Answer:

Oxidizing element: Mg

Explanation:

Reaction of magnesium and oxygen can be written as:

2Mg +O_2 \rightarrow 2MgO

while writting chemical reaction between two atom or element then write their natural form i.e. how that atom or element exist in the nature.

eg. reaction of any element with Oxygen atom then we can not write directly O because oxygen exist in the nature in form of O_2

finding oxidation number each side:

Reactant side:

Mg=0;

O=0;

product side:

Mg=+2;

O=-2;

from above:

oxidation number of Mg is increasing hence this is oxidizing element

Which of the following is a buffer system? Which of the following is a buffer system? H2CO3(aq) and KHCO3(aq) NaCl(aq) and NaOH(
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as an aqueous mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

In the systems:

H₂CO₃(aq) and KHCO₃(aq): Carbonic acid, H₂CO₃, is a weak acid that, in solution with its conjugate pair, HCO₃⁻ make a <em>buffer system.</em>

NaCl(aq) and NaOH(aq): NaCl is a salt and NaOH is a strong base. Thus, this system <em>is not </em> a buffer system.

H₂O(l) and HCl(aq): Water is a solvent and HCl a strong acid. This <em>is not </em>a buffer system.

HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq): HCl is a strong acid and NaOH a strong base. This <em>is not </em>a buffer system.

NaCl(aq) and NaNO₃(aq): Both NaCl and NaNO₃ are salts and this system <em>is not </em>a buffer system.

Like Father Like Mother What is the best summary of this oassage
vovangra [49]

Answer:

hope this helps <3

Explanation:

Landon glances across the dinner table and thinks to himself that his fathers curly hair looks just like his own. He wishes his hair were straight like his mothers because he thinks he looks better with straight hair. Landon works hard to keep it straighter by combing and using hair gel, but it usually curls right back up. He has his mothers nose, but not her hair, unlike his sister Emily, who is also the result of the combination of the DNA from both of his parents and has straight hair like their mothers. Most eukaryotic organisms, like Landon, are formed through the process of sexual reproduction. Landon realizes that he and Emily are evidence that sexual reproduction, the combination of their two parents, creates diverse offspring.

Landons dinner plate is filled with one of his favorite foods-mashed potatoes made from potatoes fresh from his grandmothers garden. He remembers helping her get ready to plant the potatoes in early spring. They cut each potato into several pieces and planted the pieces in a nice straight row in the garden. When these eukaryotic plants came up, he noticed that each plant looked like all the others. These identical offspring with uniform traits are the result of asexual reproduction. Landons grandmother grew potatoes by cutting the whole potato into smaller pieces, which is a type of asexual reproduction called vegetative propagation.

After dinner, Landon wanted to go watch television, but his mother insisted that he put the leftover food in the refrigerator. Perhaps she knew that the cool temperature inside the refrigerator would stop the growth of bacteria, which are prokaryotic and can reproduce asexually in as little as 20 minutes. This rapid asexual reproduction, called binary fission, would produce thousands and thousands of identical bacterial cells that could cause Landons tasty leftover food to spoil before the end of his favorite show.

Landon finishes up the dishes and puts away the leftovers. As he sets the last dinner glass back into the cupboard, he catches a glimpse of his curly hair in his reflection. He thinks to himself that his mothers nose and his fathers hair are actually a good combination that looks pretty good on him
