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

Nitric acid can be produced by the reaction of gaseous nitrogen dioxide with water. 3 no2(g) + h2o(ℓ) −→ 2 hno3(ℓ) + no(g) if 85
Naya [18.7K]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
3NO₂ + H₂O --> 2HNO₃ + NO
stoichiometry of NO₂ to NO is 3:1
molar volume is where 1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L
volume of gas is directly proportional to number of moles of gas.
therefore stoichiometry can be applied for volume as well.
volume ratio of NO₂ to NO is 3:1
volume of NO₂ reacted - 854 L
therefore volume of NO formed - 854 L /3 = 285 L
volume of NO formed - 285 L

What is the nuclear equation for decay of Am - 241
adelina 88 [10]

Americium is a radioactive element .

  • It goes through alpha decay during nuclear reactions .

The nuclear reaction.is given by

\rm {}^{241}_{95}Am\longrightarrow {}^{237}_{93}Np+{}^4_2\alpha

  • Np stands for Nuptunium

Here alpha can be written as He too
