You can stop the burning of methane with water or carbon dioxide extinguishers but problems arise when you try to use this to stop the burning of the magnesium.
Explanation:
To burn magnesium (Mg) and methane (CH₄) you need to react them with oxygen:
2 Mg (s) + O₂ (g) → 2 MgO + heat
CH₄ (g) + 2 O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (g) + heat
However at that temperatures magnesium (Mg) is able to react with water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Mg (s) + 2 H₂O (l) → Mg(OH)₂ (s) + H₂ (g)
2 Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → 2 MgO (s) + C (s)
So the safe option to stop the burning of the magnesium is to limit the oxygen in the air.
we have used the following notations:
(s) - solid
(g) - gas
(l) - liquid

Answer:
O A. A metal higher on the activity series list will replace one that is
lower.
Atomic mass!!! the electrons and atomic mass will always be the same most the time
This is probably true but I’m not 100% sure
Answer:
2 chlorine atoms.
Explanation:
H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl
The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
If 2 molecules of Hydrogen and 2 molecules of Chlorine is present in the reactants, the same no. of atoms should also be present in the product.
∴ the no. of chlorine atoms in the product is 2.
