In one mole of talc, we observe that there are:
3 moles of Mg
4 moles of Si
2 moles of H
12 moles of O
The molar ratio of O to Mg is then:
12 moles of O : 3 moles of Mg = 4 : 1
Therefore, if 6.1 moles of Mg are present, the moles of O are:
4 * 6.1 = 24.4 moles of O
There are two possible situations.
1) If a phase change is not occurring, then the heat added contributes to increased translational energy of the particles. What that means is the particles move/vibrate faster.
2) If a phase change is occurring, then the heat added contributes to the breaking of bonds or intermolecular forces (depending on the chemical nature of the matter you're dealing with).
A neon atom has 2 principal energy levels.
