In a common experiment in the general chemistry laboratory, magnesium metal is heated in air to produce MgO. MgO is a white soli

d, but in these experiments it often looks gray, due to small amounts of Mg3N2 , a compound formed as some of the magnesium reacts with nitrogen. Write a balanced equation for each reaction.

Digiron [165]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

When magnesium metal burns is heated i the air it forms magnesium oxide.The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO

2 moles of magnesium metal when reacts with 1 moles of oxygen it gives 2 moles of magnesium oxide which is white in color.

Some times along with formation of magnesium oxide small amount of magnesium nitride also produced due to which magnesium oxide appears grey in color .The balanced chemical reaction is given as:

3Mg+N_2\rightarrow Mg_3N_2

3 moles of magnesium combines with 1 mol of nitrogen gas to to give 1 mol of magnesium nitride.

How is the potential (voltage) of a redox reaction determined using the reduction
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

caused by the ability of electrons to flow from one half cell too the other

Explanation:

How is the potential voltage of a redox reaction?

The potential difference is caused by the ability of electrons to flow from one half cell to the other. Electrons are able to move between electrodes because the chemical reaction is a redox reaction. A redox reaction occurs when a certain substance is oxidized, while another is reduced.

A chemist mixes 1.00 g CuCl2 with an excess of (NH4)2HPO4 in dilute aqueous solution . He measures the evolution of 670 J of hea
kaheart [24]

Answer:

\Delta H will be 90054 J

Explanation:

Number of moles = (mass)/(molar mass)

Molar mass of CuCl_{2} = 134.45 g/mol

So, 1.00 g of CuCl_{2} = \frac{1.00}{134.45}mol of CuCl_{2} = 0.00744 mol of CuCl_{2}

0.00744 mol of CuCl_{2} produces 670 J of heat

So, 1 mol of CuCl_{2} produces \frac{670}{0.00744}J of heat or 90054 J of heat

Chuck has a very detailed model of the solar system where each planet is made out of granite rock. Since his little sister reall
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

He could be blindfolded and know which was his and which was his sister's. All he would need to do is pick them both up and if they were too big then pick them up one at a time. The lumber might make it harder to tell, but this is a question about physical properties.

So there is a change in mass which for the purpose of this question should be  quite different. His sister's ought to be much lighter than his. He would find it easier to pick up.
