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.

The final temperature and pressure in a container is 234K at 210 kPa.

andre [41]

Answer:

Initial pressure = 157 kpa (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

final temperature = 234 K

final pressure = 210 kpa

Initial temperature = 175 K

Find:

Initial pressure

Computation:

Initial pressure / Initial temperature = final pressure / final temperature

Initial pressure / 175 = 210 / 234

Initial pressure = 157 kpa (Approx)

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N.

N76 [4]

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N, if the molar mass is 90± 5 g/mol the molecular formula is N₂O₄.

<h3>What is molar mass?</h3>

The molar mass of a chemical compound is determined by dividing its mass by the quantity of that compound, expressed as the number of moles in the sample, measured in moles. A substance's molar mass is one of its properties. The compound's molar mass is an average over numerous samples, which frequently have different masses because of isotopes.

<h3>How to find the molecular formula?</h3>

The whole-number multiple is defined as follows.

Whole-number multiple = $\frac{molar mass (g/mol)}{empirical formula mass (g/mol)}$

The empirical formula mass is shown below.

Mw of empirical formula = Mw of N+ 2 x (Mw of O)

= 14.01 g/mol + 2 x (16.00 g/mol)

= 46.01 g/mol

With the given molar mass or the molecular formula mass, we can get the whole-number multiple for the compound.

Whole-number multiple = $\frac{90 g/mol }{46.01 g/mol}$ ≈ 2

Multiplying the subscripts of NO2 by 2, the molecular formula is N(1x2)O(2x2)= N2O4.

Magma can partially crystallize at depth and then rise to shallow depths where the remaining magma solidifies. The early-formed

Doss [256]

<h2>Phenocrysts and Porphyritic texture </h2>

Explanation:

The early formed crystals are of phenocrysts and the texture of these crystals is porphyritic texture.
This crystallization occurs when early-forming plagioclase crystals which are rich in calcium start coating with plagioclase crystals which are rich in sodium.
On cooling, the magma is then processed in a volcanic eruption, after the eruption the liquid which is left behind will start cooling and forms a porphyritic texture.
