The magnesium metal is highly reactive and can ignite in contact with moisture or even air. The skin is usually covering in moisture, so the contact with it may cause a reaction that can produce irritation, lesions and even burns.

Crucible tongs are mandatory to handle hot crucibles to avoid skin burns and accidents during experimental procedures. Crucible tongs work with the crucible; their shape was designed to firmly hold it to avoid spills.

Touching the magnesium metal can actually contaminate it and bring with it impurities which may not be removed by heating. So this leads to error in weighing.

 

There are two reasons not to touch the crucible tong with bare hands:

1. The crucible tong is used during firing so it is extremely hot and may burn your hands

2. Any impurities in your hand may contaminate the tong hence leading to error just like the case for the magnesium metal

How many atoms are in 3.75 moles of Fe
denis23 [38]

Answer:

2.26 × 10²⁴ atoms of Fe

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of atoms of a substance using the amount of moles, we must multiply by Avagadro's number.

(3.75mol) × (6.02 × 10²³) = 2.26 × 10²⁴ atoms of Fe

Jot down the formula of the ionic compound. Let's say the ionic compound you're working with is NaCl.  

Write the name of the metal.

Add the name of the non-metal with an –ide ending.

Combine the cation and anion names.

Practice naming more simple ionic compounds.

Indicate which reaction will occur faster. explain your reasoning. select the single best answer. solvolysis of 1−chloro−2,2−dim
Radda [10]
The tert-butyl chloride in ethanol would surely react faster than the solvolysis of 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane. It is known that both reactions are under the SN2 category so it would be hard for these reactions to occur. However, SN1 reactions are possible because of the ethanol which is a polar solvent. Both would form carbocations but tert-butyl chloride forms a more stable carbocation while the 1-chloro-2,2-dimethyl propane forms a primary carbocation only.
