Answer:-

3.2 grams

Explanation:-

The chemical formula for Magnesium Oxide is MgO.

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO

Atomic weight of Mg = 24 grams

Molecular weight of oxygen gas O2 = 16 x 2 = 32 grams.

Molecular weight of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 grams

From the balanced chemical equation we see

To produce 2 MgO we require 1 O2.

∴ To produce 2 x 40 grams of MgO we require 32 grams of Oxygen.

To produce 8 grams of MgO we require 32 x 8 / ( 2 x 40) grams of oxygen

= 3.2 grams of oxygen

The sun has been up for several hours, and it has been shining on these trees. What can the trees do because they are in sunligh
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1. C. take in carbon from the air. The carbon is used to make energy storage

molecules.

2. b Carbon is moving into the air and out of the air at the same time

Explanation:

Question 1:

Trees are plants, which are autotrophic organisms i.e. set of organisms that are capable of producing their own food via a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. This photosynthetic process produces sugars (glucose) in the presence of SUNLIGHT. According to this question, the sun has been up for several hours, and has been shining on these trees. This means that the trees can take in carbo dioxide (CO2) in order to perform the process of photosynthesis. Also, the number of energy storage molecules in the trees (ATP) will INCREASE.

What can the trees do because they are in sunlight? What does this mean for the ?

Which of the following is NOT a way carbon dioxide returns to the atmosphere?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

emissions by factories is the answer

Explanation:

Factories produce air pollution which is polluted air, the other options

decay of organisms, photosynthesis (convert light energy into chemical energy - and returns CO2), and cellular respiration are all of the ways carbon dioxide returns to the atmosphere.

Hope this helped! Have a nice day, be safe and healthy :)

An interaction between atoms that holds them together by reducing the potential energy of their electrons
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Chemical bond

Explanation:

Chemical bond is refer to as the interaction existing between two or more atoms, ions or molecules that holds them together by decreasing the potential energy of their electrons. Chemical bond leads to the formation of chemical compounds. Chemical bond may occur as a result of the electrostatic force of attraction that exists between oppositely charged ions such as those in ionic bonds or when electrons are shared such as those in covalent bonds.
