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:

Mg(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+H_2(g)

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 Mg(OH)_2 is (+2).

Hence, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).

How much heat is absorbed when 447 g of water , Cp = 4.184 J/goC, goes from 25.0 oC to 35.0 oC?
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  Q = 18702.5 J

Explanation:

Data

mass of water = m = 447 g

Cp = 4.184 J/g°C

Temperature 1 = T1 = 25°C

Temperature 2 = T2 = 35°C

Heat = Q = ? Joules

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate heat

    Q = mCp(T2 - T1)

2.- Substitution

    Q = (447)(4.184)(35 - 25)

3.- Simplification

    Q = (447)(4.184)(10)

4.- Result

    Q = 18702.5 J

If a bottle of olive oil contains 1.4 kg of olive oil, what is the volume, in milliliters ( mL ), of the olive oil?
Serhud [2]

We know that density of olive oil = 0.93 g/mL

Given that mass of olive oil = 1.4 kg or 1400 g because 1000 g = 1.0 kg

From the definition of density;

Volume = mass/ density

= 1400 g/ 0.93 g/mL

=1505 mL
