Probably CH(subscript)4... :) It's Methane
Answer:
We wouldn't have Coronavirus
Explanation:
Answer: definite proportions.
Explanation:
1) The definite proportions law states that compounds will always have the same kind of atoms (elements) in the same mass proportion (ratios).
2) For example, a molecule of water will alwys have the same mass ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms. That is what permits to obtain the chemical formula of the water molecule as H₂O.
The mass of the two hydrogen atoms will be in a fixed ratio respect to the mass of the oxygen atoms.
Then, if you have one reactant in less proportion than the other, respect to the ratio stated by the chemical formula of water, the former will react completely (it is the limiting reactant) with the corresponding (proportional) mass of the later. Then there will be an excess of the later reactant which will not react (will remain unchanged).
The reactants can only react in the proportion defined by the chemical formulas of the final products.
Answer:
Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ OXIDATION
Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s) REDUCTION
Explanation:
The redox reaction is: MgCl₂(aq) + Fe(s) → FeCl₂(aq) + Mg(s)
We need to know that elements in ground state have 0 as the oxidation state.
Iron in the reactants, and Mg in the products
In the magnessium chloride, the Mg acts with+2, so the oxidation state has decreased → REDUCTION
In the iron(II) chloride, the Fe acts with +2, so the oxidation statehas increased → OXIDATION
The half reactions are:
Fe(s) → Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ OXIDATION
Mg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Mg(s) REDUCTION
