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

What design element of an astronaut's spacesuits protects him or her from micrometeoroids, which are tiny bits of space debris t
leonid [27]

Answer:

Tough outer shell

Explanation:

Three types of space suits based on their purpose are IVA (Intravehicular activity), EVA (extravehicular activity), and IEVA (intra/extravehicular activity)

Space suits have an outer layer known as the Integrated Thermal Micrometeoroid Garment also known as the TMG or ITMG

The functions of the TMG includes the provision of an insulation medium to the wearer of the suit thereby preventing loss of heat and keeping the wearer warm, protect the wearer from solar radiation which are harmful as well as from Micrometeoroid and debris orbiting in space known as MMOD

The outermost layer of the EMU TMG suits is white Ortho-Fabric that consists of Nomex, Kevlar and Gore-Tex, making it fire resistant, very strong and very tough, and water proof as well as breathable.

Outline the difference between compounds and mixtures. State two examples of each.
alekssr [168]

Compounds are elements and its a pure substance with a gised composition.

Mixtures two or more subtances mixed to together.There are 2 type of mixtures.

Homegenous Mixtures (Solutions)-Two or more substances mixed but is uniform, you cant see the different mixtures.

Ex:Sugar mixed with water.The sugar dissolves and becomes one with the water.

Heterogeneous Mixtures-Two or more substances mixed but is not uniformed.You can see all the substances put into the mixture.

Ex:A salad, you can see whats all mixed in the sald and can pick it apart.

Please check this for me?

The answer is 
<span>2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g)

Your answer is not yet balanced because you have 3 oxygen atoms. it should be balanced by multiplying both side by 2 such as the balanced equation I made. To check it, I will explain why your answer is not yet balanced.

check: (from your equation)
</span> 1-Pb-1
 1-S-1
2 -O-3
the difference between the reactant and the product of Oxygen will prove that it is not yet balanced.

If you use 2PbS(s) + 3O2(g) = 2PbO(s) + 2SO2(g), to check it:
2-Pb-2
 2-S-2
6 -O-6
then this is now balance
