Density = Mass ÷ Volume. You get 2.466
Combustion equation of n-hexane:
2C₆H₁₄ + 19O₂ → 12CO₂ + 14H₂O
a)
Assuming we have 100 moles of air,
Oxygen = 20.9 moles
n-hexane required = 20.9/19 x 2
= 2.2 moles
LFL = Half of stoichometric amount = 2.2 / 2 = 1.1
LFL n-hexane = 1.1%
b)
1.1 volume percent required for LFL
1.1% x 1
= 0.0011 m³ of n-hexane required
Answer:
Option B. Cation that is smaller than the original atom.
Explanation:
Magnesium is a divalent element. This implies that magnesium can give up 2 electrons to become an ion (cation) as shown below:
Mg —> Mg²⁺ + 2e¯
Next, we shall write the electronic configuration of magnesium atom (Mg) and magnesium ion (Mg²⁺). This can be written as follow:
Mg (12) = 2, 8, 2
Mg²⁺ (10) = 2, 8
From the above illustration, we can see that the magnesium atom (Mg) has 3 shells while the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) has 2 shells.
This simply means that the magnesium ion (Mg²⁺) i.e cation is smaller that the original magnesium atom (Mg).
