When magnesium is burned, it reacts with oxygen in air not with the fire. The fire is the energy needed for the reaction to happen. Magnesium reacts with oxygen forming magnesium oxide. The light emitted from the reaction is because the reaction produced a lot of heat.
A) GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements
Explanation:
The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics is the use of GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements.
GPS denotes Global Positioning Systems.
Satellite imagery is a recent advancement in the study of moving plates.
- The global positioning system uses the position of a system of satellites in space to delineate positions on earth.
- It works on the principles of triangulation and this helps to fix positions of objects on the earth surface.
- With this, the change in position of the plates can be recorded by known fixed positions of objects.
- Satellite imagery helps to map changes in terrain with time.
- Images can be correlated through time and the shift in terrains delineated.

1. The reaction for this would be:
Sn + 4 HNO₃ → SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O
The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.
2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.
Water moves from an area of higher water potential (aka. "more water" in simple language) to an area of lower water potential (aka. "less water" in simple language).
For A, cells in carrots have water stored in their cytoplasm, where many soluble substances may be found (e.g. sodium ions). On the other hand, pure water has no other soluble substances other than the water molecules (I.e. H2O). Pure water will thus have a higher water potential as compared to the water in carrot cells, and so, water will move from pure water into the carrot cells via osmosis down a concentration gradient.
B. Corn syrup is water that has high concentrations of sugars, thus it is very likely to have a lower water potential than the cells of carrots. Water will move from within the cells of carrots and out to the corn syrup, down a concentration gradient.
C. The water in carrot cells will stay the same, since carrot cells have the same water potential as the surrounding solution which has the same water potential as cytoplasm.
Hope this helps! :)
