Answer:
3000 kJ/kg
Explanation:
The calorific value of a substance is the amount of heat produced per unit mass by the combustion of the substance.
It is given by:
where
Q is the amount of heat released
m is the mass of the fuel
In this problem, we have:
m = 60 kg is the mass of fuel
is the amount of heat released
Therefore, the calorific value of the fuel is:
Answer : The oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).
Explanation :
Oxidation number or oxidation state : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.
Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.
Rules for Oxidation Numbers are :
The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.
The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.
The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2.
The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.
The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.
The given chemical reaction is:
In the given reaction, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0) because it is a free element and the oxidation state of Mg in is (+2).
Hence, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).
