EXPLAIN how to identify the reducing agent in a reaction of magnesium with oxygen

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alina [70]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Anouk does 150 J of work using a hammer to pull a nail out of a piece of wood, and the hammer does 105 J of work on the nail. Wh
astraxan [27]
The efficiency of any machine is given by:

efficiency = output obtained / input given

Substituting the values,
Efficiency = 105 / 150
Efficiency = 0.7

Converting this to a percentage, the efficiency of the hammer is 70%.
This is a fairly high efficiency, and this is due to the fact that the hammer is a simpler machine. The more complex a machine is, the greater are the losses in it due to friction, meaning there is a lower efficiency.

The reaction, 2C4H10 (g) + 13O2 (g) à 8CO2 (g) + 5H2O (g), is the combustion of butane. What occurs as the reaction proceeds?
Solnce55 [7]
The reaction, 2 C4H10 (g) + 13 O2 (g) = 8 CO2 (g) + 5 H2O (g), is the combustion of butane.   A combustion reaction involves the reaction of a hydrocarbon with oxygen producing carbon dioxide and water. This reaction is exothermic which means it releases energy in the form of heat. Therefore, as the reaction proceeds,a heat energy is being given off by the reaction. This happens because the total kinetic energy of the reactants is greater than the total kinetic energy of the products. So, the excess energy should be given off somewhere which in this case is released as heat.

A 0.5 mol sample of He(g) and a 0.5 mol sample of Ne(g) are placed separately in two 10.0 L rigid containers at 25°C. Each conta
KiRa [710]

Answer:

Helum (He)g will escape faster

Explanation:

the phenomemenon can be explained by the Graham's law of diffusion.

Graham's law of difussion states that the rate of difussion is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular mass,which means the gas with lower molecular mass will escape faster.

Helium gas has a molecular mass of 4 while Neon has a molecular mass of 10.

rate of diffusion of He/rate of difussion of Ne=√4/10=√0.4=0.63

It means He(g) will move 0.63 times faster than Ne(g) under the same condition
