Answer:

Magnesium oxide

Explanation:

When magnesium reacts with oxygen, the magnesium atoms donate electrons to O2 molecules and thereby reduce the oxygen. Magnesium therefore acts as a reducing agent in this reaction. The O2 molecules, on the other hand, gain electrons from magnesium atoms and thereby oxidize the magnesium.

Predict the boiling point of water at a pressure of 1.5 atm.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

100.8 °C

Explanation:

The Clausius-clapeyron equation is:

$ln\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2}} =$ -Δ $\frac{H_{vap}}{r} (\frac{1}{T_{2}}-\frac{1}{T_{1}} )$

Where 'ΔHvap' is the enthalpy of vaporization; 'R' is the molar gas constant (8.314 j/mol); 'T1' is the temperature at the pressure 'P1' and 'T2' is the temperature at the pressure 'P2'

Isolating for T2 gives:

$T_{2}=(\frac{1}{T_{1}} -\frac{Rln\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} }{Delta H_{vap}}$

(sorry for 'deltaHvap' I can not input symbols into equations)

thus T2=100.8 °C

When 74.8g of alanine C3H7NO2 are dissolved in 1450.g of a certain mystery liquid X, the freezing point of the solution is 8.30°

dlinn [17]

Answer: The mass of potassium bromide that must be dissolved in the same mass of X to produce the same depression in freezing point is 58.2 grams

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$\Delta T_f=T_f^0-T_f=8.30^0C$ = Depression in freezing point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolyte)

$K_f$ = freezing point constant =

m= molality = $\frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}=\frac{74.8g\times 1000}{1450g\times 89.09g/mol}=0.579$
