Explanation:

Charges on both magnesium and oxygen is 2. Though opposite in sign, they have equal charges so, both of them will be cancelled by each other.

As a result, formula of magnesium oxide is MgO and not MgO_{2}.

The student write the equation as Mg + O_2 \rightarrow MgO_2, it is not correct.

Therefore, given equation will be balanced as follows.

          2Mg + O_{2} \rightarrow 2MgO

Since, number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal. Hence, this equation is completely balanced.

The standard enthalpy of formation of BrCl(g) is 14.7 kJmol-1 . The standard enthalpies for the atomization of Br2(l) and Cl2(g)
natita [175]

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Br2(l) + Cl2(g) --> 2BrCl(g)

The enthalpy change for this reaction will be equal to twice the standard enthalpy change of formation for bromine monochloride, BrCl.

The standard enthalpy change of formation for a compound,

ΔH°f, is the change in enthalpy when one mole of that compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard state at a pressure of 1 atm.

This means that the standard enthalpy change of formation will correspond to the change in enthalpy associated with this reaction

1/2Br2(g) + 1/2Cl2(g) → BrCl(g)

Here, ΔH°rxn = ΔH°f

This means that the enthalpy change for this reaction will be twice the value of ΔH°f = 2 moles BrCl

Using Hess' law,

ΔH°f = total energy of reactant - total energy of product

= (1/2 * (+112) + 1/2 * (+121)) - 14.7

= 101.8 kJ/mol

ΔH°rxn = 101.8 kJ/mol.

How will the rate at which a solid solute dissolves change if the solution is stirred?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The rate at which the solute dissolves will increase.

Explanation:

If a solution is stirred, the rate at which a solute dissolves would increase substantially provided the solution is not yet saturated.

Stiring would cause more of the solution to come in contact with every part of the solute. It will increase the surface area of contact for the solution to act which will shoot up the rate of reaction. Stiring helps to bring solutes in solutions into a more close contact with the molecules or compounds of the medium.
