Hypotheisis is just like an initial building block for a building. The true statements about hypothesis among the given are-
- First guess- hypothesis is a proposed explanation for something which is observed. Thus the explanation is just a guess and not a proved one.
- An initial idea which is assumed to be true - The whole experiment or research is based on an assumption which is supposed to be true and the scientist works to prove that true.
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
Answer:
It means the chemical entity is a radical
Explanation:
When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.
While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.
In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.
Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?
The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.
Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.
