Magnesium element exists as single atoms. Free oxygen is always diatomic (two atoms bonded together) as O2. Nitrogen gas is also diatomic N2.

2Mg + O2 → MgO

Mg forms a +2 ion, O forms a -2 ion, so they combine and balance in a 1:1 ratio. MgO, magnesium oxide, is a solid. 
3Mg + N2→Mg3N2

Mg forms a +2 ion, but N forms a -3 ion. Hence the Mg3N2 configuration for magnesium nitride.

If you want to lift a 30-kg box to a height of 1 m, how much work will it take?
natta225 [31]

Explanation:

workdone = force x distance

force = mass x acceleration

30 x 10 = 300N

300N x 1m

workdone= 300J

the barometric pressure in breckenridge colorado is (elevation 9600 frleet) is 580 mmhg. how many atmospheres is there​
solmaris [256]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{0.763 atm}}

Explanation:

1 atm = 760 mmHg

\text{Pressure} = \text{580 mmHg} \times \dfrac{\text{1 atm}}{\text{760 mmHg}} = \textbf{0.763 atm}\\\\\text{The atmospheric pressure in Breckenridge is  $\large \boxed{\textbf{0.763 atm}}$}

A log has a density of .8 g/cm³. What will happen to this log in freshwater, which has a density of 1.0 g/cm³?
Inga [223]

Answer:

The log will float on the water because its density is lower than the liquid, so it will stay at the top due to Archimedes' principle.

How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 67.0 g of water from its melting point to its boiling point?
vodka [1.7K]

When 67 g of water is heated from its melting point to its boiling point, it takes 28006 J of heat.

<h2>Relationship between heat production and temperature change</h2>
  • A way to numerically relate the quantity of thermal energy acquired (or lost) by a sample of any substance to that sample's mass and the temperature change that results from that is provided by specific heat capacity.

The following formula is frequently used to describe the connection between these four values.

q = msΔT

where, q = the amount of heat emitted or absorbed by the thing

m =  the object's mass = 67 gm

s =  a specific heat capacity of the substance = 4.18  J/gC

ΔT = the resultant change in the object's temperature = 373.15 -273.15K= 100 k

q = 67 * 4.18 * 100 J

⇒q = 28006 J

Therefore it is concluded that 67 g of water takes 28006 J of heat from its melting point to reach its boiling point.
