Answer:

MgCl2

Explanation:

From the question given,

Mass of Mg = 3.6g

Mass of the chloride = 14.25g

Note: the chloride contains Mg and Cl

Mass of Cl = Mass of chloride — Mass of Mg

Mass of Cl = 14.25 — 3.6 = 10.65g

Now we can easily obtain the formula of chloride as follow:

Mg = 3.6g

Cl = 10.65g

Divide by their molar mass

Mg = 3.6/24 = 0.15

Cl = 10.65/35.5 = 0.3

Divide by the smallest

Mg = 0.15/0.15 = 1

Cl = 0.3/0.15 = 2

Therefore, the formula of chloride is MgCl2

Which of the following is the correct equation for the reaction below?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Option C.

2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) →  2MgO (s)

Explanation:

Two moles of magnesium solid react with one mol of oxygen gas to

form two moles of magnesium-oxide solid

2 Mg (s) + O₂(g) →  2MgO (s)

That's the reaction for the magnessium oxide's formation.

Be careful cause we do not say molecules, they are moles.

The stoichiometry indicates the number of moles that react and the moles which are produced.

It is a redox reaction, because the magnessium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. Both elements, changed the oxidation states.

What are the reasons global warming is caused my humans and animals. Plz help 100 points
pantera1 [17]
Global Warming has been increased by living organisms like animals and humans by many ways:

1) We burn fossil fuels, which is very bad for our Environment's health
2) Animals like cows & buffalo produces a lot of methane which causes Global Warming.
3) Animals cut a lot of trees for their products, so increase the amount of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thus increases Global Warming.
4) We don't minimize our dependence on Non-renewable source of energy which 'causes a lot of pollution in the environment

Hope this helps!

How does black and coloured objects absorb light and convert it into heat?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Light energy can be converted into heat energy. A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. A white object reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature of the object does not increase noticeably.
