N the reaction Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 which element’s oxidation number does not change?

Chemistry
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:- Oxidation number of Cl does not change as it is -1 on both sides.

Explanations:- oxidation number of Mg on reactant side is 0 as it is in its elemental form(not combined with another element).

Oxidation number  of hydrogen in its compounds is +1, so if H is +1 in HCl the oxidation number of Cl is -1 as the sum has to be zero.

On product side, Mg oxidation number is +2 as the oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2.

Two Cl are present in magnesium chloride, so if Mg is +2 then Cl is -1.

Oxidation number of H on product side is 0 as it is present in its elemental for, H_2 ,

So, it is only chlorine(Cl) whose oxidation number does not change for the given equation.

One way to determine the degree of saturation of a solid-liquid solution is to drop a crystal of the solute into the solution.
Dafna1 [17]

The answer is D: Saturated.

A saturated solution is one in which the exact maximum amount of solute has been dissolved.  So, new solute will not dissolve in the solution.  In contrast, an unsaturated solution can hold more solute, so if that option were correct, the crystal would have dissolved.

The other two terms are a bit more complicated.  A supersaturated solution is one holding an amount of solute above the sustainable limit.  Because of that, when more solute is added, the solution will immediately adjust, and some solute will come out of solution in a precipitate.  Because the crystal isn't growing, we can eliminate this option.

A concentrated solution is one holding a relatively large amount of solute.  However, you can have concentrated solutions that are saturated and unconcentrated (the word for this is dilute) solutions that aren't saturated.  Therefore, we can say that because the crystal doesn't dissolve, this solution is saturated, but we can't say with certainty that it is concentrated.

Because the first three options are invalid, as described above, while the scenario does describe a saturated solution, D is the correct answer.

Which of the following statements is true when considering temperature during a recrystallization? More than one answer may be c
Otrada [13]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

<em>(1) It is important that the sample is dissolved in just enough hot solvent. </em>

Explanation:

The process of recrystallization is important to eliminate the impurities and to obtain better crystals of the solid. The solvent used to perform the recrystallization must have a high dissolution power of the substance to be recrystallized and a low dissolution power of the impurities. This is in order to eliminate most impurities. Furthermore, <em>It is important that the sample is dissolved in just enough hot solvent </em>because this should be easy to remove after the recrystallization and the crystal should form easily when the solution cools. Also, it is better to add the hot solvent to solubilize the crystals and keep the impurities insoluble, instead of adding the cold solvent and heating the solution. Additionally, the process of cooling the solution must be done slowly to obtain large and fewer crystals. A fast ice-cooling will form smaller crystals.

If the caterpillar keeps moving at the same speed, how long will it take to travel 6cm?
Solnce55 [7]

It will take 15 s to travel 6 cm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

distance versus time graph

Required

time travel

Solution

Caterpillar motion is a straight motion with a constant speed, so that the graph between distance and time forms a diagonal line

If we look at the graph, we can determine the time taken when the distance reaches 6 cm (y axis) by drawing a line to the diagonal line and cutting the x-axis as time, and we get 15 s

Or we can also use the formula for motion at constant speed:

d = v x t

With v at point 2,5 of 2/5 m / s, so the time taken:

\tt t=\dfrac{d}{v}=\dfrac{6}{2/5}=15~s

The bond that describes an interaciton between two orbitals that is not symmetrical about a line between the two atoms nuclei is
inna [77]

Answer:

Pi bond

Explanation:

Pi bond is the type of covalent bond which results from formation of molecular orbital by the side-to-side overlap of the atomic orbitals along the plane perpendicular to the line which connects nuclei of the two atoms in which the bond is formed. It is denoted by symbol π.

The bond is not symmetrical to the internuclear axis and on rotation the axis, the bond breaks.
