Answer : The oxidation number of magnesium in MgO is, (+2).

Explanation :

Oxidation number : The oxidation number represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2.

The given compound is, $MgO$

Let the oxidation state of 'Mg' be, 'x'

$x+(-2)=0\\\\x-2=0\\\\x=+2$

Therefore, the oxidation number of magnesium (Mg) in MgO is, (+2)

Answer:

You cannot make gold with bakery ingredients as gold is made with hydrogen and helium. Not everything follows the same recipe as some objects. There are different recipes for each material which makes sense because minerals aren't made of wheat. Those minerals feel like stone and act like stone, so it wouldn't be logical if it was crafted with flour, sugar and eggs.

Hope this helps.

aalyn [17]

Answer is: density of the talc sample in air is 4,61 g/cm³.
m(talc) = 13,65 g.
d(talc) = 1,75 g/cm³.
V(talc) = m(talc) ÷ d(talc).
V(talc) = 13,65 g ÷ 1,75 g/cm³.
V(talc) = 7,8 cm³.
d(talc in air) = m(talc in air) ÷ V(talc).
d(talc in air) = 35,97 g ÷ 7,8 cm³.
d(talc in air) = 4,61 g/cm³.
