TLDR: The energy was being used simply to heat the substance up.
Whenever something melts, it performs what is called a "phase transition", where the state of matter moves from one thing to something else. You can see this in your iced drink at lunch; as the ice in the cup of liquid heats up, it reaches a point where it will eventually "change phase", or melt. The same can be achieved if you heat up that water enough, like if you're cooking; when you boil eggs, the water has so much thermal energy it can "change phase" and become a gas!
However, water doesn't randomly become a boiling gas, it has to heat up for a while before it reaches that temperature. For a real-life example, the next time you cook something, hold you hand above the water before it starts boiling. You'll see that that water has quite a high temperature despite not boiling.
There's a lot of more complex chemistry to describe this phenomena, such as the relationship between the temperature, pressure, and what is called the "vapor pressure" of a liquid when describing phase changes, but for now just focus on the heating effect. When ice melts, it doesn't seem like its heating up, but it is. The ice absorbs energy from its surroundings (the warmer water), thus heating up the ice and cooling down the water. Similarly, the bunsen burner serves to heat up things in the lab, so before the solid melts in this case it was simply heating up the solid to the point that it <u>could</u> melt.

Answer:
2.9 grams.
Explanation:
- From the balanced reaction:
<em>Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO,</em>
1.0 mole of Mg reacts with 0.5 mole of oxygen to produce 1.0 mole of MgO.
- We need to calculate the no. of moles of (1.8 g) of Mg and (6.0 g) of oxygen:
no. of moles of Mg = mass/molar mass = (1.8 g)/(24.3 g/mol) = 0.074 mol.
no. of moles of O₂ = mass/molar mass = (6.0 g)/(16.0 g/mol) = 0.375 mol.
<em>So. 0.074 mol of Mg reacts completely with (0.074/2 = 0.037 mol) of O₂ which be in excess.</em>
<em></em>
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
1.0 mole of Mg produce → 1.0 mol of MgO.
∴ 0.074 mol of Mg produce → 0.074 mol of MgO.
<em>∴ The amount of MgO produced = no. of moles x molar mass </em>= (0.074 mol)(40.3 g/mol) = <em>2.98 g.</em>
Electrons, everything is pretty much based around the likeliness of electrons to be swapped or shared between atoms
Answer: D. Mutation in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.
Explanation: It was not likely to be that the coding sequences are replicated more often. The only possible explanation is that the mutations in coding is more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations because it is in a non coding sequence.
Protons and neutrons.
Note: They probably are ABOUT the same mass. Don't think they are exactly the same.
