What is the oxidation half-reaction for 2Mg + O2 + 2Mgo?

Chemistry
1 answer:
miv72 [106K]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B => Mg° => Mg⁺² + 2e⁻

Explanation:

2Mg° + O₂ => 2MgO  rewrite => Mg° + 1/2O₂ => 2MgO

Oxidation Half Rxn => Mg° => Mg⁺² + 2e⁻

Reduction Half Rxn => 1/2O₂ + 2e⁻ => 2O⁻

__________________________________-

FYI Note =>  For half-reactions one always finds the electrons listed on the product side of the reaction for oxidation reactions and for reduction reactions on the reactant side.

Is glue a liquid or a solid
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

White school glue is liquid because its long polymers can slide over and along one another. It does not flow easily, though; it is quite viscous. The addition of some chemicals—such as a borax solution (or sodium tetraborate decahydrate dissolved in water)—can cause cross-links to form between the polymers.

Explain how the atom is electrically neutral, having an equal number of protons and electrons.
lord [1]

Answer:

A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other and atom become neutral.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other and atom become neutral. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.

In the writing of ionic chemical formulas, what factor is "crossed over" in the crossover rule?
Levart [38]

Ionic compounds are formed by the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms.  The atom which gains electron(s) forms anion whereas loss of electron(s) results in the formation of cation.  They are bonded to each other by electrostatic force of attraction between the negatively and positively charged atoms.


While writing the ionic chemical formula for binary ionic compound the rules are:

  • Writing the chemical symbol of the metals and non-metals involved in the compound formation.
  • The charge i.e. the absolute value of oxidation number of each metal is written on respective atoms.
  • The charge i.e. the absolute value of oxidation number are cross-multiplied that is the charge of first ion becomes the subscript of second ion and vice versa.

Hence, in the writing of ionic chemical formulas, the value of each ion's charge is "crossed over" in the crossover rule.
