Balanced chemical equation: Mg(ClO₃)₂(s) → MgCl₂ + 3O₂(g).

Magnesium chlorate is decomposed on magnesium chlorate and oxygen.

According to principle of mass conservation, number of atoms must be equal on both side of chemical reaction.  

There are one magnesium atom, two chlorine atoms and six oxygen atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction.  

Decomposition is reaction where one substance (in this example magnesium chlorate) is broken down into two or more simpler substances (magnesium chloride and oxygen).

How is burning magnesium different than burning methane
olya-2409 [2.1K]

You can stop the burning of methane with water or carbon dioxide extinguishers but problems arise when you try to use this to stop the burning of the magnesium.

Explanation:

To burn magnesium (Mg) and methane (CH₄) you need to react them with oxygen:

2 Mg (s) + O₂ (g) → 2 MgO + heat

CH₄ (g) + 2  O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2 H₂O (g) + heat

However at that temperatures magnesium (Mg) is able to react with water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).

Mg (s) + 2 H₂O (l) → Mg(OH)₂ (s) + H₂ (g)

2 Mg (s) + CO₂ (g) → 2 MgO (s) + C (s)

So the safe option to stop the burning of the magnesium is to limit the oxygen in the air.

we have used the following notations:

(s) - solid

(g) - gas

(l) - liquid

Would aluminum be as useful as food wrapping if it had a much lower melting point? Explain your answer.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

The correct answers are as follows:

1. Aluminium will not be useful as food wrapping if it has a much lower melting point.

Aluminum is a metallic element that is malleable and soft, thus, it is easy to beat it into thin sheet, which are used to package food. The thin sheet is called aluminium foil. Aluminum is useful as a food wrapping because it has high temperature and thus, it does not react with food (the hotness of the packaged food is not capable of melting the metal). If the melting point of aluminium is lower, this implies that little temperature, such as the one from hot food will be able to melt aluminum foil, thus allowing the food to be contaminated with the metal.

2. When bleach react with fabric dye chemical change occur in the fabric.

The major element in bleach is chlorine. When laundry bleach is added to a fabric, the chlorine component of the bleach will react with the fabric dye and cause a colour change in the fabric. This type of change is called chemical change, because the original colour of the fabric can not be recovered.

3. Every substance has specific properties, which can be used to identify it. Two of such specific properties are melting point and boiling point. Melting point refers to a specific temperature at which a solid substance will melt while boiling point refers to a specific temperature at which a liquid substance will boil and turn to steam.

Water for instance has a boiling point of 100 degree Celsius. To find out if an unknown substance is water, one can determine the boiling point of such liquid. A boiling point of 100 degree Celsius will strongly signify that the substance is probably water. The same thing applies to melting point. If the specific boiling and melting point of substances are known, then they can be used to identify them.

What pressure will be exerted by 25 g of CO2 at temperature of 25°C and a volume of .50 L?
Grace [21]

Answer:

P = 27.9 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ = 25 g

Temperature = 25°C (25+273.15 K = 298.15 K)

Volume of gas = 0.50 L

Pressure of gas = ?

Solution:

Firs of all we will calculate the number of moles of gas,

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 25 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.57 mol

Pressure of gas :

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

P × 0.50 L = 0.57 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  × 298.15 K

P = 13.95 atm.L/ 0.50 L

P = 27.9 atm
