Answer: Mg is being oxidized.

Explanation:

The chemical equation for magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and an aqueous solution of magnesium (II) chloride.

Mg(s)+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)

Oxidation reaction : When there is a loss of electrons and an increase in oxidation state number.

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Reduction reaction : when there is gain of electrons and a decrease in oxidation state number.

2H^{+}+2e^-\rightarrow H_2

Thus Mg is being oxidized.

A compound is found to have an empirical formula of CH2O. If its molecular mass is 60.0 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?
denpristay [2]
The empirical formula CH₂O has a mass [(12 × 1) + (1 × 2) + (16 × 1)] = 30 g/mol

If the empirical formula is 30 g/mol,
and the molecular formula is 60 g/mol

Then the multiple is = 60 g/mol ÷ 30 g/mol 
                                = 2

Therefor the molecular formula is 2(CH₂O) = C₂H₄O₂   (OPTION 2)

Isotope b has a half-life of 3 days. a scientist measures out 100 grams of this substance. after 6 days has passed, the scientis
Brilliant_brown [7]
So half life is the time taken for a sample to decay to half its original mass, its a constant and applies to any original mass, it could be 5g or 1kg, it will take the same amount of time for the original mass to half. In this case the half life is 3 days.

After 3 days the sample will be at half its original mass, now 50g. 

Now we can treat the 50g as if its a new sample. After another 3 days (6 days in total) there will be half of 50g left, = 25g.

Why do so many tornadoes occur in tornado alley
Shtirlitz [24]
<span>

The conditions in tornado alley are more favorable. In the summer, the plains of middle US get increasingly hot which in turn, cause updrafts as well as thunderstorms. When hot air becomes unstable and rises it meets cooler air above the thunderclouds, which causes tornadoes.</span>
