Answer:

True

Explanation:

Law of conservation of mass states that for a closed system the mass have to remain constant in time, so for chemical equations you need to ensure that is balanced. Otherwise if you do not balance the equation you would not know how much of a compound to weight for a certain reaction, or you weight an incorrect quantity.

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{Mg is the limiting reactant}}$

Explanation:

We are given the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need moles, so, lets assemble the data in one place.

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

n/mol: 2 5

Calculate the moles of MgO we can obtain from each reactant.

From Mg:

The molar ratio of MgO:Mg is 2:2

$\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{2 mol Mg} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{2 mol Mg}} = \text{2 mol MgO}$

From O₂:

The molar ratio of MgO:O₂ is 2:1.

$\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{5 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{10 mol MgO}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{Mg is the limiting reactant}} \text{ because it gives the smaller amount of MgO}$

An atom that has gained or lost electrons is called _____.

jek_recluse [69]

It called cation, Well, When an atom gains or loses an electron, it attains a net charge and becomes an ion. When electrons are lost, the resulting ion is called cation and when electrons are gained, the resulting ion is called an anion. So, Cations have a net positive charge, while anions have a net negative charge. it is true.

Selah is making a mobile of an atom of beryllium to hang from the ceiling in her science class. She uses a clear plastic bag for

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because the images of the models are absent. However, i will try to give you a general description of what the correct answer should be.

Beryllium is a member of group 2 in the periodic table. Beryllium has an atomic number of 4. This implies that it has four protons in its nucleus and four electrons in its shells. In a neutral atom, the number of electrons on the shells is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus.

The electronic configuration of Beryllium is 1s2 2s2. This implies that it should have two shells each containing only two electrons each.

Since we are using white foam balls for protons and black foam balls for neutrons, the clear plastic will contain four white foam balls and five black foam balls since the mass number of beryllium is 9 and number of neutrons = mass number - number of protons.

Four blue foam balls hanging from strings will represent the electrons around the nucleus.

Any model that corresponds to the description above is the correct answer.
