A sample of the compound magnesium oxide is synthesized as follows. 60. g of magnesium is burned and produces 100. g of magnesiu

m oxide, indicating that the magnesium combined with 40. g of oxygen in the air. If 30. g of magnesium had been used, what mass of oxygen would have combined with it? What law of chemistry is used in solving this problem?

Answer:

30 g of magnesium would be combined with 20 g of oxygen. The law used solving this problem is the Lavoisier Law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

If 60 g of magnesium combines with 40 g of oxygen to make 100 g of magnesium oxide, then 30 g of magnesium will combine with 20 g of oxygen to make 50 g of magnesium oxide.

This happens because in a chemical reaction there is no creation or descruction of atoms, only a rearrangement. Therefore, the mass of reactants should be equal to the mass of products.

The following equation represents the proportions of the substances:

Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO

Sati [7]

The Reaction is spontaneous when temperature is 430 K. Hence, Option (C) is correct.

<h3></h3><h3>What is Spontaneous reaction ?</h3>

Reactions are favorable when they result in a decrease in enthalpy and an increase in entropy of the system.

When both of these conditions are met, the reaction occurs naturally.

Spontaneous reaction is a reaction that favors the formation of products at the conditions under which the reaction is occurring.

According to Gibb's equation:

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

ΔG = Gibbs free energy

ΔH = enthalpy change  = +62.4 kJ/mol

ΔS = entropy change  = +0.145 kJ/molK

T = temperature in Kelvin

  • ΔG  = +ve, reaction is non spontaneous
  • ΔG = -ve, reaction is spontaneous
  • ΔG   = 0, reaction is in equilibrium

ΔH - TΔS = 0 for reaction to be spontaneous

T = ΔH / ΔS

Here,

T = 500K

Thus the Reaction is spontaneous when temperature is 500 K.

The reaction of glucose, c6h12o6, with oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water. what is the sum of the coefficients in the bala
Misha Larkins [42]

The balanced equation for the given reaction:

C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) + 6O₂→ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

So in the balanced equation the coefficients before glucose, oxygen, water and carbon dioxide are 1, 6, 6 and 6 respectively.

Therefore, the sum of the coefficients in the balanced equation

= 1 + 6 + 6 + 6

= 19

The correct answer is 19.

Which of the following is accurate in describing the placement and classification of iodine?
fenix001 [56]
You can answer this question by only searching the element in the periodic table.

The atomic number of iodine, I, is 53. It is placed in the column 17 (this is the Group) and row 5 (this is the Period).

The conclusion is that the iodine is located in Period 5, Group 17, and is classified as a nonmetal.
