Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter A. 1

Explanation:

Unbalanced chemical reaction

                      Mg  +  O₂  ⇒  MgO

               Reactants    Elements    Products

                       1            Magnesium       1

                       2           Oxygen              1

Balanced chemical reaction

                      2Mg  +  O₂  ⇒  2MgO

              Reactants    Elements    Products

                       2           Magnesium       2

                       2           Oxygen             2

Conclusion

The coefficients of the balanced equation are 2, 1, 2

Answer:

The coefficient for oxygen, in this equation is 1

Explanation:

Step 1: The unbalanced equation

2Mg + O2 → MgO

Step 2: Balancing the equation

2Mg + O2 → MgO

On the left side we have 2x Mg, on the right side we have 1x Mg(in MgO).

To balance the amount of Mg we have to multiply MgO by 2.

Now the amount of O is on both sides also equal.

The equation is balanced.

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

The coefficient for oxygen, in this equation is 1

A mixture contains NaHCO3 together with unreactive components. A 1.54 g sample of the mixture reacts with HA to produce 0.561 g
Marianna [84]

Answer:

69.55 (w/w) %

Explanation:

When NaHCO3 reacts with an acid HA, the reaction that occurs is:

NaHCO3 + HA → H2O + NaA + CO2

<em>Where 1 mole of NaHCO3 produce 1 mole of CO2</em>

<em />

Thus, we need to convert the mass of CO2 to moles using its molar mass (44g/mol). Then, based on the chemical equation, moles of CO2 produced are equal to moles of NaHCO3 in the mixture. With its molar mass -84g/mol- we can find the mass of NaHCO3 and mass percent:

<em>Moles CO2:</em>

0.561g * (1mol / 44g) = 0.01275 moles CO2 = Moles NaHCO3.

<em>Mass NaHCO3:</em>

0.01275 moles * (84g/mol) = 1.071g NaHCO3

<em>Mass percent:</em>

1.071g NaHCO3 / 1.54g sample * 100

<h3>69.55 (w/w) %</h3>

Given an initial cyclopropane concentration of 0.00560 m, calculate the concentration of cyclopropane that remains after 1.50 ho
maria [59]

<span>We can solve this problem by assuming that the decay of cyclopropane follows a 1st order rate of reaction. So that the equation for decay follows the expression:</span>

A = Ao e^(- k t) 

Where,

A = amount remaining at time t = unknown (what to solve for) <span>
Ao = amount at time zero = 0.00560 M </span><span>
<span>k = rate constant
t = time = 1.50 hours or 5400 s </span></span>

The rate constant should be given in the problem which I think you forgot to include. For the sake of calculation, I will assume a rate constant which I found in other sources:

k = 5.29× 10^–4 s–1                     (plug in the correct k value)

<span>Plugging in the values in the 1st equation:</span>

A = 0.00560 M * e^(-5.29 × 10^–4 s–1 * 5400 s )

A = 3.218 <span>× 10^–4 M           (simplify as necessary)</span>
