Using relative e values determine which of the following reactions are electrically possible. mg(s) + br2(l) ——> mgbr2 this equation shows that mg is : oxidized or reduced? this equation shows that br2 is : oxidized or reduced? can this redox reaction take place?

You should have given us a table, but I think my table shouldn't be too different.

Let's put oxidation numbers first.

You would have to know that Mg(s) is a reducing agent and Br2(l) is an oxidizing agent. But it is pretty common knowledge that the halogens will tend to take the electrons and alkali and alkaline earth metals will tend to give up electrons.

Mg is oxidized because it gives up electrons; Br2(l) is reduced because it gains electrons. Since the reaction conforms to what we would expect to naturally (thermodynamically favored) occur, it can take place given that the activation energy is supplied.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
