When you put a popcorn kernel in a microwave, the microwave heats up the water. The water then evaporates, and the air wants to escape. There will be so much pressure that the skin/shell of the kernel will break, exposing the corn.

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction:Mg + 2HCl → H2 + MgCl2?
krok68 [10]
The law of conservation of mass applies to every reaction. In this case, you start with 1 Mg, 2 H, and 2CL and end up with the same five only their bonds have been rearranged, or in other words, they are joined up differently.

A solution of zinc nitrate is added to a solution of magnesium sulfate. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all
alexandr402 [8]

Answer is: no reaction occurs, because all salts are soluble in water.

Balanced chemical reaction:  

Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + MgSO₄(aq)→ Mg(NO₃)₂(aq) + ZnSO₄(aq).

Ionic reaction:  

Zn²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + Mg²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → Mg²⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + Zn²⁺ + SO₄²⁻(aq).

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations and anions of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.

Methanol can be synthesized by combining carbon monoxide and hydrogen. CO(g) 2H2(g) CH3OH(g) . A reaction vessel contains the th
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The answer is C. The partial pressure of hydrogen will be unchanged.

Explanation:

CO_{(g)} + 2H_{2(g)}  ⇒  CH_{3}OH

Argon with electronic configuration 1s^{2}  2s^{2}  2p^{6}  3s^{2}  3p^{6} (that is atomic number 18) is an inert gas making it unreactive and it's addition to the reaction has no effect on the partial pressure of either the reactant or production or the state of the system.

The partial pressure of hydrogen will remain unchanged on the addition of Argon.

Consider the chemical formula for one unit of aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3. How many total atoms would be present in 22 units of
EastWind [94]

Answer:

1.32×10²⁵ atoms of sulfate are contained in 22 units of it

Explanation:

1 unit = 1 mol

Al₂(SO₄)₃ → Aluminum sulfate

As 1 unit = 1 mol, 1 unit has 6.02×10²³ atoms of aluminum sulfate.

Let's make a rule of three:

1 unit of Al₂(SO₄)₃ contains 02×10²³ atoms

Then, 22 units of Al₂(SO₄)₃ must contain (22 . 6.02×10²³) / 1 = 1.32×10²⁵ atoms
