The balanced equation is Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

Step 1. Write the unbalanced equation

Mg + AgNO₃ ⟶ Mg(NO₃)₂ + Ag

Step 2. Start with the most complicated-looking formula [Mg(NO₃)₂] and balance its atoms.

Mg: Already balanced —1 atom each side.

N: We need 2 N on the left. Put a 2 in front of AgNO₃.

1Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 1Mg(NO₃)₂ + Ag

O: Already balanced —6 atom6 each side.

Step 3: Balance Ag

We have 2Ag on the left. We need 2Ag on the right.

1Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 1Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

A(n) wave carries energy through matter.

Answer:

A wave is a disturbance that carries energy from one place to another through matter and space. When we through a stone or a pebble in calm water, then the particles of water moves up and down and this process continues for some time. This implies that there is a disturbance produced in water.

How are amounts of hydrogen and oxygen gas made from the electrolytic decomposition of water related to the chemical formula of

Len [333]

Very simply, you get twice as much Hydrogen as Oxygen, because the chemical formula is H2O, meaning two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom.
