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

Chemistry

GaryK [48]3 years ago

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

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

A little boy is playing with a plastic water bottle. He blows air into the bottle to make a whistling sound. Then, he wedges a plastic ball into the bottle to make a rattle. But the ball is too big—it gets stuck in the mouth of the bottle! The little boy panics and runs to his big brother for help.

Luckily, his older brother just studied the principle of Boyle's law. Based on what he learned, how will he get the ball out of the bottle?

by placing the bottle in the freezer to decrease the mass of the air inside the bottle

by pushing down on the bottle to decrease the temperature of the air in the bottle

by placing the bottle in the freezer to increase the air pressure inside the bottle

by pushing down on the bottle to increase the air pressure inside the bottle?

Explanation:

You will need to heat the bottom of the bottle to make gas build up than the ball will pop out.

What is the percent composition of CuO if a sample of CuO with a mass of 62.5 g contains 12.5 g of oxygen (O) and 50 g of Cu
Arlecino [84]

Percent (%) Composition of CuO

Cu = 1 x 50g      - Multiply by one as there is one Cu

O = 1 x 12.5g      - Multiply by one as there is one O

CuO = 62.5g

% for Cu = 50g over 62.5 multiplied by 100 = 80%

% for O = 12.5g over 62.5 multiplied by 100 = 20%

Final Answer :

<em>Percent (%) Composition of CuO = </em>80% (Cu) & 20% (O)

If a solution containing 51.429 g of mercury(ii) perchlorate is allowed to react completely with a solution containing 16.642 g
OLga [1]
Hg(No3)2  +NaSO4   --->2NaNO3  +  HgSO4(s)
calculate  the moles  of   each  reactant
moles=mass/molar  mass

moles of  Hg(NO3)2=  51.429g/  324.6  g/mol(molar  mass  of  Hg(NO3)2)=0.158  moles

moles Na2SO4  16.642g/142g/mol=  0.117  moles  of  Na2SO4

Na2SO4  is  the  limiting  reagent in  the   equation   and  by  use  mole  ratio  Na2So4  to  HgSO4  is  1:1   therefore  the  moles  of  HgSO4  =0.117  moles

mass  of  HgSO4=moles  x  molar   mass  of  HgSo4=  0.117 g x  303.6g/mol=  35.5212  grams

The plunger on a bicycle pump with a 400 mL volume cylinder is
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The answer to your question is V2 = 66.7 ml

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 400 ml

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Pressure 2 = P2 = 6 atm

Process

1.- To solve this problem use Boyle's law

                     P1V1 = P2V2

-solve for V2

                     V2 = P1V1 / P2

-Substitution

                      V2 = (1)(400) / 6

-Simplification

                      V2 = 400 / 6

-Result

                      V2 = 66.7 ml
