What elements in the periodic table might combine with oxygen to form magnesium oxide?

1 answer:

3 0

<span> I would guess that calcium (Ca), of all the group 2 elements, is most like magnesium (Mg), because it has the most similar size (atomic and ionic radii) to Mg. </span>

How many moles of Boron (B) are in 5.03 x 1024 B atoms?

goldfiish [28.3K]

Hey there!:

Number of moles = ( number of atoms / 6.023*10²³ atoms )

given number of atoms = 5.03*10²⁴

Therefore:

Number of moles B = 5.03*10²⁴ / 6.023*10²³

Number of moles B = 8.35 moles

Hope that helps!

A solution contains an unknown amount of dissolved magnesium. Addition of

Scrat [10]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Mg²⁺(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → MgCO₃(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq)

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole
MgCO₃: 1 mole
Na⁺: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

Mg²⁺: 24.3 g/mole
Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
MgCO₃: 84.3 g/mole
Na⁺: 23 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

Mg²⁺: 1 mole ×24.3 g/mole= 24.3 grams
Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×106 g/mole= 106 grams
MgCO₃: 1 mole ×84.3 g/mole=84.3 grams
Na⁺: 2 moles ×23 g/mole= 46 grams

<h3>Mass of magnesium dissolved</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ react with 24.3 grams of magnesium, 0.0877 moles of Na₂CO₃ react with how much mass of magnesium?

$mass of magnesium=\frac{0.0877 moles of Na_{2}C O_{3}x24.3 grams of magnesium }{1 mole of Na_{2}C O_{3}}$

<u><em>mass of magnesium= 2.13 grams</em></u>

Finally, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

When three pairs of electrons are shared in a molecule, what shape will the molecule be?

djyliett [7]

The correct answer is B. The shape of a molecule where three pairs of electrons are shared is a trigonal planar. This is characterized by one central atom and three atoms forming an equilateral triangle which is bonded to the central atom.

Choose the answer that best completes the following statement: When an aluminum atom reacts so as to attain a noble gas electron

boyakko [2]

The options

Select one:

a. a 3- ion forms.

b. the noble gas configuration of argon is achieved.

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

d. the atom gains five electrons.

Answer:

c. the result is a configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6.

Explanation:

Aluminium atom has atomic number of 13 , hence the number of electron is 13 for a neutral atom of aluminium. When aluminium atom reacts with other elements it usually gives out three electron to attain the octet configuration.

The cation representation of aluminium is Al3+ because it has loss three electron to attain the octet rule. Aluminium will be left with 10 electrons after losing 3 of it electrons. The electronic configuration will be represented as follows after losing three electrons;

1S² 2S² 2P∧6 .

At this stage the octet rule has been achieved as it will be represented as

2 8. The first energy shell now contains two electron and the second energy shell contains 8 electrons.

The configuration of Neon has been formed in the process.

What is the number of the group that has the most reactive nonmetals (give number and letter- Ex 1A, 2A, etc.)?

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Group 7A

Explanation:

The group 7A elements consists of the most reactive non-metals on the periodic table.

This group is known as the group of halogens. They consist of element fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

The elements in this group have the highest electronegativity values.
They have 7 valence electrons and requires just one electron to complete their octets.
This way, they are highly reactive in their search for that single electron.
