Mg (s)       +    HCl (aq)    →  MgCl₂(s)   + H₂(g)

Looking at the equation :

We have 1 Mg at the left hand side and 1 Mg as well on the right hand side.
So that is balanced. 

We have 1 H at the left hand side and 2 H on the right hand side.
So that is not balanced.  Same for Chlorine. Cl.

We add 2 to the HCl on the left hand side and that balances it.

Mg(s)       +    2HCl(aq)    →  MgCl₂(s)  + H₂(g)

How can understanding atomic light help astronomers determine what planets are composed of?
GuDViN [60]

The most common method astronomers use to determine the composition of stars, planets, and other objects is spectroscopy. This process utilizes instruments with a grating that spreads out the light from an object by wavelength. This spread-out light is called a spectrum. Every element has a unique fingerprint that allows researchers to determine what it is made of.

The fingerprint often appears as the absorption of light. Every atom has electrons, and these electrons like to stay in their lowest-energy levels. But when photons carrying energy hit an electron, they can push it to higher energy levels. This is absorption, and each element’s electrons absorb light at specific wavelengths related to the difference between energy levels in that atom. But the electrons want to return to their original levels, so they don’t hold onto the energy for long. When they emit the energy, they release photons with exactly the same wavelengths of light that were absorbed in the first place. An electron can release this light in any direction, so most of the light is emitted in directions away from our line of sight. Therefore, a dark line appears in the spectrum at that particular wavelength.  

Because the wavelengths at which absorption lines occur are unique for each element, astronomers can measure the position of the lines to determine which elements are present in a target. The amount of light that is absorbed can also provide information about how much of each element is present.

Water _____.
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: is neither an acid nor a base

Explanation: Water is a universal solvent which means it can dissolve most of the substances in it.

Water has high thermal heat capacity , which means large heat is required to heat the water.

Water is not always pure as it gets contaminated by various pollutants present in the atmosphere such as gases, bacteria and suspended matter.

Water is an amphoteric substance which can act as both acid and base, thus can donate and acept [texH^+[/tex] ions.Thus it is neither an acid nor a base.

HCl+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++Cl^-

Here water is accepting a proton, thus it acts as base.

NH_3+H_2O\rightarrow NH_4^++OH^-

Here water is donating a proton, thus it acts as acid.
