matter is anything that occupies space and mass
Answer:
The answer is 465.6 mg of MgI₂ to be added.
Explanation:
We find the mole of ion I⁻ in the final solution
C = n/V -> n = C x V = 0.2577 (L) x 0.1 (mol/L) = 0.02577 mol
But in the initial solution, there was 0.087 M KI, which can be converted into mole same as above calculation, equal to 0.02242 mol.
So we need to add an addition amount of 0.02577 - 0.02242 = 0.00335 mol of I⁻. But each molecule of MgI₂ yields two ions of I⁻, so we need to divide 0.00335 by 2 to find the mole of MgI₂, which then is 0.001675 mol.
Hence, the weight of MgI₂ must be added is
Weight of MgI₂ = 0.001675 mol x 278 g/mol = 0.4656 g = 465.6 mg
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Based on the electron configuration of this ion, count the number of electrons in this ion in total:
.
Each electron has a charge of 
.
Atoms are neutral and have 
charge. However, when an atom gains one extra electron, it becomes an ion with a charge of . Likewise, when that ion gains another electron, the charge on this ion would become 
.
The ion in this question has a charge of . In other words, this ion is formed after its corresponding atom gains two extra electrons. This ion has 
electrons in total. Therefore, the atom would have initially contained 
electrons. The atomic number of this atom would be 
.
Refer to a modern copy of the periodic table. The element with an atomic number of is sulphur with atomic symbol 
. To denote the ion, place the charge written backwards ("
" for a charge of ) as the superscript of the atomic symbol:
.
1 --> Jaws
2 --> Four limbs
4 --> Mammary & fur
5 --> Walking on two legs
