Answer: 2Mg (s) + O2 (g) ----> 2MgO (s)

Explanation:

Lets write the equation of the reaction.

Mg(s) + O2 (g) ----> MgO (s)

Counting the number of atoms for each element we have:

Left hand side: Mg =1 O = 2

Right hand side : Mg = 1, O =2

To balance this equation input "2" as coefficient for "MgO" on the right hand side and "2", as coefficient for "Mg" on the left hand side of the equation. Hence our balanced equation will be

2Mg (s) + O2 (g) -----> 2MgO (s)

Which type of weathering helped to form barrier islands
Grace [21]

Barrier islands typically have sand in the beach zone and dune field, and mud in the back-barrier. Overwash deposits sand in the back-barrier.

Barrier islands form in three ways. They can form from spits, from drowned dune ridges or from sand bars. Longshore drift is the movement of sand parallel to the shore caused by the angle of the waves breaking on the beach. ... When a storm such as a hurricane digs an inlet through the spit a barrier island is formed.

Which one of the following solutions will have the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

e = 0.250 M calcium hydroxide

it will produce 0.5 M [OH⁻].

Explanation:

A = 0.100 M HCl

HCl is an acid it would produce negligible amount of OH⁻.

B = 0.100 M magnesium hydroxide

Mg(OH)₂ + H₂O → Mg²⁺ + 2OH⁻

The ration of Mg(OH)₂  and OH⁻ is 1:2.

[OH⁻] = 2× 0.100 = 0.200 M

C =0.100 M ammonia

NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄OH → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

The Kb expression will be written as,

Kb = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]

Kb = 1.8 ×10 ⁻⁵

Now we will put the values:

1.8 ×10 ⁻⁵ = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / 0.100

[NH₄⁺] [OH⁻]  = x²

1.8 ×10 ⁻⁵ = x² / 0.100

x² = 1.8 ×10 ⁻⁵ × 0.100

x² =  1.8  × 10 ⁻⁶

x = 1.34 × 10 ⁻³

[OH⁻] = 1.34 × 10 ⁻³ M

d = 0.300 M rubidium hydroxide

RbOH + H₂O    →     Rb⁺ + OH⁻

The ratio of RbOH  and OH⁻ is 1:1.

[OH⁻] = 0.300 M

e = 0.250 M calcium hydroxide

Ca(OH)₂ + H₂O → Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻

The ration of Ca(OH)₂  and OH⁻ is 1:2.

[OH⁻] = 2× 0.250 = 0.5 M

What is the numerical value of Kc for the following reaction if the equilibrium mixture contains 0.51 M
Goryan [66]

The  numerical value  of Kc  is 1.129  x10^4

 

<u><em>  Explanation</em></u>

C3H6O +4O2→  3 CO2 + 3H2O

KC  is the ratio  of  concentration of the   product  over  the reactant.

Each concentration of  product and  reactant   are raised  to the power  of  its coefficient.

Therefore the KC  expression  of  equation above  is

Kc=[ (Co2)^3 (H2O)^3]  / [(C3H6O) (O2)^4)]

 Kc  =[(1.8^3) x  (2.0^3)] / [(0.51)  x (0.30^4)] =1.129  x10^4
