostatic attraction leads to the formation of the bond.

 To solve this problem, the hypothetical compound is QR₂

       Mg                        Cl

     2 8 2                    2 8 7

So, Mg transfers 2 electrons to two atoms of chlorine.

 This leads to the formation of the compound MgCl₂

Find ∆G for a cell whose potential is +0.24 V with 4 moles of electrons exchanged.
Setler [38]
We need to use the following formula
ΔG= -nF E_{cell}

E_{cell}= 0.24V
n= 4 moles
F= constant= 96500C/mol

let's plug in the values.

ΔG= -(4)(96500)(0.24)= -92640 J or -92.6 kJ

Indicate the number of significant figures in the following measured numbers:
inysia [295]

Answer: a = 2 ; f = 5 ; b = 2 ; g = 2 ; c = 2 ; h = 2 ; d = 4 ; i = 5 ; e = 3 ; j = 7

Explanation: Some rules to follow while calculating sig figs is

1. If a number like 4500 is present, only two sig figs are counted, but none of the zeros are, but if 4500. has a decimal point present, then you should count all the numbers available.

2. If a number like .0005 is present, only count 5 as a sig fig, however if the number is .00050, count the 0 after the 5 in this example (this would then have two sig figs.
