Given:
2 Mg + O2 → 2 MgO 
So,
<span>(25.0 g of Mg / 24.3051 g/mole) x (1/2) x (22.4 L/mole) = 11.5 L  of Oxygen will react with 25 grams of magnesium metal.</span>

Answer : The volume of oxygen gas is, 11.67 liters

Explanation : Given,

Mass of Mg = 25 g

Molar mass of Mg = 24 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Mg.

\text{Moles of }Mg=\frac{\text{Mass of }Mg}{\text{Molar mass of }Mg}=\frac{25g}{24g/mole}=1.042moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of oxygen gas.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 mole of Mg react with 1 mole of oxygen gas

So, 1.042 mole of Mg react with \frac{1.042}{2}=0.521 mole of oxygen gas

Now we have to calculate the volume of oxygen gas.

As we know that at STP,

1 mole of oxygen gas contains 22.4 L volume of oxygen gas

So, 0.521 mole of oxygen gas contains 0.521\times 22.4=11.67L volume of oxygen gas

Therefore, the volume of oxygen gas is, 11.67 liters

rusting of steel can be prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc. Explain, in terms of electron transfer, why steal d
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Wouldn't rust because zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron and will therefore oxidize first.

Explanation:

This process whereby rusting of steel is prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc is known as galvanization.

Now, in this process, the steel object will be coated in a thin layer of zinc. This coating will prevent oxygen and water from reaching the underneath metal since the zinc will also act as a sacrificial metal.

Now, Zinc is used because it has a lower reduction potential than iron and thus it will get easily more oxidized than iron. Which means the zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron.

Also, since zinc has a lower reduction potential, it is therefore the more active metal. Thus, even if the zinc coating is scratched and the steel is exposed to moist air, the zinc will still get to oxidize before the iron.
