Answer:
nickel is the correct answer
Answer: On heating, Magnesium forms its oxide; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes
Explanation:
Magnesium Mg, on heating forms Magnesium oxide
2Mg(s) + O2(g) --> 2MgO
Potassium permanganate KMnO4, on heating decomposes to potassium manganate K2MnO4, manganese dioxide MnO2, and Oxygen gas O2.
2KMnO4 --> K2MnO4 + MnO2 + O2
The difference in observation is that, on heating, Magnesium forms its OXIDE as product; while potassium manganate(VII) decomposes, giving OFF most of its constituents and reducing its weight.
The subscriot 2 means that in the formula there are two parts of K, and the subscript 1 (implicit) for S, indicates that there is one part of S.
This is, the formula gives the ratio of the elements K and S in the compound, which is:
2 atoms of K : 1 atom of S.
Answer: there are 2 atoms of K and 1 atom of S in a molecule of K2S.
The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. The number of protons define the identity of an element.
<u>Answer and Explanation:</u>
Mercury combines with sulfur as follows -
Hg + S = HgS
Hg = 200,59
S = 32,066 Therefore 1.58 g of Hg will react with -
1.58 multiply with 32,066 divide by 200,96 of sulfur.
= 0.25211 g S
This will form 1.58 + 0.25211 g HgS = 1.83211 g HgS
The amount of S remaining = 1.10 - 0.25211 = 0.84789 g
