What occurs when a magnesium atom becomes a magnesium ion?

1 answer:

6 0

The atom then has more protons than electrons and so it will be positively charged, a positive ion. Example: A magnesium atom may lose two electrons and become a Mg2+ ion. Non-metal atoms may gain electrons and become negatively charged. ... (It loses two electrons.)

Consider the following equilibrium:

Ainat [17]

Answer: The equation which is wrong is $K_p=K_c(RT)^{-5}$

Explanation:

For the given reaction:

$4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)$

The expression for $K_c\text{ and }K_p$ is given by:

$K_c=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}$

$K_p=\frac{1}{[O_2]^3}$

The concentration of solids are taken to be 1, only concentration of gases and liquid states are taken. The pressure of only gases are taken.

Relationship between $K_p\text{ and }K_c$ is given by the expression:

$K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n_g}$

where,

$\Delta n_g$ = number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants

R = gas constant

T= temperature

For the above reaction,

$\Delta n_g$ = number of moles of gaseous products - number of moles of gaseous reactants = 0 - 3 = -3

Hence, the expression for $K_p$ is:

$K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{-3}$

Therefore, the equation which is wrong is $K_p=K_c(RT)^{-5}$

Write the chemical formula for sodium hypobromite.

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

NaOBr (or) Na⁺ ⁻OBr

Explanation:

The Oxo-Acids of Bromine are as follow,

Hypobromous Acid = HOBr

Bromous Acid = HOBrO

Bromic Acid = HBrO₃

Perbromic Acid = HBrO₄

When these acids are converted to their conjugate bases their names are as follow,

Hypobromite = ⁻OBr

Bromite = ⁻OBrO

Bromate = ⁻OBrO₂

Perbromate = ⁻OBrO₃

According to rules, the positive part of ionic compound is named first and the negative part is named second. So, Sodium Hypobromite has a chemical formula of Na⁺ ⁻OBr or NaOBr.
