Answer:

Magnesium oxide is a binary compound of magnesium and oxygen while magnesium ribbon consists only of magnesium atoms.

Explanation:

The burning of magnesium in oxygen is a chemical change. It produces magnesium oxide having greater mass than magnesium ribbon. The greater mass results from the fact that the chemical reaction has added another element to the sample- oxygen. The mass of magnesium ribbon is the mass of magnesium atoms alone but in magnesium oxide, we consider the masses of magnesium and oxygen atoms making magnesium oxide heavier than magnesium ribbon.

a sample of water with a mass of 648.00 kg at 298 K is heated with 87 kh of energy. the specific heat of water is 1 J-1 kg K-1.
Stels [109]

q = mCΔT

The correct specific heat capacity of water is <em>4.187 kJ/(kg.K)</em>.

ΔT = q/mC = 87 kJ/[648.00 kg x 4.187 kJ/(kg.K)] = 87 kJ/(2713 kJ/K) = 0.032 K

Tf = Ti + ΔT = 298 K + 0.032 K = 298.032 K

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. Solve for the number of bacteria tha
pshichka [43]
The number of bacteria is given by:
N(t) = N(o) x 2ⁿ
Where N(t) is the number after n hours have passed and N(o) is the original number which is 15.
The number grown in the 12th hour is the difference in the number after the 11th and the 12th hour. Thus:
15 x 2¹² - 15 x 2¹¹
= 30,720 bacteria
