The burning of methane gas, given below, is a redox reaction. which part of the reaction illustrates oxidation, Ch4+O2---CO2+H2O<span>CH4---CO2</span>
To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:
Mass Moles
K 52.10 52.10/39.10 = 1.33 1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C 15.8 15.8/12 = 1.32 1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O 32.1 32.1 / 16 = 2.01 2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5
The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.
Answer:
Option C.
2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO (s)
Explanation:
Two moles of magnesium solid react with one mol of oxygen gas to
form two moles of magnesium-oxide solid
2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) → 2MgO (s)
That's the reaction for the magnessium oxide's formation.
Be careful cause we do not say molecules, they are moles.
The stoichiometry indicates the number of moles that react and the moles which are produced.
It is a redox reaction, because the magnessium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. Both elements, changed the oxidation states.
