How many paired and unpaired electrons are in magnesium?

Chemistry
1 answer:
pychu [463]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Paired = 12

Unpaired = 0

Explanation:

Magnesium is alkaline earth metal.

It is present in second group.

Its atomic number is 12 and atomic mass 24 amu.

Electronic configuration:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

It can seen from electronic configuration that all electrons are paired because s subshell have one orbital and it can accomodate two electrons. Each s subshells in magnesium have two electrons so these are filled and have paired electrons. While p subshell have three orbitals and can accomodate six electrons two by each orbital with opposite spin thus 2p is also filled and have paired electrons.

In the octapeptide ITPGAALY which amino acid is the amino-terminal residue? Tyrosine Leucine Proline Isoleucine
oee [108]

Answer:

The correct option is: Isoleucine

Explanation:

Peptides are the biological molecules containing amino acids which are linked together by peptide bonds. A polypeptide is a peptide chain in which more than 20 amino acids are linked together by peptide bond.

All polypeptide chains have a N-terminal and a C-terminal.

The N-terminal of a polypeptide is also known as the amino terminal. The N-terminal has a free amine group, which is generally on the left hand side of the polypeptide chain.

Therefore, the N-terminal or the amino terminal of the given polypeptide is Isoleucine (I).

How many grams of BaCl2 are formed when 35.00 mL of 0.00237 M Ba(OH)2 reacts with excess Cl2 gas? 2 Ba(OH)2(aq) + 2 Cl2(g) → Ba(
Vesna [10]

Answer:

0.0071g

Explanation:

From the question, we know that the molarity of the BaCl2 is 0.00237M. This means there are 0.00237 moles in 1dm^3 or 1000cm^3 of solution.

We also know that 35ml of the BaCl2 reacted. Here, we need to calculate the number of moles in 35.7ml of BaCl2.

This is calculated as follows;

0.00237moles are in 1000cm^3

Thus x moles will be present in 35ml ( we should note that cm^3 is same as ml)

X = (0.00237 × 35) ÷ 1000 = 0.00008295 moles.

From the reaction equation, we can see that 2 moles of BaCl2 yielded 1 mole of Ba(OH)2.

This means 0.00008295mole of BaCl2 will yield 0.00008295 ÷ 2 = 0.000041475 moles of Ba(OH)2.

To calculate the mass of Ba(OH)2 formed, we simple multiply the number of moles yielded by the molar mass of Ba(OH)2.

Molar mass of Ba(OH)2 = 137 + 2(17)

= 171g/mol

Mass = 171 × 0.000041475 = 0.007092225g

What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 8.60 g of a solid with a
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

1.43 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of the solid. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of solid = 8.60 g

Molar mass of solid = 21.50 g/mol

Mole of solid =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of solid = 8.60 / 21.50

Mole of solid = 0.4 mole

Next, we shall convert 280 mL to litre (L). This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

280 mL = 280 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL

280 mL = 0.28 L

Thus, 280 mL is equivalent to 0.28 L.

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the solution. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mole of solid = 0.4 mole

Volume = 0.28 L

Molarity =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity = 0.4 / 0.28

Molarity = 1.43 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution is 1.43 M.
