To determine the moles in 40 grams of magnesium, we need the atomic weight. This can easily be found on a periodic table. For this problem, let's use 24.305 grams/mole.
We are going to set up an equation to determine this problem. In this equation, we want all our units to cancel out except for 'moles.'

In this, we can see that the unit 'grams' will cancel out to leave us with moles.
In solving the equation, we determine that there are approximately 1.65 moles of Magnesium.

Explanation:
a) In the mechanism for the acid catalysed esterification of propanoic acid using ethanol, we can see that the first step is the protonation of the acid followed by nucleophillic attack of the alcohol. Loss of water and consequent deprotonation regenerates the acid catalyst. We can see the fate of the 18O labelled ethanol in the mechanism shown.
b) In the second mechanism, an unnamed ester is hydrolysed using an acid catalyst. The attack of the acid and subsequent nucleophillic attack of water labelled with 18O leads to the incorporation of this 18O into the product acid as shown in the mechanism attached to this answer.
Answer:
The current temperature is -15° (15° below zero)
Explanation:
The temperature drops 10°:
T-10°
It will reach 25° below zero:
T - 10° = -25°
We add 10° in both members of the equation:
T - 10° +10° = -25° +10°
The equation is simplified as follows:
T = -25° +10°
T = -15°
The integer -15° can be expressed as 15° below zero.
Answer:
earth surface is uneven because land heats faster than water causes air to warm.,expand and rise over land while it cools and sinks over the cooler waters surface..
