How many moles of magnesium oxide are formed when 4 moles of magnesium react with oxygen? this is the formula for the reaction:?

1 answer:

5 0

Mg + O2(o is a diatomic element)⇒ Mg O(UNBALANCED)
Mg is +2, o is -2, so MgO is the product.
BALANCED EQUATION : 2Mg + O2 ⇒ 2MgO
There are 4 moles of magnesium, so there should be 4/2*2=4 moles of oxygen, and the product will have 4+4=8 moles.
there will be 8 moles of magnesium oxide.

The two main products of the combustion of gasoline in an automobile engine are

kozerog [31]

There is an excess of oxygen, the two main products should be carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. If the oxygen supply is limited, the fuel will undergo incomplete combustion and produce carbon monoxide, water, and sometimes carbon.

Hope this helped! :)

Plasma is often in stars, which are likely to contain?

elena-s [515]

Below are the choices that can be found from other sources:

A) elements
B) ions
C) molecules
D) neutrons

the answer is ions.

A Star and hence our Sun, is an almost entirely ionized ball of plasma, consisting of electrons and ions, in which there is hardly any gas (neutral atoms). The movement of the plasma produces strong magnetic fields and corresponding electric currents.

In a typical analysis, 15 ml of an aqueous solution containing an unknown amount of acetylcholine had a ph of 7.65. When incubat

melomori [17]

pH of the acetyl choline solution before incubation = 7.65

$[H_{3}O^{+}]=10^{-7.65}=2.24*10^{-8}M$

pH of the solution after incubation = 6.87

$[H_{3}O^{+}]=10^{-6.87}=1.35*10^{-7}M$

The difference in concentration of hydronium ion before and after incubation

= $1.35*10^{-7}M$ - $2.24*10^{-8}M$ = $1.126*10^{-7}M$

This difference in hydronium ion concentration can be attributed to the increase in the concentration of acetic acid, which is formed when acetylcholine is hydrolyzed by acetycholinesterase. The mole ratio of acetylcholine to acetic acid is 1:1.

Therefore the moles of acetylcholine = $15 mL * \frac{1L}{1000mL}*\frac{1.126*10^{-7}mol }{L}=1.689*10^{-9}mol$

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

Step 1:

Determine the partial pressure of each gas at total Volume (V) = 4.0 L

So, using:

$\text{The new partial pressure for }N_2 \ gas}$

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

$P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\ \\ P_2=\dfrac{2.1 \ bar \times 1\ L}{4.0 \ L} \\ \\ P_2 = 0.525 \ bar$

$\text{The new partial pressure for }Ar \ gas}$

$P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\ \\ P_2=\dfrac{3.4 \ bar \times 2 \ L}{4.0 \ L} \\ \\ P_2 = 1.7 \ bar$

$Total pressure= P [N_2] + P[Ar] \ \\ \\ . \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = (0.525 + 1.7)Bar \\ \\ . \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 2.225 \ Bar$
