Answer: -
Magnesium reacts very slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is
Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂
Explanation: -
Chemical symbol of magnesium = Mg
Chemical formula for magnesium hydroxide = Mg(OH)₂
Chemical formula for hydrogen gas = H₂
The other reactant with Mg must be water H₂O.
Thus the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is
Mg + 2H₂O → Mg(OH)₂ + H₂
Answer:
b. HCOOH/ NaHCOO.
Explanation:
A buffer system may be formed in one of two forms:
- A weak acid with its conjugate base.
- A weak base with its conjugate acid.
Chose the pairs below that you could use to make a buffered solution.
a. HCI/NaOH. NO. HCl is a strong acid and NaOH is a strong base.
b. HCOOH/ NaHCOO. YES. HCOOH is a weak acid and HCOO⁻ (coming from NaHCOO) is its conjugate base.
c. HNO₂/H₂SO₃. NO. Both are acids and they are unrelated to each other.
d. NaNO₃/ HNO₃. NO. HNO₃ is a strong acid.
