Na has a +1 charge, and O has a -1 charge.
Abiotic is the right answer
Answer:
The correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.
Explanation:
Hello!
Let's solve this!
When Magnesium (Mg) reacts with oxygen (O), magnesium oxide is formed.
This reaction is spontaneous and occurs with oxidation number +2 of magnesium and oxidation number -2 of oxygen. It is an ionic union, so magnesium transfers its electrons to oxygen.
We conclude that the correct answer is option c. transfer of electrons from Mg to O.
Answer: The volume of the balloon when it is fully cooled by my refrigerator is 0.3 L
Explanation:
To calculate the final volume of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.
Mathematically,
where,
are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.
are the final volume and temperature of the gas.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Thus the volume of the balloon when it is fully cooled by my refrigerator is 0.3 L
Answer:
- <em>The mystery substance is</em> <u>C. Bromine (Br) </u>
Explanation:
<em>Argon (Ar) </em>is a noble gas. Whose freezing point is -189 °C (very low), thus it cannot be the frozen substance. Also, it is not reactive, thus is would have not reacted with iron. Hence, argon is not the mystery substance.
<em>Scandium (Sc) </em>is a metal from group 3 of the periodic table, thus is will not react with iron. Thus, scandium is not the mystery substance.
Both <em>bromine</em> and <em>iodine</em> are halogens (group 17 of the periodic table).
The freezing point of bromine is −7.2 °C, and the freezing point of iodine is 113.7 °C. Thus, both could be solids (frozen) in the lab.
The reactivity of the halogens decrease from top to bottom inside the group. Bromine is above iodine. Then bromine is more reactive than iodine.
Bromine is reactive enough to react with iron. Iodine is not reactive enough to react with iron.
You can find in the internet that bromine vapour over hot iron reacts producing iron(III) bromide. Also, that bromine vapors are red-brown.
Therefore, <em>the mystery substance is bromine (Br).</em>
