a) Copper metal b) Magnesium chloride
Expected Response
(a) Copper metal M
(b) Magnesium chloride K
An element P has a relative atomic mass of 88. When a current of 0.5 amperes was passed through the fused chloride of P for 32 minutes and 10 seconds, 0.44g of P were deposited at the cathode. Determine the charge on an ion of P. (1 faraday = 96500 Coulombs).
Expected Response
The melting point of phosphorous dichloride is – 910C. While that of magnesium chloride is 7150C.In terms of structure and bonding, explain the difference in their melting points.
Expected Response
Explain why burning magnesium continues to burn a gas was bubbled
The burning magnesium produces more heat energy that the burning splint. The heat energy from magnesium is enough to break the sulphur oxygen bond setting free oxygen. Magnesium uses freed oxygen to continue burning.
Explain why a burning magnesium ribbon continues to burn when placed in a gas jar containing carbon (iv) oxide gas but a burning splint is extinguished.
