Answer is "C".
<em><u>Explanation
</u></em>
Single replacement reaction is a type of reaction which one reactant reacts with another and makes a product by replacing one element by another.
Mg (Magnesium) reacts with Al₂O₃ (Aluminium oxide) and produces MgO (Magnesium oxide) and Al (Aluminium) as products. Here Al is replaced by Mg. Reaction is
Mg + Al₂O₃ → MgO + Al
To balance the reaction equation, both left and right hand sides should have same number of atoms in each element.
Here,
<em>Left Hand Side has </em> <em>Right Hand Side has</em>
Mg = 1 atom Mg = 1 atom
Al = 2 atom Al = 1 atom
O = 3 atom O = 1 atom
First step : balance the O atoms in both sides. To do that "3" should be added before MgO.
Second step : After balancing O atoms, there will be 3 Mg atoms in right hand side. Hence to balance Mg atoms again "3" should be added before Mg in left hand side
Third step : as the final step balance the Al atoms by adding "2" before Al in the right hand side.
Then final balanced equation should be
3Mg + Al₂O₃ → 3MgO + 2Al
Answer:
E) None of the above
Explanation:
Metals react according to the activity series, thta is organized with the leats metals in in the bottom and the most reactive metals in the top. Most reactive metals displace less reactive metals in the compounds they are found.
in this series, Gold, Silver and Mercury are below Copper, this is, they are less reactive than Cu. this means none of them can displace it from its compounds.
Answer is: formula is Al₂(CO₃)₃.
Aluminium carbonate (Al₂(CO₃)₃) has neutral charge. Because aluminium cation has positive charge 3+ and carbonate anion has negative charge 2-, for right chemical formula, we need two aluminium cations and three carbonate anion:
charge of the molecule = 2 · (3+) + 3 · (-2).
charge of the molecule = 0.
Answer:
Redox
Explanation:
Reduction is gain of electrons
oxidation is loss of electrons
