The correct answers are:

1. B. Mg loses two electrons.

When Mg and Br combine, 2 atoms of Br attaches itself to Mg. The chemical reaction is:

Mg + Br ---> MgBr2

Since Br is more electronegative than Mg, then Mg loses an electron per Br therefore losing 2 electrons.

2. D. An atom that gains electrons must be attracted to an atom that loses electrons.

An ionic bond is formed when one molecule is more electronegative than the other molecule which results in gaining and losing of electrons. The more electronegative molecule gains electron while the less electronegative loses electron.

Liters of a 2.40 M

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1.42 L

Explanation:

Step 1:

The following data were obtained from the question :

Molarity of KBr = 2.40 M

Mole of KBr = 3.40 moles

Volume of solution =?

Step 2:

Determination of the volume of the solution.

Molarity of solution is simply the mole of the solute per unit volume the of solution. It is given as :

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 3.4/2.4

Volume = 1.42 L

Therefore, the volume of the solution is 1.42 L

Two substances, A and Z, are to be identified. Substance A can not be broken down by a chemical change. Substance Z can be broke

I am Lyosha [343]

The answer is 3). This is because elements are the simplest form of a substance, and cannot be broken down any further. Compounds on the other hand are much more complex than elements and can be broken down INTO elements. For example, Na, sodium, is an element and cannot be broken down further. H2O, water, is a compound and can be broken down into Hydrogen and Oxygen.

Consider the following equilibrium: CO2(g) + C(graphite) 2CO(g); ΔH = 172.5 kJ The equilibrium constant for this reaction will

bezimeni [28]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As the given reaction is as follows.

$CO_{2}(g) + C(graphite) \rightarrow 2CO(g)$

Equilibrium constant for this reaction will be as follows.

$K_{c} = \frac{[CO_{2}]}{[CO]^{2}}$

According to Le Chatelier's principle, when we increase the temperature then the equilibrium will shift towards the right hand side.

As a result, concentration of carbon dioxide will decrease whereas concentration of carbon monoxide will increase.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given reaction equilibrium constant for this reaction will decrease with increasing temperature.
