What happens when a piece of Mg ribbon is burnt? Name the

Chemistry
1 answer:
algol133 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When a Magnesium Ribbon is burnt, a powdery substance called magnesium oxide is formed.

Explanation:

There has obviously been a chemical change because several chemical properties of the magnesium have been modified:  the color, the texture and the mass.

The increase in mass is due to the fact that oxygen from the air has combined with the magnesium to make magnesium oxide, MgO.

The chemical equation, Mg + O2  MgO shows this reaction but it needs to be balanced to make 2Mg + O2  2MgO.  

Using stoichiometry, we can convert this eqation into an equation with moles:  

2 mol Mg + 1 mol O2  2 mol MgO.  

Next, we convert to grams using atomic masses obtained from the periodic table:

48g Mg + 32g O2  80g MgO

Lastly, we determine the same thing in the proportions we used.  In other words, we used only 0.15g of Mg (not 48g) so everything needs to be divided by 320.  So 80 / 320 = 0.25 g.  If we burn 0.15 g of Mg, we obtain 0.25 g of MgO.

Hope this helps!!!

This is my first answer.

1. If 80.0 ml of 3.00 M HCl is used to make a 100. ml of dilute acid, what is the molarity
Aleonysh [2.5K]

<u>We are given:</u>

M1 = 3 Molar        V1 = 80 mL

M2 = x Molar        V2 = 100 mL

<u>Finding the molarity:</u>

We know that:

M₁V₁ = M₂V₂

where V can be in any units

(3)(80) = (x)(100)

x = 240/100                                          [dividing both sides by 100]

x = 2.4 Molar

What is the percent by mass of carbon in acetone, c 3 h 6 o?
Tatiana [17]
In the problem, we are tasked to solved for the amount of carbon (C) in the acetone having a molecular formula of C 3 H 6 O. We need to find first the molecular weight if Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O).

Molecular Weight:
C=12 g/mol
H=1 g/mol
O=16 g/mol

To calculate for the percent by mass of acetone, we assume 1 mol of acetone.
%C=( \frac{3(12 g/mol)}{3(12 g/mol)+6(1 g/mol)+16 g/mol} ) x 100%
%C=62.07%
Therefore, the percent by mass of carbon in acetone is 62.07%

Compare the amount of heat required to vaporize a 200.-gram sample of H2O(ℓ) at its boiling point to the amount of heat required
stira [4]
The enthalpy of vaporization of H2O is higher than the enthalpy of fusion of H2O, therefore vaporizing the same mass of H2O would require more heat/energy than melting the same mass of H2O.

A hydrogen atom requires a minimum energy of 2.18×10^-18 J atom to remove an electron from its ground state level. Determine whe
frosja888 [35]
Just find the energy of the <span>blueviolet light with a wavelength of 434.0 nm using the formula:

E  = hc / lambda

E = energy
c= speed of light =  3 x 10^8 m/s
h = planck's constant =  6.6 x 10^{-34}  m^2 kg / s
lambda =  434 nm =  434 x 10^{-9} m

Putting these values (with appropriate units) in the above formula :

we get:  Energy, E = 4.5 x 10^{-19} J

E = 0.45 x 10^{-18} J

Now, the </span>minimum energy is 2.18×10^-{18} J but our energy is 0.45 x 10^{-18} J which is less.
<span>Means the electron will not be removed
