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

Chemistry
1 answer:
algol132 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.

2. Calculate the atomic mass of an element that has two isotopes, each with 50.00% abundance. One isotope has a mass of 63.00 am
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The atomic mass of element is 65.5 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of X-63 = 50.000%

Atomic mass of  X-63 = 63.00 amu

Atomic mass of X-68 = 68.00 amu

Atomic mass of element = ?

Solution:

Abundance of X-68 = 100-50 = 50%

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (50×63)+(50×68) /100

Average atomic mass =  3150 + 3400 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 6550 / 100

Average atomic mass = 65.5 amu.

The atomic mass of element is 65.5 amu.

People in the United States know that water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit. In Europe, people know that water boils at 100 degr
snow_tiger [21]
No, the water is not different it is just that the units of measurement in the US is different then those units in Europe. This is similar to how the US uses miles and Europe uses kilometers
