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).

Calculate the mass ratio of S to O in SO, and then calculate the mass ratio of S to O in SO2, given that the mass of S is approx
ziro4ka [17]

Explanation:

From the knowledge of law of multiple proportions,

mass ratio of S to O in SO:

mass of S : mass of O

= 32 : 16

= 32/16

= 2/1

mass ratio of S to O in SO2:

= mass of S : 2 × mass of O

= 32 : 2 × 16

= 32/32

= 1/1

ratio of mass ratio of S to O in SO to mass ratio of S to O in SO2:

= 2/1 ÷ 1/1

= 2

Thus, the S to O mass ratio in SO is twice the S to O mass ratio in SO2.

Iron filling's were mixed together with salt crystal's What unique property of iron would be BEST to separate the fillings from
Leto [7]

Answer:

Magnetic property

Explanation:

Iron filling is a magnetic compound, unlike the salt crystals. This means they are attracted by magnets.

To separate a mixture of iron filling s and salt crystals, a magnet should be used to remove the iron fillings from the mixture.
