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.

At a certain temperature and pressure, one liter of CO2 gas weighs 1.95 g.
AysviL [449]

Answer:

1.332 g.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • At the same T and P and constant V (1.0 L), different gases have the same no. of moles (n):

<em>∴ (n) of CO₂ = (n) of C₂H₆</em>

<em></em>

∵ n = mass/molar mass

<em>∴ (mass/molar mass) of CO₂ = (mass/molar mass) of C₂H₆</em>

mass of CO₂ = 1.95 g, molar mass of CO₂ = 44.01 g/mol.

mass of C₂H₆ = ??? g, molar mass of C₂H₆ = 30.07 g/mol.

<em>∴ mass of C₂H₆ = [(mass/molar mass) of CO₂]*(molar mass) of C₂H₆</em> = [(1.95 g / 44.01 g/mol)] * (30.07 g/mol) =<em> 1.332 g.</em>

With circulation, the heart provides your body with:
Ivanshal [37]
<h3>Answer:  D) all of the above</h3>

Explanation:

The lungs pump oxygen in and carbon dioxide out, which goes through the blood stream to help with the cell's energy needs.

Nutrients pass through the blood stream as well. The nutrients start with the digestive system (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine) before going into the blood stream. The nutrients are building blocks to help make new cells when old ones die off.

When those cells die off, the body sheds them like dead skin, but internal dead cells are passed off as waste. This waste and other byproducts the body doesn't need passes through the blood stream as well.

In short, the blood stream is basically the highway to help get desired materials (eg: oxygen and nutrients) and get rid of waste (eg: carbon dioxide and other unwanted byproducts or dead cell material)

So that's why the answer includes A, B and C.

How many hydrogen atoms Is needed for C5H8 to become saturated
tatiyna

Answer:

4 hydrogen atoms are needed to C5H8 to saturate it

Explanation: because C5H8 is an alkyne that contains a triple bond or alkene with 2 double bonds.

2 hydrogen atoms are needed to saturate one double bond and 4 hydrogen atoms are needed to fully Saturate a triple bond or two double bonds.
