32) in the synthesis reaction of magnesium and chlorine, two chlorine atoms react with one magnesium atom to form the ionic compound, mgcl2. what is the best explanation for this reaction?

Explanations:- Chlorine is a diatomic element and so it's written as ,  The balanced equation for the synthesis reaction of magnesium and chlorine to form magnesium chloride is written as:

One chlorine molecule has two Cl atoms, So, at atomic level, we could say that one magnesium atom reacts with two atoms of chlorine or we could say that one atom of magnesium react with one molecule of chlorine () .

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
