Burning a magnesium ribbon in the air is an addition reaction while heating potassium manganate 7 is a decomposition reaction.

<h3>Addition and decomposition reactions</h3>

Magnesium burns in air to produce magnesium oxide as follows:

2Mg + O_2 --- > 2MgO

Potassium manganate 7 burns to produce multiple products as follows:

2 KMnO_4 --- > K_2MnO_4 + MnO_2(s) + O_2

Thus, the MgO will be heavier than Mg. On the other hand, MnO_2 will be less heavy than KMnO_4.

Which of the following scientists was the first to determine the
Maru [420]

Answer:

Robert Boyle

Explanation:

Robert Boyle was an Irish chemist and is famously referred to as the first modern chemist. He was born on the 25th of January, 1627 in Lismore, Ireland and died on the 31st, December 1691, London, United Kingdom.

Robert Boyle was the first to determine the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas.

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

PV = K

P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}

Where;

V1 and V2 represents the initial and final volumes respectively.

T1 and T2 represents the initial and final temperatures respectively.
