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)

What happens in a neutralization reaction?

mina [271]

Answer:

Answer is letter B

Explanation:

The first one is wrong because acids release H+, not bases.

The third one is wrong because the pH is exactly 7, not greater.

The last one is wrong because it is vague and does not fit a neutralization reaction.

while ionic compounds in the solid state do not conduct electricity, when they are melted, electric current

evablogger [386]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ionic (or electrovalent) compounds conduct electricity when there they are in the aqueous state/solution because the charges of ions of these compounds are what carry the electric charges in the aqueous solution as a result of free movement within the aqueous solution which they do not "have" when in there solid state (where they have a highly restricted movement/compacted structure).

During oxidation what happen

Agata [3.3K]

Oxidation is when a substance gains oxygen molecules. For example when hydrogen reacts with oxygen it forms H₂O. The H₂ has been oxidised.

A lead mass is heated and placed in a foam cup calorimeter containing 40.0 mL of water at 17.0°C. The water reaches a temperatur

lbvjy [14]

Answer: 502 Joules

Explanation:

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}$

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 40.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{40.0mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1g/mL\times 40.0mL)=40.0g$

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by lead will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

$Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}$

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

$q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

q = heat absorbed by water

$m$ = mass of water = 40.0 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature of water = 20.0°C

$T_{initial$ = initial temperature of water = 17.0°C

$c$ = specific heat of water= 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$q=40.0\times 4.186\times (20.0-17.0)]$

$q=502J$

Hence, the joules of heat were re-leased by the lead is 502

The chemical equation shows iron(III) phosphate reacting with sodium sulfate. 2FePO4 + 3Na2SO4 Fe2(SO4)3 + 2Na3PO4 What is the t

slava [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of iron(III) phosphate = 20.00 g

Molar mass of iron(III) phosphate = 150.82 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of iron(III) phosphate}=\frac{20g}{150.82g/mol}=0.133mol$

The given chemical equation follows:

$2FePO_4+3Na_2SO_4\rightarrow Fe_2(SO_4)_3+2Na_3PO_4$

As, sodium sulfate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, iron(III) phosphate is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron(III) phosphate produces 1 mole of iron(III) sulfate

So, 0.133 moles of iron(III) phosphate will produce = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.133=0.0665moles$ of iron(III) sulfate

Now, calculating the mass of iron(III) sulfate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron(III) sulfate = 399.9 g/mol

Moles of iron(III) sulfate = 0.0665 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.0665mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron(III) sulfate}}{399.9g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron(III) sulfate}=(0.0665mol\times 399.9g/mol)=26.6g$

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams
