<span>The mass number of an ion is calculated by adding the neutrons and electrons together. In this case 159+107=266. However, since this ion has a +1 charge, you must add 1 to the electrons. This would give a total mass of 267.</span>
Answer: Mg is the excess reactant for the forward reaction.
Explanation: It is a stoichiometry problem and solved with the help of given grams and using balanced equation. Grams of both the reactants are converted to moles and divided by their coefficients. The excess reactant is the one for which we get the highest number on doing above steps.
The balanced equation is:
Molar mass of silicon tetra chloride is 169.9 gram per mol and the molar mass of Mg is 24.3 gram per mol.
= 
= 2.67 mol Mg
From balanced equation, the coefficient of silicon tetra chloride is 1 and that of Mg is 2. So, we will divide the moles of silicon tetra chloride by 1 and that of Mg by 2 and see which one gives highest number.
For silicon tetra chloride, 
= 0.317
and for Mg, 
= 1.34
The highest number is for Mg and so the excess reactant for the forward reaction is Mg.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When a system is open then there will be exchange of energy between the system and surrounding.
Whereas when a system is closed then there will be no exchange of energy, that is, thermal energy will not flow into the atmosphere.
Thus, we can conclude that a sealed calorimeter is a closed system because thermal energy is not transferred to the environment.
Answer:
"Soaps are made from natural ingredients, such as plant oils (coconut, vegetable, palm, pine) or acids derived from animal fat. Detergents, on the other hand, are synthetic, man-made derivatives. While soap is limited in its applications, detergents can be formulated to include other ingredients for all sorts of cleaning purposes. Perhaps the most common and versatile of these ingredients are surfactants … surface active agents.
The main difference between soap and detergent is the ingredients. Soaps are made with biodegradable ingredients such as oils, lye and fats. ... Both clean clothes well, but detergents are more effective on stains and with brightening clothes. However, soap is kinder on the environment and skin. "
Hope this helps
