Answer:

Explanation:

Radiation can either kill cells or damage the DNA within them, which damages their ability to reproduce and can eventually lead to cancer. However, it may be useful because it minimi damage to DNA

Following the instructions in your lab manual, you have titrated a 25.00 mL sample of 0.0100 M KIO3 with a solution of Na2S2O3 o

vivado [14]

Answer:

For 1: The amount of potassium iodate that were titrated is $2.5\times 10^{-4}$ moles

For 2: The amount of sodium thiosulfate required is $1.25\times 10^{-4}$ moles

Explanation:

For 1:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of $KIO_3$ solution = 0.0100 M

Volume of solution = 25 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0100M=\frac{\text{Moles of }KIO_3\times 1000}{25}\\\\\text{Moles of }KIO_3=\frac{0.0100\times 25}{1000}=0.00025mol$

Hence, the amount of potassium iodate that were titrated is $2.5\times 10^{-4}$ moles

For 2:

The chemical equation for the reaction of potassium iodate and sodium thiosulfate follows:

$2KIO_3+Na_2S_2O_3\rightarrow K_2S_2O_3+2NaIO_3$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of potassium iodate reacts with 1 mole of sodium thiosulfate

So, 0.00025 moles of potassium iodate will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.00025=0.000125mol$ of sodium thiosulfate

Hence, the amount of sodium thiosulfate required is $1.25\times 10^{-4}$ moles

Magnesium chloride is a salt formed with ionic bonds between one magnesium ion and two chloride ions. Magnesium has two electron

katrin [286]

Answer:

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.

Explanation:

Ionic compounds are compound formed from the transfer of electron(s). One atom of the element loses electron(s) while the other atom gains electron(s).

The compound Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound . The bond between an atom of magnesium and 2 atoms of chlorine is an ionic bonding.

The valency electron of magnesium is 2 electron , for the atom of magnesium to attain octet rule, it will easily lose it 2 electrons to the chlorine atoms.

The chlorine atom on the other hand has 7 valency electrons, to attain octet configuration it will most likely gain 1 electron to become stable.

The magnesium atom loses 2 electron to the 2 atoms of chlorine. The 7 valency electrons of each chlorine atom will now be 8 to attain stable configuration. The final compound is written as MgCl2.
