Answer:

Explanation:

Magnesium when it oxidizes has a valence of 2.

Oxygen, when it mixes with something, has a valence of - 2

So Mg and O2 will form something, but what? The answer is MgO

Mg + O2 ===> MgO

To balance this equation, you need 2 Magnesiums on the right and 2 Oxygens also on the right. The left will need a  two Magnesiums.

The balanced equation will be

2Mg + O2 ====> 2MgO

What is the molarity of NO−3 in 0.160M KNO3?
zubka84 [21]
A solution of KNO3 consists of ions of potassium and nitrate. The ionic equation is expressed as:

KNO3 = K+ + NO3-

There is 1 is to 1 ratio between the substances. So, the molarity of NO3- in the solution is calculated as follows:

0.160 mol / L KNO3 ( 1 mol NO3- / 1 mol KNO3 ) = 0.160 M NO3-

A rectangular block of solid carbon (graphite) floats at the interface of two immiscible liquids.
Sergio039 [100]

Explanation:

Let us take the volume of block is x.

Since, the block is floating this means that it is in equilibrium. Formula to calculate net force will be as follows.

                F_{net} = Buoyancy force(F_{b}) - weight force(w)

Also, buoyancy force (F_{b}) = (volume submerged in water × density of water) + (volume in oil × density of oil)

          (F_{b}) = (0.592 V \times \rho) + (1 - 0.592)V \times 1000 g          

                      = (0.592 V \times \rho + 408 V) g

As,   W = V × density of graphite × g

It is given that density of graphite is 2.16 g/cm^{3} or 2160 kg/m^{3}.

So, W = 2160 V g

F_{net} = (0.592 V \rho + 408 V) g - 2160 V g = 0

            0.592 \rho = 1752

     \rho = 2959.46 kg/m^{3} or 2.959 g/cm^{3} is the density of oil.

It is given that mass of flask is 124.8 g.

Mass of 35.3 cm^{3} oil = 35.3 \times 2.959 104.7 g

Hence, in second weighing total mass will be calculated as follows.

                       (124.8 + 104.7) g

                       = 229.27 g

Thus, we can conclude that in the second weighing mass is 229.27 g.
