Answer:
Dissolving is when the solute breaks up from a larger crystal of molecules into much smaller groups or individual molecules. This break up is caused by coming into contact with the solvent. In the case of salt water, the water molecules break off salt molecules from the larger crystal lattice.
Explanation:
Answer:
C. If Assertion is true statement but Reason is false.
Explanation:
The burning of magnesium in air produces magnesium oxide as shown by the equation;
2Mg(s) + O2(g) -----> 2MgO(s)
The magnesium oxide solid is recovered as a white ash. This is a typical example of an oxidation reaction which is also a combustion reaction.
The reason has nothing at all to do with the assertion hence the answer given.
Magnesium oxide is basic just like the oxides of other metals and dissolves in water to yield an alkali.
Question:
What's the article about?
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1. Word equation:</u>
- <em>mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen </em>
<u>2. Balanced molecular equation:</u>
<u>3. Mole ratio</u>
Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:
<u>4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)</u>
Use the equation for ideal gases:
<u>5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO</u>
<u>6. Convert to mass</u>
- mass = # moles × molar mass
- molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol
- mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g
