Explanation:

Mg+O>MgO

Here the mg loses it electron and is oxidised and oxygen gains and is reduced.

Mg(2+)and O(2-)

Mg is a reducing agent it makes oxygen to be reduced while itself being oxidised and vice versa.

when carbon is burned in the air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. when 22.8 g of carbon were burned in the presenc

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

So there is83.6g CO2 produced

Explanation:

Burning carbon with air has the following equation

C + O2 → CO2

For 1 mol Carbon, we have 1 mol O2 and 1 mol CO2

Step 2: Calculating moles

mole C = 22.8g / 12g/mole

Mole C = 1.9 mole

1.9 mole C will completely react

Since for each mole C there is 1 mole O2 and 1 mole CO2

This means there will also react 1.9 mole of 02, to be formed 1.9 mole of CO2

mole CO2 = mass CO2 / Molar mass CO2

mass CO2 = 1.9 mole CO2 * 44g/mole =<u>83.6g CO2</u>

In this reaction 18.2 g of O2 remained unreacted

we can control this: 79g - 18.2 g = 60.8g

1.9 mole * 32g/mol = 60.8g

So there is83.6g CO2 produced

Explain three factors that can affect the size of a line in a spectrum.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:For atoms and molecules, the width of spectral lines is governed mainly by the broadening of the energy levels of the atoms or molecules during interactions with surrounding particles and by the broadening of the spectral lines as a result of the Doppler effect.

What is plasma in chemistry

faltersainse [42]

Explanation:

Plasma is an ionized gas, a distinct fourth state of matter. “Ionized” means that at least one electron is not bound to an atom or molecule, converting the atoms or molecules into positively charged ions.but plasma is present in human body too in a liquid form.

PLZ HELP OR WILL FAIL!!

lianna [129]

Hey there!

Label A: Sublimation
Label B: Condensation
Label C: Melting

Remember sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state, without passing through the liquid state. Condensation is the conversion of a vapor or gas to a liquid. Melting is becoming liquefied by heat.

Hope this helps!
