what is the balanced equation for the reaction of solid magnesium metal with oxygen gas to produce solid magnesium oxide

Chemistry
1 answer:
GaryK [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Explanation:

Step 1. Start with the most complicated-looking formula (O₂?).

Put a 1 in front of it.

Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ MgO

Step 2. Balance O.

We have fixed 2 O on the left. We need 2O on the right. Put a 2 in front of MgO.

Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Step 3. Balance Mg.

We have fixed 2 Mg on the right-hand side. We need 2 Mg atoms on the left. Put a 2 in front of Mg.

2Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Every formula now has a coefficient. The equation should be balanced. Let’s check.

<u>Atom</u>  <u>On the left</u>  <u>On the righ</u>t

  Mg             2                  2

  O                2                  2

All atoms are balanced.

The balanced equation is

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

I'm just doing the ones that you don't have numbers already for.
2.) just leave it alone and it's correct
3.) Mg + 2AgNo3 --> Mg(No3)2 + 2Ag
5.) just leave it alone and it's correct
8.) 10C3H8O3 + 15O2 --> 30CO2 + 4H2O
10.) P4 + 6Br2 --> 4PBr3
12.) 2FeCl3 + 6NaOH --> 2Fe(OH)3 + 6NaCl
13.) 2CH3OH + 3O2 --> 2CO2 + 4H2O
14.) 2Al + 3Cu(NO3)2 --> 2Al(NO3)3 + 3Cu
15.) 3CaCl2 + 2K3AsO4 --> Ca3(AsO4)2 + 6KCl
16.) 2NH3 --> N2 + 3H2
17.) 2H3PO4 + 3Ba(OH)2 --> Ba3(PO4)2 + 6H2O
19.) Mg3N2 + 6H2O --> 3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3
I hope this helps you!!

Predict which member of each pair will be more acidic. Explain your answers. (a) methanol or tert-butyl alcohol (b) 2-chloroprop
Art [367]

Answer:

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Explanation:

Primary alcohols are stronger acids than secondary alcohols which are stronger than tertiary alcohols.

This trend is so because of the stability of the alkoxide ion formed(stabilising the base, increases the acidity). A more stabilised alkoxide ion is a weaker conjugate base (dissociation of an acid in water).

By electronic factors, When there are alkyl groups donating electrons, the density of electrons on th O- will increase a d thereby make it less stable.

By stearic factors, More alkyl group bonded to the -OH would mean the bulkier the alkoxide ion which would be harder to stabilise.

Down the group of the periodic table, basicity (metallic character) decreases as we go from F– to Cl– to Br– to I– because that negative charge is being spread out over a larger volume that is electronegativity decreases down the group.

Electronegative atoms give rise to inductive effect and a decrease in indutive effects leads to a decrease in acidity. Therefore an Increasing distance from the -OH group lsads to a decrease in acidity.

From above,

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Which statement is true in comparison to a weak acid, a strong acid
Allushta [10]

Answer: Strong acid vs weak acid

Strong acids and strong bases refer to species that completely dissociate to form ions in solution.

Explanation: By contrast, weak acids and bases ionize only partially, and the ionization reaction is reversible. Thus, weak acid and base solutions contain multiple charged and uncharged species in dynamic equilibrium.

How many moles of O2 are needed to react with 2.35 mol of C2H2?
Mrrafil [7]
2 C2H2 + 5 O2 --> 4 CO2 + 2 H2O

2.35 mol C2H2 - x mol O2
2 mol C2H2 - 5 mol O2

x =  \frac{2.35 \times 5}{2}  = 5.875 \: mol
answer: 5.875 mol
