Magnesium combined with chlorine.

How?

  • Look at the question .Compound has -1 charge in it .Hence it contains Halogen.
  • Looking at the options Option B and C contain Iodine and chlorine i.e halogens .

Now come to metals side.

  • Potassium has valency 1(Look the Electronic configuration below)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1

Hence it will contain +1 charge which is omitted directly .

Now come to option C.

  • Magnesium has charge +2(Look at EC below

\\ \sf\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

Hence the compound formed is given by

\\ \sf\longmapsto MgCl_2

Hence option C is correct.

Water's heat of fusion is 80. cal/g , its specific heat is 1.0calg⋅∘C, and its heat of vaporization is 540 cal/g . A canister is
Pani-rosa [81]
<span>294400 cal The heating of the water will have 3 phases 1. Melting of the ice, the temperature will remain constant at 0 degrees C 2. Heating of water to boiling, the temperature will rise 3. Boiling of water, temperature will remain constant at 100 degrees C So, let's see how many cal are needed for each phase. We start with 320 g of ice and 100 g of liquid, both at 0 degrees C. We can ignore the liquid and focus on the ice only. To convert from the solid to the liquid, we need to add the heat of fusion for each gram. So multiply the amount of ice we have by the heat of fusion. 80 cal/g * 320 g = 25600 cal Now we have 320 g of ice that's been melted into water and the 100 g of water we started with, resulting in 320 + 100 = 420 g of water at 0 degrees C. We need to heat that water to 100 degrees C 420 * 100 = 42000 cal Finally, we have 420 g of water at the boiling point. We now need to pump in an additional 540 cal/g to boil it all away. 420 g * 540 cal/g = 226800 cal So the total number of cal used is 25600 cal + 42000 cal + 226800 cal = 294400 cal</span>
