Electron - negligible mass, negative charge, orbits the nucleus
Proton - 1 AMU, positive charge, in the nucleus
Neutron, 1 AMU, no charge, in the nucleus
First identify which is being oxidized and reduced. In this case, the Mg is being oxidized and the Hg is being reduced.
Mg --> Mg+2
<span>Hg+2 --> Hg+1

Then you have to balance each half reaction first with electrons before adding them together in one equation
![Mg](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Mg%20)
⇒
![Mg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20Mg%5E%7B%2B2%7D%20%20%2B%20%202e%5E%7B-1%7D%20)
and
![2Hg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2Hg%5E%7B%2B2%7D%20%2B%202e%5E%7B-1%7D%20)
⇒
and then combine them together to form
![Mg + 2 Hg^{+2} + 2e](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Mg%20%2B%202%20Hg%5E%7B%2B2%7D%20%2B%202e%20)
⇒
![Mg^{+2} + 2e ^{-} + 2 Hg^{+1} + 2 e^{-}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20Mg%5E%7B%2B2%7D%20%2B%202e%20%5E%7B-%7D%20%2B%202%20Hg%5E%7B%2B1%7D%20%2B%202%20e%5E%7B-%7D%20%20%20%20)
It isn't necessary to keep the electrons but its essential to know how many there are in order to know how many are in the equation in order to calculate the reaction energy. Note: A<span>dd H+ and H2O to balance the H's and O's in acidic solution if needed.</span>
False. The number of neutrons can be more or less than the number of protons.

Answer:
![\boxed {\tt mass=29.25 \ grams}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cboxed%20%7B%5Ctt%20mass%3D29.25%20%5C%20grams%7D)
Explanation:
The density formula is mass over volume.
![d=\frac{m}{v}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%3D%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bv%7D)
Rearrange the formula for the mass, m. Multiply both sides of the formula by v.
![d*v=\frac{m}{v}*v](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%2Av%3D%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bv%7D%2Av)
![d*v=m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%2Av%3Dm)
Mass can be found by multiplying the density and volume. The density is 0.65 grams per milliliter and the volume is 45.0 cubic centimeters.
- A cubic centimeter is equal to a milliliter.
- Therefore, 45 cubic centimeters also equals 45 milliliters.
![d= 0.65 \ g/mL\\v= 45 \ mL](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%3D%200.65%20%5C%20g%2FmL%5C%5Cv%3D%2045%20%5C%20mL)
Substitute the values into the formula.
![0.65 \ g/mL * 45 \ mL=m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.65%20%5C%20g%2FmL%20%2A%2045%20%5C%20mL%3Dm)
Multiply. Note the milliliters, or mL will cancel out.
![0.65 \ g * 45=m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.65%20%5C%20g%20%2A%2045%3Dm)
![29.25 \ g=m](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=29.25%20%5C%20g%3Dm)
The mass of the wood is 29.25 grams.
