Sodium has a lower ionization energy than magnesium describes why sodium reacts vigorously than magnesium chloride.

<h3>Why is sodium more reactive than magnesium?</h3>
  • Sodium is more reactive than magnesium because it has the ability to easily lose electron, hence have lower ionization energy.
  • Sodium belong to group one on the periodic table and they are called akali metal while magnesium belong to group two on the periodic table and they are called alkali Earth metal.

  • Sodium and magnesium belong to the in the 3rd period. Iin the outermost energy level sodium has one electron but magnesium has 2 electrons. Therefore, there is more attraction abetween the nucleus and electrons in magnesium than that of sodium.

Therefore, sodium is more reactive than magnesium chloride because of lower ionization energy.

If earth is 1.50 x 10^8km from the sun what is the distance in Mm?
Readme [11.4K]

The distance of the earth to the sun in Mm = 1.5 x 10⁵

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The distance of the earth to the sun : 1.50 x 10⁸ km

Required

The distance in Mm

Solution

In converting units we must pay attention to the conversion factor.

the conversion factor :

1 kilometer(km) = 10⁻³ megameter(Mm)

So the distance conversion :

1.5 x 10⁸ x 10⁻³ = 1.5 x 10⁵ Mm

densk [106]

Answer:

2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Ni^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Ni_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the molecular chemical reaction is:

(NH_4)_3PO_4(aq)+NiBr_2(aq)\rightarrow NH_4Br(aq)+Ni_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Thus, by considering the ionic species we have:

NH_4^+(aq)+2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Ni^{2+}(aq)+Br^-(aq)\rightarrow NH_4^+(aq)+Br^-(aq)+Ni_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Wherein the ammonium and bromide ions are spectator ions since nickel (II) phosphate is largely insoluble in water, therefore, the net ionic equation is:

2PO_4^{3-}(aq)+3Ni^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Ni_3(PO_4)_2(s)

Best regards.
