N the reaction Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 which element’s oxidation number does not change?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:- Oxidation number of Cl does not change as it is -1 on both sides.

Explanations:- oxidation number of Mg on reactant side is 0 as it is in its elemental form(not combined with another element).

Oxidation number  of hydrogen in its compounds is +1, so if H is +1 in HCl the oxidation number of Cl is -1 as the sum has to be zero.

On product side, Mg oxidation number is +2 as the oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2.

Two Cl are present in magnesium chloride, so if Mg is +2 then Cl is -1.

Oxidation number of H on product side is 0 as it is present in its elemental for, H_2 ,

So, it is only chlorine(Cl) whose oxidation number does not change for the given equation.

Which statements are true about reversible reactions?
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Reversible reactions exhibit the same reaction rate for forward and reverse reactions at equilibrium.

Reversible reactions exhibit constant concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium

Explanation:

A reversible reaction is a reaction that can proceed in both forward and backward direction.

Equilibrium is attained in a chemical system when there is no observable change in the properties of the system.

At equilibrium, a reversible reaction is occurring in at same rate. That is, the forward and backward reaction is occurring at the same rate. As the rate of the forward and backward reaction remains the same, the concentrations of the reactants and products will also be the same in order for the equilibrium to be maintained.

Answer:

that pressure is called atmospheric pressure or air pressure. It is the force exerted on a surface by the air above is as gravity pulls it to earth. atmospheric pressure is commonly measured with a barometer. In a barometer , a column of mercury is a glass tube rises ot falls as the weight of the atmospheric changes
