Why do magnesium and oxygen need to be heated for a reaction to occur?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]4 years ago
7 0

Because flame provides a source of heat so that the magnesium metal atoms can overcome their activation energy. Activation energy is the minimum energy required in order for a chemical reaction to proceed. When the magnesium metal burns it reacts with oxygen found in the air to form Magnesium Oxide.

Use the molar heat capacity for aluminum from table 1 to calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 260.5
Nimfa-mama [501]
Unfortunately, you failed to include the table 1 from which the molar heat capacity of aluminum could have been obtained. However, as a general rule, the heat needed to raise the temperature of a certain substance by certain degrees is calculated through the equation,
                            H = mcpdT
where H is heat, m is mass, cp is specific heat capacity, and dT is change in temperature. From a reliable source, cp for aluminum is equal to 0.215 cal/g°C. Substituting this to the equation,
                               H = (260.5 g)(0.215 cal/g°C)(125°C - 0)
                                        H = 7000.94 cal

Which of the following hypotheses cannot be tested using the scientific method
Arturiano [62]
I believe it's answer #3. Logically, at least.

You can test #1 through trial and error.
You can experiment #2 also through trial and error.
You cannot test #3 through trial and error, because that would be catastrophic.
You can test #4 through a survey and individual study and data collection.

Draw a chair conformation for cis-1-bromo-2,4-dimethylcyclohexane showing equatorial and axial positions at the carbon atoms bea
Ahat [919]

Answer:

See attachment.

Explanation:

Mono-substituted cyclohexanes are more stable with their substituents in an equatorial position. However, with poly-substituted cyclohexanes, the situation is more complex since the steric effects of all substituents have to be taken into account. In this case, you can see that <u>the interconversion is shifted towards the conformation in the bottom because there is less tension between the substituents</u>.
