What happens when an acid reacts with a metal such as magnesium?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kisachek [45]3 years ago
5 0
Given that the metal is reactive, like magnesium is, the ions of the metal displace the hydrogen ions released by the acid and the metal ions combine with the acid's anions, forming a salt. The displaced hydrogen ions are released in the form of hydrogen gas. The reaction equation is as follows:
Acid + metal → salt + hydrogen gas

What needed to be present in marine mud to form fossil fuels?
UkoKoshka [18]
When organisms and plants died and sank to the bottom of swamps and oceans, brown soil-like materials called peat are formed. Over millions of years, the peat became covered with sand, clay and other minerals and the peat is converted into layers of sedimentary rocks. After a long time, different type of fossil fuels are formed.

Discuss the shapes of s- orbitals, p-orbitals and d-orbitals.
timurjin [86]

The azimuthal quantum number (l) determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

s-orbitals (for example 1s, 2s) are spherically symmetric around the nucleus of the atom.

p-orbitals are dumb-bell shaped. l = 0,1...n-1, when l = 1, that is p subshell.

d-orbitals are butterfly shaped.

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. Despite its name, silica gel
Zinaida [17]

So we look equation for the free Gibbs free energy (ΔG) which depends on entalpy (ΔH), temperature (T) and entropy (ΔS):

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG is negative (-) because the water absorption on the silica gel surface is a spontaneous process.

ΔH is negative (-) because the water absorption on the silica gel surface is a exothermic process (it releases heat and if you want to desorb the water form the silica gen you need to add heat which is a endothermic process).

ΔS is negative (-) because the water is adsorbed, so from disorderly state you take the water molecules and put them in a orderly state and by doing that you decrease the entropy.

Which statement best explains why heating a liquid affects its viscosity?
mylen [45]
The statement that best explains why heating a liquid affects its viscosity is that "The molecules move faster at higher temperatures and overcome attractions more easily."<span>. Remember that viscosity is a physical property of the fluids that measure the resistance (opposition) to flow and it, generally decreases, as the temperature increases and the intermolecular force decrease.</span>
