Answer:

The correct reaction is as follows:

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

3. Synthesis

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are of different types depending on how they occur. One of these types is called SYNTHESIS OR COMBINATION REACTION. A synthesis reaction is that reaction in which two atoms of two elements are chemically combined to form a single molecule or compound. That is;

A + B → AB.

This is the case in this question where atoms of Magnesium (Mg) and oxygen (O) reacted to form a single compound of Magnesium oxide (MgO). Hence, it is said to be a SYNTHESIS REACTION.

I have 2 samples of solid chalk (aka calcium carbonate). Sample A has a total mass of 4.12 g and Sample B has a total mass of 19

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

A) Sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules

Explanation:

M = Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol

$N_A$ = Avogadro's number = $6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$

For the 4.12 g sample

Moles of a substance is given by

$n=\dfrac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.12}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.0411\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules is given by

$nN_A=0.0411\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}$

For the 19.37 g sample

$n=\dfrac{19.37}{100.0869}\\\Rightarrow n=0.193\ \text{mol}$

Number of molecules is given by

$nN_A=0.193\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}$

$1.16\times 10^{23}\ \text{molecules}>2.48\times 10^{22}\ \text{molecules}$

So, sample B has more calcium carbonate molecules.

The ratio of the elements of carbon, oxygen, calcium atoms, ions, has to be same in both the samples otherwise the samples cannot be considered as calcium carbonate. Same is applicable for impurities. If there are impurites then the sample cannot be considered as calcium carbonate.

Study the solutions in the glasses. Put the solutions in order from concentrated to dilute.

Svetach [21]

A. 1,2,3. The solutions are getting lighter meaning the concentration is decreasing. Its most likely that water was added to dilute the solutions.

Calculate the density of helium if a balloon with a capacity of 5.00 L holds 0.890 g.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Density is m/V. Also, 1 liter = 1000 $cm^3$ . So, we get 0.890/(5*1000) = $1.78*10^{-4}$ g/cm^3. You can convert this to kg/m^3 as well by multiplying it by 10. Depends which one you want.

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. Everything else about them is the same.(If you want more explanation tell me).
