Answer:
2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO
Explanation:
Step 1. Start with the most complicated-looking formula (O₂?).
Put a 1 in front of it.
Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ MgO
Step 2. Balance O.
We have fixed 2 O on the left. We need 2O on the right. Put a 2 in front of MgO.
Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ 2MgO
Step 3. Balance Mg.
We have fixed 2 Mg on the right-hand side. We need 2 Mg atoms on the left. Put a 2 in front of Mg.
2Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ 2MgO
Every formula now has a coefficient. The equation should be balanced. Let’s check.
<u>Atom</u> <u>On the left</u> <u>On the righ</u>t
Mg 2 2
O 2 2
All atoms are balanced.
The balanced equation is
2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO
Answer:
The symbol is the right answer.
Explanation:
The “ Symbol” is the correct answer because chemist uses the letters of the alphabet to denote the element. For instance, the element oxygen is denoted by the letter of the alphabet “O”, the hydrogen is denoted by the letter of alphabet “H”, Boron is denoted by the letter of alphabet “B”, etc. Here these are the examples that use one letter but there are other elements that use more than 1 letter as the symbol. For example, the Chlorine is represented by the Cl.
Answer:
94.1 %
Explanation:
We firstly determine the equation:
2H₂O + O₂ → 2H₂O₂
2 moles of water react to 1 mol of oxygen in order to produce 2 moles of oxygen peroxide.
We convert the mass of oxygen to moles:50 g . 1mol /32g = 1.56 mol
Certainly oxygen is the limiting reactant.
2 moles of water react to 1 mol of oxygen.
13 moles of water may react to 13/2 = 6.5 moles. (And we only have 1.56)
As we determine the limiting reactant we continue to the products:
1 mol of O₂ can produce 2 moles of H₂O₂
Then 1.56 moles of O₂ will produce (1.56 . 2) = 3.125 moles
We convert the moles to mass: 3.125 mol . 34 g/mol= 106.25 g
That's the 100% yield or it can be called theoretical yield.
Percent yield = (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100
(100g / 106.25 g) . 100 = 94.1 %
Hi!
In collision theory, for a chemical reaction to occur - there must be <em>sufficient </em>energy to break down chemical bonds.
We call this the activation energy, as it's the energy needed to <em>activate </em>a chemical reaction!
Hopefully, this helps! =)
