Answer:
Reactant : A combustion of hydrocarbon.
Explanation:
It is known that when hydrocarbons are involved in combustion, they produce carbon dioxide and water.
CxHy + (x+y/4)O2 ===> xCO2 + y/2H2O
Answer:
30 g of magnesium would be combined with 20 g of oxygen. The law used solving this problem is the Lavoisier Law of conservation of mass.
Explanation:
If 60 g of magnesium combines with 40 g of oxygen to make 100 g of magnesium oxide, then 30 g of magnesium will combine with 20 g of oxygen to make 50 g of magnesium oxide.
This happens because in a chemical reaction there is no creation or descruction of atoms, only a rearrangement. Therefore, the mass of reactants should be equal to the mass of products.
The following equation represents the proportions of the substances:
Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO
Format Method - Writing the symbol of the cation and then the anion. Add whatever subscripts in order to balance the charges.
Crisscross Method - The numerical value of the charge of each ion is crossed over and becomes the subscripts for the other ion.
Compounds are made up of elements that exist in a fixed proportion. These elements are composed of atoms. Now, the atom has subatomic particles (proton, neutron and electrons), however, these particles lack the ability to take part in chemical reactions by themselves; the smallest unit of a compound that can take part in a chemical reaction, therefore, is an ATOM.
Thus, an AT<span>OM is the smallest unit of a compound that retains the unique properties of the compound</span>
