6 0

Answer:

Becuse magnesium is a earth alkaline metal and oxygen is a nonmetal(read explanation)

Explanation:

Magnesium has 2 valence electrons where oxygen has 6 valence electrons. Magnesium has tendency to give electrons to oxygen and oxygen has tendency to gain electrons. They are both trying to complete their last shell to 8 which is called the octet rule. Because they both want to complete each other because of the reasons that I told they combine to be stanle atoms like noble gases.

Ca(s)+2hno3(aq)→ca(no3)2(aq)+h2(g) identify the oxidizing agent.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

To find for the oxidizing agent, first let us write the half reactions of this complete chemical reaction:

Ca = Ca2+ + 2e- <span>
2 H+ + 2e- = H2</span>

 

The oxidizing agent would be the substance of the element that is reduced. We know that an element is reduced when an electron is added to it. In this case, the element being reduced is H. Therefore the oxidizing agent is HNO3.

 

Answer:

<span>HNO3</span>

The three main options for Microsoft users are Find It Myself, Ask the Community, Get Live Help. The first of which is finding it yourself through the search menu or help guidelines provided by Microsoft in all of their operating systems.

A student was given a pale blue transparent liquid in a beaker. The student gently heated the solution until the liquid had vapo
Vikki [24]
This is so as the liquid you are heating is copper (II) sulfate (I think so) so when you heat it to saturation, there will still be some water molecules left behind, which will allow copper (II) sulfate crystals to be formed since there is water of crystallisation. so the formula is (CuSO4.5H2O).

Hence, if you heat it for a longer period of time when all the water has evaporated, you will obtain a white powder (CuSO4) as crystals cannot form without water of crystallisation
