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

Lead has a density of 11.29 g/mL. If you had 186 g of lead, what would its volume be?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
I think you just do 11.29 multiplied by 186 since to find density you divide mass by volume. So 186 divided by x is 11.29. So in conclusion the volume would be 2,099.94mL

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 575 nm appears as yellow light to the human eye. The energy of one photon of this
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

9.12 * 10^20 photons

Explanation:

Given that;

E=n⋅h⋅ν

Where;

E= energy of the electromagnetic radiation

n = number of photons

h = Plank's constant

ν = frequency of electromagnetic radiation

Hence;

n = E/hν

n = 3.46 × 10 -19/6.6 * 10^-34 * 575 * 10^-9

n = 3.46 × 10 -19/3795 * 10^-43

n=  9.12 * 10^20 photons
