Answer: 16 g of O_{2} reacted with the magnesium

Explanation:

from the equation of reaction: 2Mg + O_{2}→2MgO

48g of Mg requires 32g of O2 to yield 80g of MgO

That is :

    48 : 32 : 80

Hence 12 : x: 32

xg of O2  =\frac{12(32)}{48}

= 16 g of O_{2}

Therefore:

16 g of O_{2} reacted with the magnesium

The yeast acted as a catalyst. Explain the purpose of a catalyst in a reaction
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The catalyst speeds up the chemical reaction.

Explanation:

The process in which chemical reaction rate increases by addition of substance is termed as a catalyst. The chemical reaction happens faster when a catalyst is present because it gives an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy.

The catalyst usually forms a temporary intermediate that helps in regenerating the original catalyst in the cyclic process. Yeast when added in a mixture work as a catalyst and helps with chemical reaction.

How many grams of nickel (+2) are required to replace all of the silver when 15.55 grams of AgNO3 are present?
Karolina [17]

2AgNO3 + Ni2+  = Ni(NO3)2 + 2Ag<span>+</span>

From the reaction, it can be seen that AgNO3 and Ni2+ has following amount of substance relationshep:

n(AgNO3):n(Ni)=2:1

From the relationshep we can determinate requred moles of Ni2+:

n(AgNO3)=m/M= 15.5/169.87=0.09 moles

So, n (Ni)=n(AgNO3)/2=0.045 moles

Finaly needed mass of Ni2+ is:

m(Ni2+)=nxM=0,045x58.7=2.64g

What are molecules, and how are the properties of molecules different from the atoms they come from? Give an example.
goldenfox [79]

Molecule, a group of two or more atoms that form the smallest identifiable unit into which a pure substance can be divided and still retain the composition and chemical properties of that substance.

While Atoms are single neutral particles,

Molecules are neutral particles made of two or more atoms bonded together.

Exaplmes for molecules

H2O (water)

N2 (nitrogen)

O3 (ozone)

CaO (calcium oxide)

C6H12O6 (glucose, a type of sugar)

NaCl (table salt

And examples for atoms

Neon (Ne)

Hydrogen (H)

Argon (Ar)

Iron (Fe)

Calcium (Ca)

Deuterium, an isotope of hydrogen that has one proton and one neutron.

Plutonium (Pu)

F-, a fluorine anion.
