When 1.5 grams of magnesium burns, how many grams of magnesium oxide will be formed?

1 answer:

6 0

The balanced chemical reaction for this would be written as:

2Mg + O2 = 2MgO

We use this reaction and the amount of the reactant given to calculate for the amount of magnesium oxide that is produced. We do as follows:

1.5 g Mg (1 mol / 24.31 g) ( 2 mol MgO / 2 mol Mg ) (40.30 g /1 mol ) = 2.49 g MgO produced

_________ is a systematic method of naming chemical compounds. This creates an unambiguous and consistent name for any chemical

Vlada [557]

Answer: IUPAC NOMENCLATURE

Explanation:

IUPAC stands for International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. They devised a systematic method for naming compounds in order to create a uniform global unambiguous system of nomenclature hence making it easier for researchers to share information more freely without the hindrance of reporting the same compound using different names in different parts of the world thus creating confusion in chemical literature.

A prion is an infectious self-reproducing protein structure. true or false

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

True is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The statement that a prion is an infectious, self-reproducing protein structure is true.

prion is an infectious particle and they do not have genetic material.

Prion present in the brain region that results in deadly neurodegenerative illnesses in humans and animals.

Prions are the self-producing proteinaceous infectious capable of transferring infection in the absence of the nucleic acids.
prions enter in the brain by an infection and they emerge from the variation in the gene that encodes the protein and once the prions present in the brain multiply by causing the benign proteins to refold into an abnormal form.

What compound is formed when methyloxirane (1,2-epoxypropane) is reacted with ethylmagnesium bromide followed by treatment with

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Pentan-2-ol

Explanation:

On this reaction, we have a Grignard reagent (ethylmagnesium bromide), therefore we will have the production of a carbanion (step 1). Then this carbanion can attack the least substituted carbon in the epoxide in this case carbon 1 (step 2). In this step, the epoxide is open and a negative charge is generated in the oxygen. The next step, is the treatment with aqueous acid, when we add acid the hydronium ion ( $H^+$ ) would be produced, so in the reaction mechanism, we can put the hydronium ion. This ion would be attacked by the negative charge produced in the second step to produce the final molecule: "Pentan-2-ol".
